Winter in Cala San Vicente is a unique season with a really calm atmosphere and spectacular landscapes.

Why visit Cala San Vicente in winter?
Mediterranean Fresh Climate
Winter in Cala San Vicente spans from December 21 to March 20. During these months, daytime temperatures range from 9°C to 16°C, while nights can be chilly, dropping to 4°C or 5°C. Rainfall is occasional, and Tramuntana winds can intensify the feeling of cold and dampness. Despite the cooler weather, many days remain sunny, with around 9–10 hours of daylight—still great for enjoying outdoor activities.
The sea, although cold with temperatures around 14°C, remains a visual spectacle and a refreshing option for the bravest ones.
Tranquility and Lower Prices
Winter is a time of utter calm in Cala San Vicente. Accommodation prices are lower, as most tourists choose to visit the island during summer.
