Who says Halloween needs cold weather, rainy skies, and pumpkin spice everything?
In Mallorca, spooky season comes with a little Mediterranean twist. Think golden autumn sunshine, charming old-town streets, cozy cafés, flickering candles, and just the right amount of Halloween magic.
Whether you're visiting the island in October, living in Palma, or simply looking for something different to do with your friends, Halloween in Mallorca is the perfect excuse to slow down, get creative, and enjoy the coziest side of the island.
Here are some of our favourite ways to celebrate!
1. Discover Mallorca's Own Halloween Traditions
Did you know that Mallorca has its very own version of Halloween?
Known as Nit de les Ànimes (Night of the Souls), this traditional celebration takes place on October 31, just before All Saints' Day.
Long before Halloween costumes and trick-or-treating became popular, Mallorcan families celebrated this time of year by lighting candles, remembering loved ones, and sharing traditional sweets.
Even pumpkins have a place in the island's history! Traditionally, hollowed-out pumpkins could be used to hold candles, creating little lights to guide souls home.
Keep an eye out for seasonal treats like panellets, bunyols, and the colourful rosaris ensucrats.
A little spooky, a little sweet, and full of local history.
2. Get Creative with Halloween Workshops in Palma 🎨
Not everyone wants to spend Halloween at a crowded party. Sometimes the best plans involve good company, a creative activity, and making something with your own hands.
That's exactly the kind of Halloween we love at Fun Art Club Palma.
This October, we're bringing a little spooky magic into our creative studio with Halloween-inspired art experiences.
Our Halloween favourites include:
-
Halloween Candle Holders: Get your hands into air-dry clay and create your own spooky little candle holder.
-
Spooky Acrylic Art: Paint something Halloween-inspired, from playful ghosts to moody autumn scenes.
-
Cozy Pottery Painting: Decorate your own ceramic piece with pumpkins, stars, little ghosts, or whatever your imagination comes up with.
No artistic experience needed. Just come as you are, bring your favourite people, and enjoy getting creative.
And the best part? You'll leave with a little Halloween memory you actually made yourself. Pottery painting pieces will be ready for collection after glazing and firing.
3. Wander Through Palma's Old Town After Dark
There's something especially magical about Palma in autumn.
The summer crowds begin to fade, the evenings become cooler, and the narrow streets of the Old Town feel extra atmospheric.
Take a walk through the historic centre, discover hidden courtyards, admire the beautiful architecture, and stop for a cozy drink along the way.
Our tip? Explore the little streets around the cathedral and La Lonja as the sun goes down.
No haunted house needed. Palma already knows how to create a mysterious atmosphere.
4. Enjoy a Spooky Movie Night
If your ideal Halloween includes popcorn, scary movies, and hiding behind a blanket, we've got good news.
Mallorca also has plenty to offer for movie lovers during spooky season.
In 2026, Ocimax Palma is bringing back its 12 Hours of Terror Halloween cinema marathon, with a selection of horror films for those who love a proper scare.
Not into horror? Plan your own cozy Halloween movie night at home with your favourite autumn snacks and a handmade ceramic mug.
We fully support both options.
5. Make Halloween a Little More Personal
Halloween doesn't have to mean big parties or complicated plans.
Sometimes it's about gathering your favourite people and doing something memorable together.
Plan a creative date, organise a Halloween-themed girls' afternoon, invite your friends for pottery painting, or simply treat yourself to a little creative time.
Because in our opinion, the best seasonal memories aren't always the loudest ones.
Sometimes they're made around a table, with paint-covered hands, good conversations, and lots of laughter.
