Mallorca in June: 7-day family itinerary with kids

A day-by-day plan for enjoying the island with children in early summer

Seven days in Mallorca in June gives your family the best of the island before the peak-season crowds arrive. Flights from London, Manchester or Birmingham take just over two hours with Ryanair, easyJet or Jet2, and the time difference is only one hour ahead of the UK. Temperatures range from 18 °C in the morning to 28 °C in the afternoon, the sea reaches a swimmable 22 °C, and you can expect barely 2 rainy days all month. This itinerary covers Palma's old town and cathedral, the vintage Sóller railway through the Tramuntana mountains, the vast shallow sands of Playa de Muro in the north, and the spectacular Drach Caves on the east coast. June works brilliantly for British families: it falls within half-term for some schools (late May into early June) and the first couple of weeks before English and Welsh schools break up for summer. Car hire is essential for this trip and costs roughly 30-50 EUR per day (around £25-42) in June. Distances are short, rarely more than 45 minutes, and roads are well maintained with clear signposting. The plan is designed for two adults and two children aged 6-10, with a pace that leaves free time each afternoon for the hotel pool or a quiet lie-down. All prices are in euros. At current rates, 1 EUR is roughly £0.85. You will find verified opening times, up-to-date prices and family-friendly restaurant suggestions for each day.

🧭 Practical info

🚇

Getting around

Car hire is essential for this itinerary. Budget 30-50 EUR/day (£25-42) in June for a family car with child seats. Book ahead on comparison sites (check rentalcars.com). Roads are well maintained and sat-nav on your phone is fine. TIB buses cover the island but timetables limit flexibility with children. The Sóller train is a day trip in itself, not everyday transport. Your UK driving licence is valid in Spain.

📱

Booking tips

Book the Sóller train at trendesoller.com at least 3 days ahead (seats sell out fast in June). For the Drach Caves, buying on the day is fine in early June, but book online for the second half of the month. Palma Aquarium offers online discounts: compare palmaaquarium.com and resellers. For flights, Ryanair and easyJet from Stansted, Gatwick or Manchester often have the best fares if booked 6-8 weeks ahead.
