Where is Mallorca?

Mallorca, Spain: The perfect family holiday is waiting on the popular Balearic Island Of Mallorca.

The largest of the Balearic Island’s – and one of Spain’s most popular tourist destinations – Mallorca has earned itself a family-friendly reputation, and for good reason. It can be difficult pleasing every member of the family whilst on holiday, especially if there are young children and teenagers living in close proximity for a week or two, but there are plenty of Mallorca hotels that are designed to accommodate families of all ages and the island in general is geared up to meet a variety of needs. With countless blue flag beaches for teenagers to top up their tans, wild water parks for energetic children and cultural tours aplenty for the parents, there is something here to keep everyone happy.

For a full day’s entertainment and a great way to use up some of the kids’ boundless energy, a trip to a water park should be high on your agenda. Once the entrance fee has been paid, the facilities can be used as many times as desired. Western water park near Magalluf has to be the best family day out for all ages. There are slides, waterfalls and water facilities to suit all, and various shows running throughout the day for continuous entertainment.

Parents in need of some time to themselves, meanwhile, can leave the kids to enjoy their hotel’s day care facilities and consider a trip to the Caves of Drach. Located in picturesque Porto Cristo, this hidden gem is certainly worth exploration. Inside the caves you can find ceilings encrusted with stalactites and one of the world’s largest underground lakes, measuring 177 meters in length with varying depths of between 5 to 9 meters. Visitors are entertained with a concert performed by musicians aboard a small boat which slowly crosses the lake, offering a welcome cultural excursion for parents in need of rest and relaxation.
