Pet Travel Tips for Palma de Mallorca

Travelling to Mallorca with a pet requires some preparation but is straightforward once you know the rules. The island has a well-developed pet-friendly infrastructure — many hotels, restaurants, and beaches welcome animals — but local regulations are enforced and fines are real. Key rules: dogs must be leashed on all public streets and parks except designated off-leash zones; most beaches are off-limits from April to October; and pet insurance has been compulsory for dogs in the Balearic Islands since September 2023.
