Covid no longer constitutes a global health emergency. Therefore, you are unlikely to need a Covid test for air travel. Nevertheless, under certain circumstances, you might still wish test for your personal peace of mind.
The Coronavirus testing facility at Palma Airport is no longer in operation. Therefore, if you need a Covid test before you travel, you will need to arrange this elsewhere on the island before coming to the airport.
The two main testing options are:
A PCR test is highly sensitive and generally delivers acccurate results. However, this type of test can be expensive and you may have to wait around 24 hours to obtain the results and your certificate, if required.
This is also known as a lateral flow test. This type of test is not only cheaper than a PCR test but you will also get your results sooner (usually in less than one hour).
Covid test generally need to be arranged privately, in which case you will have to pay for your test.
A free Covid-test at one of the public health centres can only be carried out if you are experiencing symptoms and have been referred by a doctor.
All of the main tourist resorts in Mallorca have Covid testing facilities in private clinics, health centres, and a range of medical and dental surgeries.
Covid-testing can also be arranged in a range of different hotels across the island.
As you can imagine, the city of Palma de Mallorca has a lot of private clinics and laboratories where Covid testing can be carried out. We have listed a few of them below.
