February trade-offs

  • ↓Still cool (9–15°C); the beach is an aesthetic experience, not a swimming one
  • ↓Limited restaurant hours in resort towns; Palma has the most year-round life

September trade-offs

  • ↓First autumn rain possible late September; a brief shower can end an otherwise perfect day
  • ↓Some very large resort hotels start winding down their programming
