The 20th of November is Universal Children's Day and what better way to celebrate it than enjoying a weekend with a difference with your family. And how about if we tell you that it's possible to find a hotel that is fun for the kids whilst also relaxing for adults? We know you want to switch off from the stresses and strains of everyday life and at the same time spend quality time with your loved ones.

It takes time to plan your next vacation whether it's for your December holiday, Easter or summer holidays. And that's where the benefits of staying in family friendly hotels. Travelling with kids doesn't need to be such a challenge if you find a hotel for kids ideal for families.

Choose convenience!

An all-inclusive hotel is very, very practical when travelling with children. For a start, you'll save time and money when looking for places to eat: our VIVA hotels that specialise in family friendly holidays and our hotels for kids have areas that especially serve the food that kids like, along with a wide range of buffet and a la carte options for adults. It's a far more certain option. And we also serve varied and traditional options to suit every taste and whim.

"I'm not hungry at the moment", "I don't fancy that", "I want something else"... we're sure this is what you're used to hearing when on a family holiday? An all-inclusive package is much more practical - because it includes a buffet which you can go to whenever you need to recharge your batteries, without worrying about extra cost or having to travel unnecessarily.

We, at VIVA Hotels, know that when it comes to family vacations, time is of the essence if you are to enjoy all the things you've planned. That's why our family friendly hotels in Mallorca include all these services - so that you feel at home in your second home.

At our VIVA Blue & SPA, VIVA Sunrise, Cala Mesquida Resort & SPA and VIVA Eden Lago Hotel, you'll find all the fun the family needs. It's where you'll find everything you need to make sure that your next family vacation is the best it can be.

Holidays with the kids? Yes - but with something for everyone to enjoy!

 

Who said it's the kids who are going to have all the fun? At VIVA Hotels we've designed everything so that both adults and children can have fun.

Adults will be able to take some time out to relax, confident that their little ones are having a great time, sharing and being creative together. At our family friendly hotels, the activities you'll find include:

• Entertainment all day long: our mascot BUFO is the heart and soul of our hotels. In addition to spending time with the kids during the day, they will meet again in the evenings at our incredible Min Disco show, which kids get super excited about.
  
  
• Pirate Ship: we know that children's energy levels seem inexhaustible. So we've got a water park with swimming pools, a pirate ship and slides so that they can build their own adventures. The size and depth of the pools are ideal for ensuring that the kids are super safe and can move about and play without need to worry.
  
  
• VIVA Circus: you almost certainly have an artist in your home and don't yet know it! So, we want you to discover that talented person... This is why our VIVA Sunrise Hotel has a space where you can become a circus artist and explore your creativity. We put on magic performances where your kids can be the stars.
  
  
• VIVA Kids Only Club: for kids aged 4 to 11. We put on different activities every day that your children can take part in as well as creating their own adventures in spaces specially designed for them.
  
  
• Sports activities: if you're into adventure and adrenaline, you should know that we are lovers of sport too, and we sponsor a lot of this type of event. We have cycling stations so that you can stay in touch with your athletic soul. And if you're someone who is passionate about swimming, at our Hotel VIVA Blue & SPA you'll love our semi-Olympic pool.
  
  
• Paradise Beaches: our hotels are located very close to Mallorca's very best beaches. So you can easily enjoy a fun beach day. Leave the pram or pushchair at the hotel and take only what you need, safe in the knowledge that your belongings are safe and just a few minutes from the beach. This is a great help to people with babies, as they avoid the hassle of having to carry everything from one place to another. 

We recommend that when you go to the beach with small children, you just take the essentials with you:

- Inflatable pool for the little ones.
- Bottles that you can refill with fresh water to drink and wash your hands.
- A mat and a pair of towels.
- Enough nappies to get down to the beach, sleep and come back. For the rest of the time, letting them run free will be much better for everyone.
- Taking a baby carrier with you is much more practical than taking the pushchair.

Were you starting to think that we'd forgotten about you?

At our Blue & SPA Hotel and VIVA Cala Mesquida Resort & SPA Hotel, you get that time for relaxation that you so need. Rest assured you won't want to leave. And best of all: you can schedule your massages and treatments while your children are having fun.

Of course, a family holiday wouldn't make sense if it didn't include activities for all of you to enjoy together. In Mallorca, you'll find an incredible experience for the whole family, just 15 minutes away from our VIVA Cala Mesquida Resort & SPA Hotel  at Balearic Islands Ballooning. This is a hot air balloon ride where you can wonder at the best views of Mallorca.

Kids love ballooning and you certainly will too. It's a very safe ride and if you book your tickets in time you'll get to see the most beautiful sunsets. Flying over the island and looking in wonder at the Mediterranean's shades of blue, the orange sunsets and green nature... it's a party for all your senses.

Our hotels are located in Cala Mesquida, Puerto de Alcudia and Playa de Muro 3 of the quietest areas of Mallorca. The heavenly views won't let you down. And nor will the fun. Don't miss the holiday offers we have for you, so that your getaway with the kids is an unforgettable experience for the whole family.
