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.
If you are staying in one of the many all-inclusive or family-friendly resorts on this island, then be sure to check out their list of children's activities, which often include dance, arts and crafts and sports clubs for children of all ages. But for those families wanting to escape the resort for a day or two, then read on.
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.
