Choosing the right family holiday can be a stressful experience. The ideal location needs to have a mix of activities, attractions and relaxation that will keep all ages happy. Majorca, in the Balearic Islands, is one destination that is well used to providing that perfect balance. Boasting a Mediterranean climate, stunning coastlines, plenty of action and adventure and numerous family-orientated Majorca hotels, you can’t go wrong when you visit this island gem on your next family holiday. Below is a selection of top activities to get you going when you book your next holiday at one of the many hotels in Majorca:

Enjoy a safari experience
The magic of safari isn’t just confined to the depths of Africa – an auto-safari experience through Majorca’s beautiful nature reserve countryside offers you the chance to see giraffes, zebra and much more.

Make a splash at the waterparks
There is plenty of waterpark fun to be had in Majorca. The island is in fact home to one of the largest waterparks in Europe: Aqualand in El Arenal. As if that’s not enough, there is a sister Aqualand in Magalluf and a number of other parks waiting to be enjoyed across the island.

Explore mysterious caves
Be amazed by the wonders of nature with a trip to the mystical Cuevas de Drach – or Dragon Caves – located on the east coast of the island in Porto Cristo. Stand in awe of the exquisite rock formations as you explore the caves or take a boat trip on their underground lake.

Take a trip out to sea
Enjoy relaxation in the sun and deep sea exploration all at once when you take a trip in a glass-bottomed boat. There are many locations to set sail from, including various stops between Calas de Majorca and Cala Ratjada, for a sea adventure that all can enjoy.

Learn more about marine life
For a fun family day out visit one of Majorca’s highly recommended marine zoos. Regular dolphin, sea lion and exotic bird shows are on offer at Marineland in Calvia, or head to Playa de Palma where you can marvel at the 700 species of sea life on show at the Palma Aquarium.

Go crazy on the golf course
Majorca offers mini golf with a twist at ‘Golf Fantasia’ in Palma Nova. The park’s three tropical-themed 18 hole courses will offer hours of entertainment that the whole family can enjoy.

There are numerous opportunities for excitement and entertainment awaiting families in Majorca. There are some excellent deals on Majorca hotels at the moment as well, so you can be sure of top fun at affordable prices on your next family getaway.
