How I Choose the Best Family Hotels in Mallorca
My selection is based on my own experiences and the feedback from many families who have shared their stories with me over the years. I only recommend family hotels in Mallorca where I would personally stay with my own children. I focus on two main criteria: the facilities and service provided by the hotel, as well as the location and leisure options available in the surrounding area.
What I Look for in a Good Family Hotel
- Children’s Beds: High-quality travel cribs with proper mattresses or fully equipped crib beds.
- Hygiene Products: Changing mats, potty chairs, or toilet seat adapters are provided.
- Meals: Highchairs, child-friendly dishes and cutlery, as well as kid-friendly meal options in the restaurants.
- Play Opportunities: Age-appropriate amenities such as playgrounds, playhouses, kids’ clubs, or children’s pools.
Why Location Matters for Families
- Proximity to the Beach: A clean, child-friendly beach with shaded areas, play spaces, and safe water access. Many hotels are within walking distance of the beach or located directly by the sea.
- Leisure Activities: Nearby attractions, promenades, family-friendly restaurants, and sports activities. There’s plenty to explore outside the hotels as well.
- Accessibility: A manageable travel time from Palma Airport—no long, exhausting drives.
