Frequently Asked Questions

Every day we get inundated with e-mails from people asking he most basic of questions like: "What's the weather like?" to the such questions as: "How far is it from my hotel to the middle of Cala Millor?" We answer every single e-mail we receive but have listed those most frequently asked questions below, which will (a) hopefully answer your queries and (b) reduce our workload!

OK, let's start with - What is the weather like?"
Hot...Between May and October it is virtually sunshine all the way with very little rain. In July and August it can be very humid and at night it is very sticky. If you come to Cala Millor or cala Bona over the Winter months you will need to bring a jumper and/or coat for the evenings because it does go cooler but there will almost certainly be some stage each day when you can still enjoy the sun.

I am thinking of coming to Mallorca to work in the Summer months, what do you recommend?
As you can imagine, work in the Summer varies from one year to the next. It is impossible to point you in any direction but what we would recommend that you come out on a cheap package towards the end of March and look around for work - and accommodation - while you are here. If you get fixed up then stay. If not, just enjoy the holiday! Click on our employment advice page for more information.
