In this corner of the Mediterranean you can find from natural spaces of great beauty to castles that will allow your children to let their imagination run wild. If you plan to travel to Mallorca as a family this summer, we recommend that you be very attentive, as we are going to talk to you about some interesting plans that you can do with the little ones in the house. Can you come with us?
Beaches
Of course, one of the best plans you can do with children in Mallorca is to go to the beach. The good thing is that this Balearic island has many sandy areas perfect for the smallest of the house, that is, sandy, shallow in its initial section, full of services, with access for carts, with a nearby parking area … We can highlight the beach of Es Trenc, Sant Elm, S’Arenal Gran and S’Arenal Petit, Cala Santanyi, Cala Ratjada, Cala Millor or Playa de Muro .
Theme parks
In Mallorca you will also find a great variety of theme parks. Logically, the most successful in summer are the aquatic ones, such as Aqualand, Western Park or Hidropark. Of course, it is also worth visiting Marineland , where the little ones can discover dolphins, sharks, sea lions, exotic birds, reptiles, penguins … And if your children do not get tired of seeing animals, you can always visit the Zoo Natural Park.
S’Albufera Natural Park
If your children like nature, it may be a great idea to organize an excursion to the Albufera Natural Park, where guided tours are offered. Children will enjoy and learn a lot about flora and fauna. Of course, it is best to avoid very hot or sunny days. In addition, we recommend that you bring sun protection and supplies.
Castles
Your children will surely also love visiting the castles that the island hides. Not only will they learn a little about history, but they will be able to let their imaginations run wild. Many of them, such as the emblematic Bellver Castle in Palma, are preserved in perfect condition. The Santueri Castle and the Castillo d’Alaró are also worth a visit.
Coves del Drach
A visit to the famous Coves del Drach could not be missing from this list. Located in Manacor, they are impressive and ideal to stimulate the imagination of the smallest of the house. In addition, they will hallucinate with stalactites and stalagmites, especially if they have never seen them. Of course, we only recommend this visit if you do not bring a stroller, as there are stairs and other obstacles.
Sóller train
A plan that your children will love will be to travel on the Tren de Sóller, a beautiful wooden railway that has been connecting Sóller with Palma de Mallorca since 1912. During the 27 kilometers of route you will be able to enjoy the landscapes of the Serra de Tramuntana, declared a World Heritage Site.
Tour the Sierra de la Tramuntana by jeep
Another interesting way to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings of the Sierra de la Tramuntana is to tour it by jeep . There are several companies that offer this type of excursion. Of course, in most of these excursions you will be accompanied by professional guides
Catamaran ride
Finally, we want to suggest that you reserve a few hours of your trip for a catamaran ride. Of course, in this case there are also many companies that offer this type of excursion . In addition, some of them allow you to take refreshing dips in the middle of the sea.
