Holiday at Easter in Mallorca

Processions, Mallorcan gastronomy, experiences and the sea! In Mallorca, celebrating Easter on the beach is the most common thing to do. Suppose you are looking for accommodation in Palma to enjoy these traditional religious festivities. In that case, Puro Grand Hotel, located in the neighbourhood of La Lonja (Old Town of Palma), the epicentre of the agenda of Easter activities in Palma, is the perfect destination hotel for a few days of disconnection.

With warm temperatures, fewer tourists, culture, gastronomy, spectacular landscapes, sun, endless leisure activities and a great atmosphere, Easter in Mallorca is the perfect excuse to experience the island like at no other time of the year.

In all the towns of Mallorca, the medieval tradition brings together multiple brotherhoods that walk in procession to commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, you can see processions and Devallaments (Christ's descent from the cross), on Good Friday. The most famous processions in Palma are those in the city centre, making Puro Grand Hotel the ideal spot to enjoy a stay in the centre of Palma at Easter. The processions in Alcúdia are also famous for their route along the city walls and the devotion of the faithful.

Pollença, Artá and Felanitx are other locations worth seeing if you want to visit towns in Mallorca at Easter.

Suppose you like the countryside and want to spend a day in nature in Palma. In that case, you will be pleased to know that, on Domingo de Ángel (the first Sunday after Easter), it is a tradition among Mallorcan families to gather at Bellver Castle and share a meal in the open air. Other options for gathering are Alaró Castle, Sant Blai Chapel (Campos), Puig de Santa Magdalena (Inca), Mont-i-sion (Porreres), and Santuari de Gracia (Llucmajor).

But religious traditions and rituals are not the only things to do at Easter in Palma de Mallorca. Try the typical panades (pea, fish or meat pies), the delicious robiols (sweet pastries filled with chocolate, cottage cheese, pumpkin jam or jams) and, our favourite, crespells (the island's most special handmade sweet biscuits), made only with Mallorcan produce: olive oil, lard and oranges from Sóller. We know that without these delicacies, Easter in Palma would not be the same. Therefore, this year, we have decided to prepare them for our guests, who will find them in their rooms during their stay at Puro Grand Hotel. 

Sabrina Bragagnolo and the entire kitchen staff of Beatnik Restaurant & Bar prepare the famous Brunch at Puro Grand Hotel and create our delicious crespells. Sabrina is also a passionate baker and has her own Instagram account where she sells her custom products (@Felisa_amorcomestible_).

Crespells are not the only typical Mallorcan Easter recipes that our guests will enjoy: they can also try the famous monas de Pascua (Easter cake) or huevos de pascua y conejitos (Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies) godparents traditionally give to their godchildren.

In addition to savouring delicious and traditional Mallorcan gastronomy, if you stay at Puro Grand Hotel at Easter, you can enjoy unique experiences. For example, you can savour our delicious breakfast in the centre of Palma, enjoy a day at the beach at Easter in the crystal-clear waters of Mallorca, spend a day by the sea at Purobeach Palma or Purobeach Illetas, our beach clubs in Palma. There are even more experiences available for you; for example, if you book our Golf Experience, you can enjoy rounds of golf at some of the most exclusive golf courses in Mallorca, such as Son Quint, Son Muntaner or Son Gual. You could even discover the secrets of our delicious olive oil with an exclusive experience, including tasting and breakfast with local produce. Or, if you prefer a guided tour of the most beautiful spots in Palma, our Palma's Secrets experience is for you.

We also have our spa at Puro Grand Hotel; imagine repairing your skin at the end of a day out with one of the treatments by SEASKIN LIFE, the wellness brand of Puro.

Another of the activities at Easter in Palma is visiting the popular Fira del Ram: carousels, a Ferris wheel, raffles, and stalls with all kinds of food and products, all guaranteeing fun with family, friends or as a couple.

Pack your bags and get ready to experience the best time of the year to visit Palma de Mallorca. We are waiting for you this Easter at Puro Grand Hotel to enjoy an unforgettable holiday in Palma.
