Mallorca Family Holidays & Breaks

Take the Family is a travel agency specialising in active, adventure and luxury holidays. Your personal travel advisor will create the perfect Mallorca holiday for your family, with expert advice and dedicated support throughout.

Mallorca for family holidays

Served by frequent flights, and with dozens of safe sandy beaches plus spectacular scenery, Mallorca is a brilliant destination for family holidays with all ages. Most visitors confine themselves to rowdy Malaguf, leaving the rest of the island to the more discerning.

Book a Mallorca holiday with Take the Family and discover that the largest of the four main Balearic islands is small in size (taking less than two hours to drive across) but big on charm and beauty, with plenty of family-friendly modern hotels and resorts – many with kids' pools and entertainment to keep little ones amused. And as just about everywhere else in Spain, locals are extremely friendly to kids.

As a specialist family travel agency, we can tailor-make the perfect holiday in Mallorca for your family. Contact one of our travel advisors now and let's discuss your dream trip.

Things to do with kids in Mallorca

Mallorca Best Beaches and Watersports

• Discover fantastic beaches, from Es Trenc in the south to Formentor in the north. If you’re averse to getting wet, glass-bottomed boats will take you out for a closer look at what’s lurking beneath the waves.

• Choose a whole raft of activities on Mallorca’s beaches, including sailing, paragliding, water-skiing, body-surfing and good old-fashioned sailing.

• At Puerto Pollenca (one of our favourite beaches), while away the hours watching sandcastle-building take on epic proportions as pros practise their art.

• Watch one of the Bay of Palma’s many prestigious regattas, including the Trofeo SAR Princesa Sofía and the Copa del Rey, which make for a great family day out. 

• Head for one of the Mallorca’s waterparks: Western Water Park and Aqualand El Avenal are two of the best.

Mallorca Days Out and Attractions

• Explore Palma, Mallorca’s vibrant, beautiful capital with its pedestrianised winding lanes and alleyways. 

• From Palma, ride the rickety old Sóller Train to Sóller itself.

• Take a trip to Rancho Grande in Son Serra – a working ranch where all abilities can get in the saddle for trail or beach rides or ride a wagon that follows the trek at an easy pace. There also live music, equestrian shows and a grill restaurant. 

• Book a hot-air balloon flight from a launch site close to Manacor – a great way to see the Balearic Islands. 

• Take in the Pirates Adventure Mallorca, featuring jaw-dropping, gravity-defying gymnastic feats. 

• Browse local goods at a market – the ones are Santa Maria and Pollenca are fabulous.

Eating in Mallorca

Food in Mallorca includes authentic Spanish dishes based on rice, vegetables and fresh seafood, including tapas. It’s lovely to sit in a square late into the night watching the world go by – the Spanish bring their kids out late to eat with them. Resorts and hotels also offer lots of British and Western favourites.

When to go to Mallorca

The best time to go Mallorca is just outside of the high season (July and August), when everything will still be open but the crowds will be halved. The chance of decent weather between May and October is high, with the sea warmer in September and October than in May and June. These months are ideal for holidays with pre-schoolers, or for those looking for May or October half-term destinations.
