Are You Traveling to Mallorca with Children? This Interests You

We know you love spending time with your children. Watching them grow and discover the world around them is priceless. But… we have to admit that there are moments that can get complicated, and one of them is the holidays.

In the end, finding a place that can keep both children and adults entertained is a challenge. That’s why, at Rentallorca, we are sure that our island is the perfect option. Next, we’ll tell you everything you need to know if you are going to travel to Mallorca with children. Write down these activities and tips so you can have a great time!

Do You Already Know all these Free Activities for Families?

The great cultural offer that Mallorca offers you ranges from visiting castles, exploring its gardens, to the possibility of participating in local fairs and markets.

The visit to Bellver Castle in Palma is one of the cultural activities that you have to do if you are going with the children of the family, since it is free for children under 14 and on Sundays it is free for everyone. A good idea is to combine the visit with a picnic in one of its nearby parks and let the views of the area do the rest.

Another of the most special cultural offers is exploring the gardens of the Marivent Palace, perfect if you like to walk and discover sculptures by Joan Miró, which will arouse the curiosity of even the youngest ones. Access is totally free and it is ideal if you fancy a different plan within the island’s offer.

You can also discover the Son Real public estate in the north, with trails, animals and the Talayotic Necropolis. It is an educational experience, but also very entertaining for the little ones, in addition to having free admission for children of all ages.

Finally, you can encourage yourself to participate in local fairs and markets in towns in the center and east of the island. Here children (and adults, of course) can get closer to know the typical and traditional products.

Visit these Parks and Play Areas to Keep Them Entertained

In case the children get bored, there is no need to worry, since Mallorca also has parks and play areas to suit the bravest.

Palma and the main towns have numerous playgrounds and green areas where to run, play and, above all, get tired. The surroundings of Bellver Castle and the Parc de la Mar in Palma are the best known play areas.

Obviously, many of the hotels and resorts in Alcúdia, Sa Coma and Cala Ratjada also have water parks and private play areas for children. The S’Albufera Natural Park, near Alcúdia, offers simple routes in the middle of nature to be able to observe birds and enjoy the panoramic views of the area.

These are the Best Museums and Educational Centers on the Island

Beyond games, fairs and activities for all tastes, going with children is also a great opportunity to give space to culture. In Mallorca you have plenty of offers in this area:

CaixaForum Palma organizes workshops, shows and all kinds of educational activities for children and families, including guided tours of exhibitions adapted to the little ones. Also, the Museum of Spanish Contemporary Art and the Joan March Foundation are free of charge and bring you cultural proposals designed for the whole family.

On the other hand, in the center and east of the island, you have the Caves of Drach and the Caves dels Hams that will be an unforgettable experience for them, as they will learn basic concepts of geology and history of the area, all seasoned with light and sound shows. Sounds good, doesn’t it?

Be Sure to Visit these Beaches Adapted for Children

In case you are concerned about the safety of children on the beaches, you have no reason to be afraid, since there are several areas adapted for them that guarantee their fun without going through hardships.

The Playa de Muro and Alcúdia, located in the north, are two of the most recommended beaches for families traveling with children. Both stand out for their extension of fine golden sand, their shallow and calm waters for the safety of the little ones. They have a wide range of services and the presence of lifeguards and shaded areas, but don’t forget the sunscreen!

On the east coast, you will find Cala Millor and Sa Coma, beaches appreciated for their family atmosphere and a safe environment for children. Both offer fine sand, perfect for building castles, and transparent waters. Nearby you can find playgrounds and play areas, as well as promenades and ice cream parlors to have a perfect day.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca is Es Trenc, famous for its natural environment and a very relaxed atmosphere. It has white sand and turquoise waters that transport you to the Caribbean beaches, and a gentle slope that makes it safe for families with children. It has toilets and beach bars, and its virgin character invites you to enjoy nature and tranquility as a family.

Write down these Tips for Traveling with Children

When traveling to Mallorca with children, we recommend choosing family accommodations that are located in quiet areas and well connected, such as Alcúdia, Sa Coma, Portocolom or Cala Ratjada. These places are easy to access, and have supermarkets and medical services, which will help you to be calm during your stay.

Another tip is not to forget the sunscreen , put a hat on the children and drink enough water, since the Mallorcan sun is very intense in summer and you will not want a sunstroke, but enjoy all the outdoor activities.

Take advantage of all the cultural offer by visiting the local markets and fairs, where the little ones will discover the Mallorcan culture first-hand. You can also try the traditional products, which is an excellent opportunity to integrate into local life and encourage the curiosity of the little ones.

Finally, be sure to enjoy everything that Mallorca offers, so we recommend alternating beach days with activities in nature, such as routes or bike rides. This way, you can share unique moments a little further away from all the hustle and bustle.

Enjoy Mallorca as a Family with the Best Accommodation

At this point, you have surely realized that Mallorca is much more than sun and beach. It is an island full of culture, nature and a wide range of activities. No matter what plan you choose, whether you have a beach day, a day in nature or go to one of its markets, the island will give you a good dose of fun for the whole family.
