Things to Do in Majorca with Kids

1. Palma Cathedral

The Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca (commonly referred to by locals as La Seu) is a Gothic masterpiece, and Majorca’s most iconic building.

Visitors can indeed discover its fascinating history, dating back to the 14th century, as you wander around its cavernous, ornate  interiors.

La Seu has been dubbed “The Cathedral of Light” thanks to its 61 stained glass windows, including the enormous central rose window, crafted from over 1,200 pieces of glass.

While you’re in the capital you may also want to take the bus up to Castell de Bellver, a 14th-century circular castle with a unique round tower, that perches on a hill above the capital.

The ground floor has a museum whilst the empty upper chambers are perfect for kids peering out and running around.

6. Beach Hopping

One of the main reasons families come to Majorca is for its hundreds of beautiful beaches. Whether you want tiny hidden coves to discover by sea kayak or long stretches of sand for sunbathing, you’re sure to find it here.

Almost all the beaches boast calm waters and soft sand, so they’re perfect for young families who want to swim, paddle, snorkel and relax. 

Three of our favourite beach areas are below:

Cala d’hor : There are seven beaches to pick from in this pretty area, so you can try several in one day… or all of them! Cala Gran is the largest strip of sand, while the pine-fringed Cala d’Or is one of the best looking.

Puerto Pollensa – A firm favourite with families, this sheltered sand and shingle bay is backed by the Tramuntana Mountains. There’s a smart marina lined with restaurants and pretty cobbled backstreets lined with shops and cafés.

Calas de Mallorca – You can walk from one beach to the next along the palm-lined coastal road in Calas de Mallorca. The most popular beach is Cala Domingo Gran, though this can get busy, so head to the more peaceful Cala Domingo Petit or Cala Antena if you want a quieter afternoon. The kids will love the mini train which runs between the beaches..

7. La Reserva Puig de Galatzó

This amazing nature reserve deep in the Tramuntana Mountains is a bit off the beaten path (arrival is via some very bumpy roads!) but you will be rewarded with stunning views of waterfalls, woodland and wildlife. 

Visitors can walk the 3.5 km loop which winds past the beautiful scenery, and the kids will be delighted when you come across the various roaming wildlife such as peacocks to goats.

There are even some resident bears who are safely shielded from the public by a fence, but free to roam in the acres of forest.

Additional entertainment includes bird of prey displays, a children’s playground and opportunities for adventure sports such as rock climbing and zip wires.

Majorca’s calm waters make it easy for kids to try some easy watersports like sailing or stand up paddle boarding.

I have to admit that watching dolphins and other marine mammals in semi captivity for the pleasure of humans is probably a thing of the past. However looking at the recent reviews, it seems that the place is very well maintained and animals look healthy (I wouldn’t dare to say happy, how do we know?)

At the Marineland Majorca, you can see different shows with parrots or sea lions. But the best one not to miss is with dolphins.

You can even book a personal experience with dolphins or penguins.

Good news, the Marineland is open all year round but check their website to see which days are open in the winter.
