Family accommodation in Mallorca<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\nWhen you\u2019re planning your holiday or that much-needed break, you need to find a hotel where your kids can feel at home (and where mum and dad can relax!). There is, of course, lots of choice, ranging from small, family-run hotels to those within a theme park. Here are a couple of suggestions, both of which I\u2019ve enjoyed with the family:<\/p>\n
\n- Meli\u00e1 Sol Katmandu Park & Resort<\/a><\/a><\/li>\n
- Mar Hotels Playa de Muro<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Things to do as a family in Mallorca<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\nLet\u2019s start with an adventure that both kids and adults will enjoy. How would you like to take a journey into the past on a train and a tram constructed at the beginning of the 20th<\/sup> century? If you like the sound of this, then the Train to S\u00f3ller<\/strong><\/a> is sure to be a great option. It runs almost all year round (closed from December to February) and is a fun alternative to the beach. <\/p>\n![\"tranvia](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/foto-1-1-tranvia.jpg?resize=619%2C1024&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\nIf you travel to the east of the island, to Manacor to be precise, you can enjoy the underground experience of visiting the Hams Caves<\/strong><\/a>, a geological wonder with a history dating back millions of years; or if you prefer the giant creatures of the past, step into the world of dinosaurs at Dinosaurland<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n![\"cuevas](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/foto-2-cuevas-dels-hams.jpg?resize=640%2C360&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\nWe continue our journey of discovery of the best activities for children in Mallorca as we reach the town of Capdepera<\/strong>, where there\u2019s a medieval castle<\/a>; here, the younger ones will be taken back to the period of King James I who, from this very fortress, prepared for the conquest of Menorca, then in the hands of the Moors. The castle is open all year round, so there\u2019s no excuse not to visit!<\/p>\nFrom Capdepera the town of Alcudia<\/strong> in just half an hour away. There\u2019s lots to see, enjoy and discover here: culture, beaches and all the fun of a water park. For history lovers, we\u2019d recommend a walk around the ancient city walls, taking the younger ones (and the not so young) back to a bygone age, as if they were keeping watch over these walls. <\/p>\nAnd as you\u2019re on a stroll, make sure you pop in to helados Garrido<\/a>, for one of the best ice creams to be had in Mallorca. A real treat!<\/p>\n![\"helados](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/foto-3--helados-garrido.jpg?resize=553%2C1024&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\nNow it\u2019s time to get in the car and go to the Sa Bassa Blanca<\/strong><\/a> museum<\/strong>, a wonderful space dedicated to art, nature and architecture. Just wait for the look on your children\u2019s faces as they walk around a giant kraken (a legendary sea monster) in the natural setting!<\/p>\n![\"museo](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/foto-4--museo-sa-bassa-blanca.jpg?resize=640%2C831&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\nWeather permitting, a family holiday in Mallorca obviously has to include the beach. Of the dozens of stunning coves that make the island such a natural paradise, we recommend visiting Playa de Muro<\/strong>, ranking among the best in the world in 2023. Over seven kilometres of fine sands, crystal-clear waters and all the facilities required for families. If you feel like exploring more sun & sand options, you can read our article on the 10 beaches in Mallorca to enjoy as a family<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"playa](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/foto-5--playa-de-muro.jpg?resize=640%2C288&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\nIf you prefer a water park, then there are three that I would suggest, open May to October:<\/p>\n
\n- HidroPark<\/a> in Alcudia<\/li>\n
- Western Water Park<\/a> in Calvi\u00e0 <\/li>\n
- Aqualand El Arenal<\/a> in Lluchmajor <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
What to do in Mallorca as a family when it rains<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\nDon\u2019t worry if you wake up to grey skies; there are also some interesting things to do with the kids when the sun is nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n
My first suggestion would be Palma Aquarium<\/strong><\/a>. An ideal indoor activity that\u2019s a fun way of learning about the seas, the oceans and all the creatures that inhabit them. The aquarium actually plays an important role in raising awareness of marine habitats, as well as in protecting and preserving them.<\/p>\n![\"palma](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/foto-6--palma-aquarium.jpg?resize=640%2C427&ssl=1\")
<\/figure>\nAnother great experience to enjoy as a family is everything that Caixaforum Palma<\/strong><\/a> has to offer. This comprehensive cultural centre has a huge range of activities and exhibitions for the whole family. I\u2019ve taken my children to a few exhibitions there and it\u2019s amazing how captivating they find it and how it introduces them to culture. A couple of examples: a journey through the Ice Age, featuring a spectacular mammoth fossil, and an introduction to modernism through artists such as the Catalan painter Anglada Camarasa. <\/p>\n![\"edificio](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/foto-7--caixaforum.jpeg?resize=640%2C392&ssl=1\")
