Fun family activities in Majorca

By Elvis Pulcella


Majorca, the biggest of the Balearic Islands, sees 6 million tourists every year, the majority of them families. Looking to entertain their children for a week or two, families head to this island not just for sun, sea and sand, but also for the range of fun activities that can keep the whole family entertained.

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.

For something extra special, check out submarine tours available from Nemo Submarines. But for those who have not quite yet got their sea legs, then check out the dry Auto Safari where kids can get close to the likes of giraffes, zebras and monkeys. Palma Nova Golf Fantasia offers 3 fun mini-golf courses, ideal for all ages, and there's even a 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.
