Are hotel pools in Palma usually open throughout the year, or do they close seasonally?

In Palma, many hotels and resorts near the city centre and along the coast maintain their pools year-round, sometimes heating them to provide a comfortable swim even on chillier days. While the island enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, from December through February the sea remains too cool for many, so heated pools come in handy. As you head into spring and autumn, temperatures can vary, but swimming outdoors is often still quite pleasant.

Outside Palma, particularly in smaller towns like Soller or Alcudia, pools may close in the quieter off-season from November to March, reflecting the drop in visitor numbers. Facilities in these areas might focus more on pools being available from April through October. If you’re staying at a hotel high up in the Serra de Tramuntana or near the northern beaches like Formentor, it’s especially worth checking directly with your accommodation about pool hours and heating. For those visiting in winter months, some hotels compensate with indoor pools or spa facilities, providing year-round options beyond the outdoor plunge.
