The weather in this northern pocket of Majorca is the definition of "sun-drenched bliss" for the vast majority of the year. During the summer months, you can bank on around 11 hours of bright sunshine daily, which is more than enough time to nab that glowy summer tan everyone is after. The surrounding peaks of the Tramuntana range act as a bit of a natural shield, but they also mean you might get the occasional short, refreshing shower that keeps the pine forests smelling amaze, especially in the shoulder seasons. Even in the crisp winter months, the light in Cala San Vicente remains standing tall, offering bright clear skies that make the white-capped waves look exactly like they do on the postcards.
