Late Oct
October and November are a wonderful time in south Mallorca: mild weather, near-empty beaches, golden light and low prices. In return, part of the village starts closing for the season. Here we’ll tell you what Colònia de Sant Jordi is like in the quiet season, what you can do and what to expect so there are no surprises.
Data: Open-Meteo.
What the quiet season is like
With summer over, Colònia falls calm: beaches almost to yourself, terraces with no queue and a beautiful golden light. The weather is usually mild and pleasant in October, a bit cooler in November. It’s the village’s authentic face, the one we locals see once the crowds leave.
Can you still swim?
In early October, yes: the sea is still mild (around 22 °C) and there are good beach days. As October goes on and November arrives, the water cools and swimming is for the brave, but the coastal walks are at their best.

What to do
It’s the season for walking (the coast and countryside, at a good temperature), for birds — flamingos gather at the Salobrar — for enjoying Es Trenc almost empty, and for markets, wineries and good food without the crush. A serene, very local plan.
Mind the closures
The honest downside: towards late October and in November, part of the hospitality and some hotels close for the season, and the village slows down. Check what’s open on your dates and have a backup plan for dinner. We’re open almost all year: write to us and we’ll tell you how things are.

Why it’s worth it
If you want nature, calm and good value rather than a beach party, October and November are a win. We compare it with the rest of the year in the best time to visit and help with costs in how much a week costs.
| October | November | |
|---|---|---|
| Sea | ~22°C early on, still swimmable | Cooler, for the brave |
| Weather | Mild, golden light | Cooler, very quiet |
| What’s open | Most; closures begin late Oct | Part of hospitality closed |
Who it’s for (and who it isn’t)
Great if you want mild seas, near-empty beaches and better prices.
Skip it if you want every service open: some close.
Local tip: the water is still warm from summer; check restaurant hours, many cut back off-season.
