Choosing the right family holiday can be a daunting task. The ideal location needs to have a mix of activities, attractions and relaxation that will keep all ages happy. Majorca, in the Balearic Islands, is one destination that is well used to providing that perfect balance. Boasting a Mediterranean climate, stunning coastlines, plenty of action and adventure and numerous family-orientated Majorca hotels, you can’t go wrong when you visit this island gem on your next family holiday. Below is a selection of top activities to get you going when you book your next holiday at one of the many hotels in Majorca:

Enjoy a safari experience
You don’t have to head to the depths of Africa to experience the magic of safari – see giraffes, zebra and much more when you go on an auto-safari through Majorca’s beautiful countryside and wander around its nature reserve enclosures.

Make a splash at the waterparks
Majorca offers numerous opportunities for waterpark fun. The island is in fact home to one of the largest waterparks in Europe: Aqualand in El Arenal. And if that’s not enough, there is a sister Aqualand in Magalluf – not to mention a number of other parks just waiting to be explored across the island.

Explore mysterious caves
Explore the wonders of nature with a trip to the mystical Cuevas de Drach – or Dragon Caves – in Porto Cristo on the east coast of Majorca. Stand in awe of the exquisite rock formations as you explore the caves or take a boat trip on their underground lake.

Take a trip out to sea
Enjoy relaxation in the sun and deep sea exploration all at once when you take a trip in a glass-bottomed boat. Set sail from a number of different locations, including various stops between Calas de Majorca and Cala Ratjada, for an adventure everyone will enjoy.

Learn more about marine life
For great family fun visit one of Majorca’s top marine zoos. Take a trip to Marineland in Calvia for dolphin, sea lion and exotic bird shows, or visit the Palma Aquarium in Playa de Palma to see the stunning selection of sea life on offer.

Go crazy on the golf course
Visit ‘Golf Fantasia’ in Palma Nova for mini golf with a twist. This tropical-themed park has three 18 hole courses to keep the whole family entertained for hours on end.

Majorca has plenty of excitement and entertainment that is perfect for all the family. To make sure you get maximum enjoyment, there are some fantastic deals on Majorca hotels as well, so your next great family break could be just around the corner.
