Why Choose Mallorca for Your Destination Wedding?

Mallorca has become one of Europe's most sought-after destination wedding locations, and for good reason. With over 300 days of sunshine per year, stunning Mediterranean landscapes, world-class venues, and excellent infrastructure, the island offers everything couples need for their perfect day.

The Appeal of a Mallorcan Wedding

The island combines natural beauty with sophisticated luxury. From dramatic clifftop venues overlooking the sea to rustic fincas surrounded by olive groves, Mallorca offers diverse settings to match any wedding vision. The island's rich cultural heritage adds depth to celebrations, while its excellent connectivity makes it accessible for guests from across Europe and beyond.

For EU Citizens

EU citizens can legally marry in Mallorca with relatively straightforward paperwork. You'll need:

  • Valid passports or national ID cards

  • Birth certificates (apostilled and translated if not in Spanish)

  • Certificate of no impediment (certificado de soltería)

  • Proof of residence (at least one party must be registered in Spain)
  • For Non-EU Citizens

    The process is more complex for non-EU couples. Many choose to:

  • Have a legal ceremony in their home country

  • Celebrate with a symbolic ceremony in Mallorca
  • This approach eliminates bureaucratic hurdles while still allowing for a beautiful celebration on the island.

    Choosing Your Wedding Date

    Peak Season (May - October)

    The most popular months for Mallorca weddings are:

  • May & June: Perfect weather (22-28°C), gardens in bloom, pre-summer crowds

  • September: Warm but not hot, sea still swimmable, fewer tourists

  • July & August: Hottest months, ideal for beach and pool parties
  • Off-Season (November - April)

    Winter weddings offer:

  • Significant cost savings (30-50% less)

  • More venue availability

  • Intimate atmosphere

  • Dramatic winter light for photography
  • Top Venue Categories
