Amy Schumer is currently on holiday in Mallorca and although she’s better known for her sharp wit, Hollywood films and sold-out comedy tours, the A-list talent has been showing off a different skill during her latest visit to the island…

The American comedian and actress was spotted paddleboarding, swapping movie premieres and red carpets for turquoise waters and Mediterranean sunshine. The relaxed scenes offered a glimpse into how one of America’s most recognisable entertainment stars is taking a break from her busy schedule. She even enjoyed a moment interacting with the island’s famous wild goats – though no doubt local residents might be quick to remind her about the strict policy against feeding them.

Schumer’s visit is the latest reminder that Mallorca continues to rank among Europe’s favourite celebrity playgrounds, attracting everyone from Hollywood stars and musicians to reality TV personalities and social media influencers.

Amy embraces Mallorca’s outdoor lifestyle

Best known for films including Trainwreck, I Feel Pretty and Snatched, Schumer appeared perfectly at home on the water as she explored Mallorca’s coastline by paddleboard.

The sport has become increasingly popular across the island, with visitors taking advantage of calm bays, hidden coves and crystal-clear seas. For celebrities seeking a combination of exercise, relaxation and privacy, it offers an ideal way to experience Mallorca away from the crowds.

While many stars choose luxury yachts or exclusive beach clubs, Schumer’s paddleboarding outing highlighted the island’s more natural appeal. Mallorca’s dramatic coastline, protected coves and warm summer temperatures continue to draw visitors looking to spend time outdoors.

Why celebrities love Mallorca

Mallorca’s relationship with the rich and famous stretches back decades.

The island has long attracted international visitors thanks to its combination of luxury accommodation, fine dining, picturesque villages and stunning landscapes. Celebrities can enjoy five-star hotels and exclusive villas while still finding secluded corners away from public attention.

Over the years, everyone from actors and musicians to royalty and sporting legends have chosen Mallorca as a summer retreat. Its accessibility, with direct flights from major cities across Europe and beyond, has only added to its popularity.

For tourism officials and businesses, celebrity visits provide a welcome boost. Images shared online by famous visitors often reach millions of followers, showcasing Mallorca to potential travellers around the world.

Megan McKenna joins the celebrity influx

Schumer wasn’t the only famous face enjoying Mallorca this week.

British television personality and singer Megan McKenna has also been spending time on the island with her family. The former The Only Way Is Essex star shared glimpses of her holiday with followers, revealing a more personal side of her life away from television cameras.

Her trip appeared focused on family time, with McKenna enjoying Mallorca’s beaches, outdoor lifestyle and laid-back atmosphere alongside her husband and young son. Perhaps she got some tips from her fellow reality stars Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright who are also famed for their love of the island (even naming their daughter Palma.)

The contrast between the two celebrity visits highlights Mallorca’s broad appeal. While Schumer embraced adventure on the water, McKenna’s holiday showcased the island’s reputation as one of Europe’s leading family-friendly destinations.

The list of famous faces continues

The celebrity spotlight on Mallorca is showing no signs of fading.

Among the latest gatherings attracting attention was an event at Hotel Corazon in Deià this week, one of the island’s most fashionable venues. Singer Pixie Lott was among the well-known guests attending, joining a growing list of personalities drawn to Mallorca’s luxury hospitality scene.

With Amy Schumer paddleboarding along the coast, Megan McKenna enjoying family time in the sunshine and stars gathering at exclusive events in Deià, Mallorca is once again proving why it remains firmly on the celebrity map.

As the summer season continues and more luxury openings, parties and events fill the calendar, the question now is simple: who will be the next famous face to be spotted on the island?

As temperatures rise across Mallorca, a growing number of residents and visitors are swapping beach bars for ice baths, embracing a wellness trend that combines intense heat with invigorating cold-water immersion. Nestled in the countryside near Bunyola, a weekly sauna and cold plunge experience is attracting those looking to reset both body and mind.

Heat, cold and the great reset

The Sunday Ice & Fire ritual, organised by Sauna Tramuntana, takes place in a peaceful finca setting just outside Palma. Participants move between a wood-fired outdoor sauna and a cold plunge, creating a cycle of heat and cold that supporters say leaves them feeling energised, refreshed and mentally clearer.

The two-hour sessions run every Sunday evening and are designed as small-group gatherings, creating a relaxed atmosphere that feels more community-focused than competitive. During the summer months, organisers place extra emphasis on the cold plunge experience, offering a welcome escape from Mallorca’s heat.

Why saunas have stood the test of time

While ice baths may be the latest wellness obsession, saunas have been used for centuries, particularly in Nordic countries where they remain a central part of everyday life.

Research has linked regular sauna use with a range of potential health benefits. The intense heat causes blood vessels to dilate, increasing circulation and creating a cardiovascular response similar to light exercise. Many sauna users report feeling deeply relaxed afterwards, thanks to the release of endorphins and the reduction of stress hormones.

Saunas are also popular among athletes and active individuals because they may help ease muscle tension and support recovery after exercise. The heat encourages muscles to relax, helping relieve stiffness and soreness.

Some studies have suggested that regular sauna use could contribute to improved heart health and lower blood pressure, although experts stress that saunas should complement – not replace – a healthy lifestyle.

The experience is equally valued for its mental benefits. Many people describe sauna sessions as a form of meditation, offering a rare opportunity to disconnect from phones, emails and daily distractions.

Why ice baths are booming

Cold-water immersion has surged in popularity worldwide over the past few years, fuelled by athletes, wellness influencers and growing public interest in recovery and resilience.

According to Sauna Tramuntana, participants are drawn by potential benefits including reduced muscle fatigue, improved circulation, increased energy levels and enhanced mental clarity. Sauna sessions are also associated with relaxation, stress reduction and the feeling of wellbeing many people experience after alternating between hot and cold temperatures.

The concept itself is hardly new. Nordic cultures have practised hot-and-cold rituals for generations, often combining traditional saunas with icy lakes, rivers or snow. Sauna Tramuntana’s founders were involved in community sauna projects in Oslo before bringing the concept to Mallorca, blending Scandinavian traditions with the island’s outdoor lifestyle.

A different side of Mallorca

While Mallorca is often associated with beaches, nightlife and luxury resorts, experiences such as these highlight the island’s growing wellness scene. From yoga retreats and sound healing events to mountain hikes and outdoor fitness gatherings, demand for health-focused activities continues to rise.

The Bunyola sessions take place in a natural setting surrounded by countryside, offering a quieter alternative to the island’s busier tourist hotspots. Participants are encouraged to bring swimwear, water and towels, before spending the evening moving between fire and ice under the Mallorcan sky.

At €25 per session, organisers say the experience is designed to be accessible, welcoming both first-timers and seasoned cold-plunge enthusiasts. As Mallorca heads into another long, hot summer, it seems that one of the coolest tickets on the island may involve deliberately getting very cold indeed.
