Majorca is an incredible destination for a family getaway! We visited in October 2015 and absolutely fell in love with the island. Even years later, I still talk about returning to explore more of what it has to offer.

With endless activities, beautiful beaches, and family-friendly attractions, Majorca is perfect for keeping kids entertained. In this travel guide, I’ll share the places we visited, as well as the must-see spots we plan to check out on our next trip. Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or cultural experiences, Majorca has something for every family.

Mini-Guide to Majorca with Kids

How to get there

Palma airport is the only airport on Majorca. There are countless airlines that fly there so you shouldn’t be short of options. If you check out the Palma airport website then you can see which airlines are used. You can also catch a ferry to Palma from mainland Spain, Barcelona and Valencia being the most popular ports.

Getting around

If like us, you booked a package deal with a company like Thomson’s then more than likely you would have a transfer included. Even once at your hotel, you don’t necessarily need to have a car as the public transport system is cheap and easy to use. We used buses for the duration of our holiday. For days out we used a company called No Frills Excursions, they were professional and the tours we took were very good. However, if you wanted to hire a car then there are many hire car places available in the bigger touristy towns.

 

Where to stay

During our trip to Majorca, we stayed at Alcudia Pins, near Playa de Muro. While it was a decent base for exploring, we probably wouldn’t stay there again. Next time, I’d likely opt for a villa to have more space and a bit more flexibility for our family.

Majorca has a wide range of accommodation options, so finding somewhere to stay shouldn’t be an issue. If you want to be close to amenities and tourist attractions, Alcudia and Port de Pollença are two of the most popular destinations. Both offer beautiful beaches, family-friendly restaurants, and plenty of activities to keep kids entertained.

Dining Options in Majorca with Kids

If you’re staying near the hotel we stayed in then we found dining options outside the hotel can be quite limited. However, if you’re on a package holiday with meals included, this might not be an issue, as most people tend to have their evening meals at the hotel.

During our trip, we were on an all-inclusive plan, so we only ate out at lunchtimes. I found there were plenty of options, especially in the larger towns like Alcudia and Port de Pollença, where you’ll find a mix of family-friendly restaurants, cafés, and local eateries. If you prefer more dining variety, staying closer to these areas might be a good idea.

What to Do

There are plenty of things to do in Majorca with kids. Many we didn’t get a chance to do. Remember to get out of your hotel and explore. There is more to do on holiday than just stay in a hotel!

Marineland

We did an excursion to Marineland and it was a good day out, however it is rather small which meant we have finished everything with over 2 hours to spare before our pick up time.  The main marina is a short walk away and is well worth exploring.

Palma Aquarium

Another excursion we did while on holiday and we had a blast. There was so much to see and I really enjoyed that each tank had a screen with an English translation. Great for kids of all ages.

Soller Train and Tram

If you love the scenery and your kids love trains then make sure you check out Soller. The old train and trams are such a great sight to see and it is a journey that is well worth it. 13 tunnels that wind through the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range is an experience you have to do. I would do it again when we visit Majorca again.

Alcudia and Port de Pollensa

Alcudia old town is a lovely place to visit. Exploring the old town where you can walk some of the old walls is really good. My eldest son enjoyed exploring the old streets. If you have time head down to the Port as there are some really nice boats which will keep most of the family entertained.

The Beach

There are plenty of beaches for you to go to. We stayed in a hotel right on the Playa de Muro beach. It is a nice sandy beach, however, it was busy. I’m not really a beach person, so we hardly ever spend time on the beach.

Palma and Bellver Castle

Two places we never visited on our trip, however, these two will be on our list of places to explore when we go back. Palma looks a great city to explore with some lovely old buildings to look at. I love to visit castles when we go on holiday. So Bellver Castle would be a great choice for us to go see.

Formentor Lighthouse

Now getting to the lighthouse is my idea of hell (windy roads and I do not mix!) However just to see the views and the lighthouse, I would hope would be worth it. This part of the island is supposed to be amazing so we would love to go visit on our next trip.

Visit a cave

We were going to be a day trip to the caves of Drach, however, we didn’t have enough days to fit it in. There is also Cuevas de Arta which from what I have heard are not as touristy as Caves of Drach and cheaper. They both look amazing so I’m sure we would do one of them.

I’m sure there are also other places to visit so keep coming back as I will update the mini guide if we visit other great places in Majorca with my boys.

Family Friendly?

I would say Majorca is great for all ages. My boys loved it and so did we. It is very family-friendly and the locals seem very friendly too. We took the pram and the carrier and found no problems when out and about. Lindsay from Newcastle Family Life has a great post on reasons why Majorca is a great family holiday destination, so head over for a read.
