Mallorca is not only famous for its paradise beaches and stunning natural landscapes, but also for its vibrant cultural and festive calendar, offering unique experiences throughout the year. From traditional celebrations rooted in local heritage to international events that attract visitors from all over the world, the island always has something special to offer — and at BLUESEA Hotels we bring you the highlights. Among the many events, three stand out: the Sant Antoni Festivities in Sa Pobla, the Nit de l’Art in Palma and the prestigious Copa del Rey Sailing Regatta.

Sant Antoni Festivities in Sa Pobla: tradition and fire
Every January, Sa Pobla becomes the heart of devotion and celebration during the Sant Antoni festivities. Locals pay tribute to their patron saint with masses and the traditional blessing of animals, but what truly captivates visitors are the bonfires, the dimonis (devils) and the live music filling the streets. The colourful, fiery atmosphere is one of the best ways to discover Mallorca’s most authentic traditions. After enjoying the celebration, BLUESEA Gran Playa in Sa Coma is the perfect place to rest and continue exploring the island — ideal for combining Mallorcan tradition with seaside holidays.

Nit de l’Art in Palma: art on every corner
In September, Palma’s old town transforms into an open-air museum during the Nit de l’Art. For one evening, galleries, museums and cultural venues open their doors for free, offering exhibitions, installations and special activities. Streets, courtyards and squares fill with visitors enjoying a lively atmosphere where contemporary art takes centre stage. It’s a night that blends culture with the unique experience of exploring Palma after dark. For those wanting to enjoy it up close, BLUESEA Arenal Tower — just minutes from Palma — is an excellent accommodation option to combine art, culture and seaside relaxation.

Copa del Rey Sailing Regatta: sport and international prestige
Each summer, Palma Bay hosts the Copa del Rey Sailing Regatta, one of the most important nautical events in the Mediterranean. With boats and crews from around the world, this competition combines sporting adrenaline with the glamour of Mallorcan social life. Beyond the race itself, the lively atmosphere in the port and throughout the city turns this event into an experience blending sport, maritime tradition and Mediterranean lifestyle. To enjoy it comfortably, BLUESEA Mediodía in El Arenal offers the perfect location, well connected to Palma and ideal for combining sailing days with urban leisure.

Enjoy Mallorca all year round
The Sant Antoni Festivities, the Nit de l’Art and the Copa del Rey Sailing Regatta are just a taste of Mallorca’s rich cultural and festive offerings. Whether warming up by the bonfires in January, celebrating art in September or enjoying the sea in midsummer, the island always offers reasons to visit — any time of the year.
