Why Travel Insurance Still Matters in Mallorca
EHIC helps, but travel insurance can cover gaps, repatriation and unexpected costs on a Mallorca holiday.
Published: April 22, 2026
Answer
Do I need travel insurance for a holiday in Mallorca?
Travel insurance is strongly recommended for Mallorca, even if you have a European Health Insurance Card. The EHIC can help with medically necessary treatment, but it does not cover every possible cost, and it is not a substitute for private insurance. Good travel insurance can also protect you if you need repatriation or have to pay upfront.
