Essential requirements for the best hotels for children in Mallorca

Mallorca is one of the most popular family tourism destinations on the Iberian Peninsula. Its climate, beaches, beautiful surroundings and choice of theme parks make our island a perfect place to spend a great relaxing holiday with your children.

One of the things that most concerns parents when they travel with their children is to ensure they find the right type of accommodation. In addition to having large rooms, their most common requests are that the hotels offer safe facilities aimed specifically at children, with large green areas, swimming pools, parks, and areas such as libraries or games rooms.

When we travel with children, it’s important to find a place where they’ll have a great time, but it’s equally important for the parents to be able to relax as well.

Hotels for children in Mallorca: 6 essential requirements 

If you’re thinking of travelling to Mallorca in the near future, we recommend that you take a look at this list of essential requirements for hotels for children.

1. Pool

As our island boasts pleasant temperatures nearly all year round, we highly recommend that you look for hotels for children in Mallorca with swimming pools. 

Normally, hotels for families have pools divided into areas for adults and children.  Some even have themed slides or splash areas where the kids will have so much fun!  

2. A variety of activities

Keeping the kids amused is essential on family holidays, and that’s why many hotels for children in Mallorca have board games, video games, pool, table football, table tennis, and many other activities. Especially in the summer, these hotels organise activities such as children's cinema, storytelling workshops, face painting, music, crafts or dances for children to tap into their artistic side.

3. Sports facilities

Sports facilities are essential in family hotels. We’re not talking about gyms, which are generally more for adults, but rather football pitches, basketball courts, tennis courts or mini golf courses.  Playing sport as a family is a great idea when you’re on holiday, but it’s also good for your children to have fun socialising with kids of their own age. In addition to this, some hotels even rent out bikes or sports equipment, such as rackets, surfboards, etc.

4. Entertainment programmes

Hotel entertainment in hotels for children can be a decisive factor in the choice of accommodation. Children's entertainers are experienced in keeping kids amused with competitions, drama, or magic shows, allowing adults to unwind and enjoy some peace and quiet.

5. Food for kids

Holidays are usually all about fun, but we can't ignore other important aspects such as food. This is one of the reasons why some parents find it a real headache to be away from their homes. 

When looking for hotels for children in Mallorca, we recommend that you choose one that has its own on-site restaurant. In fact, family hotels usually offer a buffet that makes choosing food so much easier, even showcooking where they prepare special dishes for children, guaranteeing healthy, well-balanced nutrition.

6. Location

The hotel you choose for your stay in Mallorca should ideally be near the beach or other natural areas, as you’ll be able to go out walking, as well as enjoying lots of fun water activities. Besides that, contact with nature helps children to develop a greater respect for the environment from an early age.
