As you would expect with Sa Coma holidays, sun lovers will be in their element in July and August as temperatures reach up to and beyond 30°; Celsius - sun cream is an essential at this time of year. If you like it a little cooler then you will love Majorca later in the year as the temperatures are in the low to mid 20's, with plenty sun and the occasional cloudy day.
