Guide to fincas, hotels and unique spaces (with guest logistics)
Getting married in Mallorca means saying “I do” surrounded by Mediterranean light, golden stone and a sea breeze. The island offers rustic-elegant fincas among olive trees, bay-front hotels with endless terraces, historic chapels that feel straight out of a movie, and even yachts for intimate ceremonies. My goal here is to help you choose the right venue and, above all, organise the logistics so the big day flows with zero surprises.
Right after you land, starting smoothly is easy: head to the meeting point at Parking G, hop on the free shuttle minibus and in five minutes you’re behind the wheel, straight to finca visits or your menu tasting. Travelling fully insured with no excess, no holds or deposits, with unlimited mileage, full-to-full fuel and free additional drivers frees up headspace for what matters: seeing venues, making decisions and adjusting timings. And if plans change (rain, a supplier moves an appointment), free cancellation 24 h gives you breathing room.
How to choose your venue: style, capacity, accommodation and a solid plan B
Before “where”, decide how you want your wedding to feel. If you’re after a rustic-elegant vibe, inland fincas in the Raiguer/Pla area deliver marès stone walls, orange-tree patios and pergolas under fairy lights. For an urban-chic style, Palma and bay hotels offer terraces with views, strong kitchens and easy access for suppliers and guests. If you want the sea front and centre, there are coastal restaurants and hotels — even rooftops — where sunset does the heavy lifting. And if you want something truly singular, you’ll find chapels inside fincas/hotels, restored historic mills, or even yachts for smaller ceremonies.
Three questions that instantly clarify everything:
- Real capacity (not just “max capacity”): how does the space breathe with your table layout or food-station plan?
- Accommodation: does the venue (or nearby area) offer rooms for close family and friends flying in?
- Plan B: is there a beautiful indoor space or an integrated tent if wind kicks up or it rains? An elegant plan B is priceless.
With a car, venue visits are productive: in one morning you can see two fincas and finish with a menu tasting in your chosen area. We usually “block” one day for the south/bay, another for the interior, and — if needed — a third for the Tramuntana, linking via MA-19/MA-20/MA-10 without rushing.
Fincas with charm: rustic-elegant options near Palma and inland
Fincas are the aesthetic heart of many Mallorca weddings. Their value is in the connected flow: patio for cocktails, a garden for the ceremony, a porch or integrated tent for dinner, and a lounge/cellar for the plan B. Near Palma you gain quick access and happy suppliers; inland you get silence and wide skies, with the advantage that many fincas can extend hours within regulations.
When I plan visits, I suggest focusing on: guest flow (everything moving without bottlenecks), power/outlets for music and lighting, catering zones and clearly signposted parking. With unlimited mileage you can spread decor, signage and details across days; and with additional drivers you can rotate without burning anyone out.
Seaside hotels and restaurants: Palma Bay and the north/south coasts
If you want guaranteed views and a sharp kitchen, a hotel or restaurant by the sea makes the hard parts easy: in-house kitchen, own staff and rooms to get ready and sleep with zero transfers. Palma Bay wins on logistics (airport nearby, parking, taxis) and the nighttime postcard; Port de Sóller and other coastal areas add a sailing-town charm and light that looks unreal in photos.
Timing tip: ceremony in the late afternoon, cocktail during golden hour, dinner as the moon shows up. For guests arriving independently, share the exact parking location and the precise access point; on the wedding day, the minutes you don’t lose… you actually get to enjoy.
Unique venues: historic chapels, yachts and sunset rooftops
Some weddings need an iconic touch. Certain fincas/hotels preserve 15th-century chapels where you can hold a religious ceremony or a symbolic ritual with serious atmosphere. For smaller groups, a classic yacht delivers intimacy with the Mediterranean all around; a civil ceremony can be organised on board with prior coordination. And if you want skyline, a rooftop with live music and cocktails creates a very “Palma” night.
Here, the key is coordinating permits, safety plans and timings with suppliers and the venue. We often help move the officiant, sound equipment and floral decor between point A and B without drama; having a car with no excess and no deposit keeps your card free for last-minute payments.
Wedding logistics: airport routes, parking and guest shuttles
Think of mobility as a script:
- Arrivals: set two airport pick-up times for family; with express pickup you’re on the road in 5 minutes and no anxious clusters form.
- Routes: MA-19/MA-20 to loop around Palma; MA-10 for Tramuntana (curves and viewpoints: build in extra time).
- Guest parking: choose a reference point (roundabout, small hut, big olive tree) and add signage; if access is narrow, organise a shuttle from a larger parking area.
- Suppliers: catering, music, photo/video teams appreciate frictionless load-in/load-out slots and a support car for “forgotten items”. With unlimited mileage and additional drivers, the team goes where needed.
- Return: agree on two shuttle times and share exit routes; the night ends calmly, not in a bottleneck.
A realistic timeline: venue visits, menu tasting, pre-wedding and post-wedding
The big day is won on the days before:
- Visits + tasting: in two days you can see 3–4 venues and taste menus at the end of each day.
- Pre-wedding (evening): an easy welcome in a village or on a terrace; great photos, zero pressure.
- Wedding: setup in the morning, rest at midday, late-afternoon ceremony and controlled kitchen/show timing.
- Post-wedding: a relaxed brunch and, if you feel like it, a beach stop or short drive at sunset for those staying longer.
Our goal is that the car disappears from your mind: full-to-full to control budget, 24 h cancellation to reshuffle appointments with the forecast, and no card holds so you can pay for last details without surprises.
Budget and suppliers: how to compare without getting lost
When comparing proposals, look at the invisible: included electrical power, music cut-off time, rain and wind handling (a real plan B), permits if you’re adding a tent, extra staff during peak service, post-event cleaning and insurance. For catering, ask them to specify brands (wines/spirits) and equivalences if changes happen. For music, confirm the setups (ceremony, cocktail, dinner, party) and mics for speeches.
And for moving everything around, no excess/no deposit plus free additional drivers translates to “nobody gets stuck” and “your card stays calm”.
