What are the opening times for post offices on the island if I need to send mail or packages?

Most post offices across the island operate during typical business hours around 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM or 3:00 PM on weekdays, particularly in towns like Palma, Manacor, and Alcudia. Some larger branches in Palma or Soller may stay open later into the afternoon, but it’s less common outside the main urban centres. Saturdays usually see limited or no opening hours, with many post offices closed entirely or open only for a short morning window. Expect closures on Sundays and public holidays.

If you’re staying in smaller villages in the Serra de Tramuntana or along the Ma-13 coast road, hours can be more restrictive, so double-checking the schedule locally is wise. Palma’s central post office in the city centre is the most reliable option for sending letters, postcards, or packages with standard and express services. It’s also where you’ll find helpful staff familiar with international postage, especially around popular events like Sant Sebastià, when many visitors correspond home.

For those relying on public transport, the TIB bus network links most towns to post offices, but timing your visit within opening hours is essential since services aren't available late. It’s advisable to ask locally or check Correos’ website for the latest details, particularly if you need to send parcels before a deadline or want to purchase postage stamps for souvenirs. In seaside resorts like Cala Mondragó or Formentor, post options tend to be limited, so planning ahead helps avoid last-minute trips.
