Recommended destinations for holidays with kids 

When travelling with children, both proximity and the type of beach matter. Being close to the sea makes everyday life easier, while choosing safe, family‑friendly beaches brings invaluable peace of mind throughout the holiday. 

Our 4‑star hotels enjoy prime locations near some of Mallorca’s most beautiful— and most family‑approved—beaches, including: 

• Playa de Muro: the island’s longest beach and one of Mallorca’s top family favourites, with turquoise, shallow and calm waters plus a wide stretch of soft sand. 
• Playa d'Alcudia: more than 3 km of fine sand make it one of the most beloved beaches for families. Ideal for long days of water fun and relaxed family outings. 
• Can Picafort Beach: a comfortable, family‑friendly beach with crystal‑clear, safe waters and a lively promenade to enjoy at any time of day.
