Fun activities for families in Majorca

By Elvis Pulcella


Many of the 6 million tourists who flock to the Balearic island of Majorca every year are families, all looking for ways to entertain the children for a week or two. Luckily, Majorca offers more than just sun, sea and sand and as well provides many fun and varied activities the whole family can enjoy.

Most families opt to stay in one of the island's all-inclusive or family-friendly resorts, where on offer are usually a wide range of dance, arts and crafts and sports clubs that children of all ages can enjoy. But with so much on offer on the island, it's nice to escape the confines of the resort for a day or two.

This Mediterranean island is well known for its many water parks including Aquapark Magaluf and Aqualandia Water Park which all boast an excellent selection of slides, chutes and pools to keep the family amused for a whole day. WesternPark Water Park Magaluf also offers jacuzzis which parents might take advantage of after a long day watching the kids. There is also Marineland where families can watch bottlenose dolphin and sealion shows, take a walk through the underwater tunnel as well as take a ride on a mock pirate ship.

Go underwater without getting wet in one of Nemo Submarine's 2-hour submarine tours, or choose to stay on land and visit Auto Safari; the island's safari park where kids can see some 'wild' giraffes, zebras and monkeys. There's also plenty of fun to be had at the Palma Nova Golf Fantasia, a 3-course mini golf park where you can spend the day before having a bite to eat at their 19th-hole caf!

A family holiday simply wouldn't be complete, however, without a day on the beach. The beaches on the east and south of the island get the best weather, and are therefore the most popular, offering glorious beaches and clear waters children can enjoy. Families can even let their imaginations run wild by exploring one of the hidden caves located around the island.
