Practical guide to travel to Mallorca by motorhome
Generalities about Mallorca in a motorhome
Language
The official language of Mallorca is español although the use of the Majorcan, a dialect variety of Catalan. Due to the large influx of tourists on the island, a large part of the population speaks English and it is also very common for tourist services staff to speak German.
Location
The census amounts to 941.470 inhabitants (Statista, 2020).
A delicious gastronomy
Balearic gastronomy is an authentic delight forged in the heart of the Mediterranean. You can find flavors of a great diversity and exquisite top quality products such as oil, ensaimada, sobrassada, coca de trempó, cheese, wine, flaó, herbs, sea salt ... all of them linked to the land.
Among the typical dishes of the island you cannot miss the arròs brut. It is a soupy dish that is prepared with meat, typical Mallorcan sausages, such as sobrasada and butifarrón, as well as adding vegetables and mushrooms. You will discover from old wineries (cellers), converted into restaurants with traditional cuisine, to typical bars where you can have tapas, small family establishments by the sea or authentic culinary sanctuaries with a Michelin star. A real pleasure for the senses!
Pricing
The cost of living in Mallorca is somewhat high but resembles other cities such as Madrid or Barcelona. Some examples: coffee with milk: € 1,80; beer: € 2,50; loaf of bread: € 1; Menu of the day in a normal restaurant: € 15.
How to access Mallorca by motorhome: Ferry
Arriving by sea to Mallorca is quite a spectacle. An excellent option is to enter through the Balearia ferry. We have done it with them and the truth is that it was a great choice for quality, services and price.
You can board in Barcelona, Dénia or Valencia. The round-trip price from Barcelona for two adults and two children traveling by motorhome is around 500 euros, although it will depend a lot on how far in advance you take the tickets.
If you travel with a dog, ferrypetfriendly
They are petfriendly which made it possible for us to travel with our dog Max inside the cabin and not be separated from us the whole way. There was even a bowl of water for him inside the cabin.
For the walks, on deck 9 we had a pipican, where Max socialized. Since he did not do anything else hahaha. He went the whole trip without peeing there. That is why I recommend that before boarding, take him for a walk to do his things in the street. Luckily, it was not the first experience, and so we did.
The night ferry to Mallorca in a motorhome, a good option not to find out about the trip
We took the night ferry from Barcelona to Palma de Mallorca from Baleària, the best option if you are traveling with children and not to find out about the trip.
It left Barcelona at 22:30 p.m., although at 20:30 p.m. we should already be there waiting for boarding. The journey takes about seven hours. We arrive at 6 in the morning and from there to enjoy.
As we were going in a cabin, we were able to sleep the sea of well, well some more than others, that Jose does not like the sea too much lol.
When you arrive at 22:30 pm you can have dinner or directly to bed, they have restaurant service, just like for breakfast. When we go with the children, we have dinner on French time before leaving home.
Infrastructures and services of Mallorca by motorhome
Mallorca It is not an easy island nor a friend of motorhomes and campers, here I leave you already warned. This can be seen only by contemplating the infrastructures and services that it offers us.
We start with the infrastructures: Neither a campsite nor any motorhome area with services and overnight stays throughout the island, neither public nor private.
And it is that there are no regulations for motorhome areas and the Insular Council for the moment has not wanted to give any permission to private parties or to any City Council that has tried, the last Pollença.
Roads and accessibility in Mallorca by motorhome
Mallorca is made up of a total of 205 roads which add up to 1.578,28 km. Most of the roads that exist on the island are conventional, 201, totaling 1.483,68 km. In addition, the island has 4 high-capacity roads 94,6 km that reinforce communication on the island (according to data from the Consell de Mallorca, 2021).
In general, they are cwide two-way roads with hard shoulder to move from one municipality to another. Of course, to always access the coastal part, as a general rule, you go along narrow two-way roads, without markings or hard shoulder. In high season it must be crazy, since a motorhome and car do not pass if one does not stop and maneuver something. In addition, we have seen that cars tend to park on those roads in high season, which will add insanity in July and August for sure.
Finally, point out that along the Serra de la Tramontana you must be clear that they are not narrow but they do not have a shoulder many times and they have many curves.
Emptying and filling of water services in Mallorca for motorhomes
We only have one clean point in Palma to empty and fill water from 8 to 20 hours and another point at a gas station Repsol of Son Servera. That's all and without being able to spend the night.
Overnight parking signposted in Mallorca for motorhomes
As specific overnight places for motorhomes, we only find a few car parks without services that can be counted on with one palm of the hand (for example, Son Servera or Son Serra de la Marina town hall).
The most common thing we will visit on the island are car parks without much charm shared with other cars and camping is never allowed. About these car parks in general you should know that they are small in most tourist towns, which complicates accessibility and parking a lot in high season. Therefore, remember, do not go in July and August, we totally discourage it, avoid problems.
Majorca law for motorhomes: a lot of vigilance against camping
Specific regulations on motorhomes are non-existent on the island, a lagoon that is only covered by the general legislation of Spain.
Thus, If a municipality does not prohibit parking and / or overnight motorhomes by ordinance, we can park and spend the night without problem, as long as we do not leave the parking marks and do not camp (this is very important).
Prohibitions on parking in Mallorca in a motorhome, sometimes, and always camping!
On the other hand, there are many municipalities on the island that veto us from parking on their streets. Unfortunately, we are not very well received, not even by the Island Tourist Board that we called before coming and they literally told us, «You cannot come, there are no infrastructures for you and we do not agree with this type of tourism in the island". Obviously, our freedom of movement is a constitutional right, and almost like a tantrum, we decided to come.
What is Forbidden, and this is by law, on the island is camping, as in all of Spain. We cannot camp anywhere on the island. Not even in private places, since there is no camping or any private motorhome area, which is where we could camp in the rest of Spain.
And remember, that camping is spending more than 72 hours in the same place or going outside the perimeter of the vehicle (opening a simple window, taking out the awning or taking out the table and chairs is camping).
Advice to avoid camping with heat in Mallorca in a motorhome or camper
That is why a tip if you come in summer, come with autonomous air conditioning or an autonomous Viesa-type refrigerator so as not to open windows or take anything out and thus avoid all kinds of fines while also being cool in your camper or motorhome. For us, God Viesa is everything 🙂 It should come standard and not be an extra, we always say it, so surely many would stop camping and stop us from banning unique places.
Remember camping is: leaving the perimeter of the vehicle (opening windows, awning or taking out a table and chairs ...).
The best time to come to Mallorca by motorhome or camper: low season
Clearly late May, June, September and early OctobereIt is the best time of the year if what you want is to bathe on the beaches. There are no crowds, although there are people beginning and it makes it easier to move around as well as park and spend the night without problems.
Of course, don't even think about coming in July and August, it must be crazy. The island is small, it is crowded those months and only with cars everything is full and inaccessibility increases. The motorhomes on the island ask us to clarify this. Do not come in July and August for the good of all, there is no specific infrastructure for motorhomes and here everything collapses.
Now, as we told you above, the Viesa or an air conditioner with autonomy should be mandatory to come in summer In a motorhome or camper, since the heat and not having camping places, make the issue complicated to make life inside the motorhome or camper. With the Viesa we do not open a window in the heat of the heat wave. Viesa does not give us commission eh hehehe but really if we want to be karacoles this extra is one of our recommendations to avoid infractions in summer.
Yes, you just want to enjoy the peace and landscapes of this island winter, autumn and spring the great option. Without overcrowding and with tranquility.

You can get to this lovely place mountain of the Serra de Tramuntana through an ascending and sinuous but well accessible road. This stone village is surrounded by an inspiring landscape that has attracted artists such as the Polish composer Frederic Chopin and his lover, the writer George Sand in 1838 or also to Unamuno, Rubén Darío or Azorín. The cute townhouses that line the streets are quaint and although small on the outside, they often feature a unique garden and flower-filled areas.

15 minutes by motorhome from the center of town you reach Port de Valldemossa, a small hidden and picturesque port. Challenging landscape attracts hikers and cyclists In search of emotions, in a motorhome there is very little parking and we prefer not to go.
And if what you like are the viewpoints over the Mediterranean SeaDo not miss the Mirador de s'Escaleta or the Finca Mirador and the iconic rock formation of Sa Foradada, you will find it on the way to Deia, the parking is small so in July and August we do not think there is room.
