There is a word you may be hearing more often: Fallcation.
It describes something quite simple: travelling in autumn instead of automatically taking your main break in July or August.
And for a destination like Palma de Mallorca, it makes a lot of sense.
October. November. December. Even January.
Four months when Mallorca becomes a very different destination.
The beaches are quieter.
Palma becomes easier to walk.
Restaurant terraces belong to locals again.
Bellver Forest invites you to actually explore it.
The Paseo Marítimo can be enjoyed rather than simply crossed.
The old town, Santa Catalina and El Terreno recover another rhythm.
And you can still wake up looking over the Mediterranean.
At Hotel Amic Horizonte, we have always believed that Mallorca deserves more than one season.
Our location explains why.
We sit above the Port of Palma, between the renovated Paseo Marítimo, Porto Pi, the Club de Mar and Bellver, with El Terreno just around the corner and Palma city centre within easy reach.
That makes the Horizonte an interesting base for a Fallcation.
Wake up overlooking the Bay of Palma.
Have breakfast without rushing.
Walk through Bellver Forest.
Spend the morning exploring Palma.
Stop for lunch somewhere you would never find during a rushed summer itinerary.
Come back to the hotel.
Watch the ships enter and leave the port.
And realise that doing less can sometimes mean experiencing more.
OCTOBER IN PALMA
The Mediterranean is still very present.
Long days, outdoor plans, cycling, golf, walking, terraces and that wonderful feeling that summer hasn't completely disappeared.
NOVEMBER
Palma changes gear.
Museums, gastronomy, shopping, architecture, Bellver, neighbourhoods, local markets and weekend escapes become much more important.
This is city-break Mallorca.
DECEMBER
Palma dresses for Christmas.
Lights, shopping, dinners, markets, walks through the historic centre and a Mediterranean Christmas without needing to leave the island.
And imagine waking up on a December morning with the entire Bay of Palma outside your window.
JANUARY
Perhaps the most underestimated month of all.
Quiet Palma.
Winter light over the Mediterranean.
Fewer crowds.
Long walks.
Workations.
Bleisure.
A few days away after Christmas.
Or simply the pleasure of discovering Mallorca when Mallorca isn't trying to be August.
And this is where the Fallcation trend becomes particularly interesting.
For decades we have associated Mallorca with one image:
summer holidays.
But Palma can be something else.
A weekend destination.
A cultural destination.
A gastronomic destination.
A sports destination.
A bleisure destination.
A winter-sun destination.
And sometimes simply a place to disappear for three nights.
At Hotel Amic Horizonte, we don't want autumn and winter to imitate summer.
We want you to discover what Mallorca becomes when summer leaves.
If you're considering Mallorca between October and January, don't just search for a room.
Search for a different Mallorca.
And perhaps start with a window overlooking the Bay of Palma.
Your Fallcation starts at the Horizon.
