Family and fun in Mallorca

The largest of the Balearic Islands is an ideal destination for the whole family and the best thing about it is that there are plenty of fun and sustainable things to do with children in Mallorca to have fun without leaving barely any environmental footprint. It's easy: the island offers a wide variety of activities that are as fun as they are environmentally friendly, allowing you to create unforgettable memories with your children while feeling like you're taking care of this beautiful island. 

Dare to explore its stunning coastline and hidden coves without harming the environment. How? Opt for sustainable water activities such as snorkelling or paddle surfing, ideal for immersing yourself in pristine waters while your environmental impact is zero. You can also join family kayaking excursions and discover sea caves and unspoilt corners, always under the supervision of local guides who are committed to marine conservation.

But let’s leave the sea behind for the moment. We propose an unforgettable plan: a visit to the impressive Coves del Drach in Porto Cristo. This experience will blow your imagination and you will feel like you have travelled to the centre of the earth. The incredible stalactite and stalagmite formations will leave you gobsmacked as you walk through the underground passages. Don't miss the light and music show in the underground lake. It's a unique experience for the whole family!

Yes, the time has come. It's time for your children to discover their first national park. There is only one in the Balearic Islands: the Cabrera Archipelago National Park, south of Mallorca. There you will discover white sandy coves, underwater caves, picturesque harbours, a botanical garden and even a museum, housed in a former wine cellar. 

Then from the coast, head to the mountains. Because in Mallorca, they are very close to one another, which makes it possible to alternate very different landscapes, even on the same day. So we suggest you add excitement to your trip and explore the Serra de Tramuntana in a wooden train. That's right! Immerse yourself in the historic charm of the railway as you travel through the island's spectacular scenery from Palma to Port de Sóller. Enjoy the adventure and the beautiful orange groves, a unique landscape that is sure to captivate you.

Sustainable resources for children

Discover the more sustainable side of Mallorca with environmental education workshops for children. The Balearic Ornithological Group (GOB) is a leading Balearic environmental association dedicated to promoting the study and protection of the islands' natural heritage. They offer a variety of naturalist activities, including workshops and volunteer opportunities. These activities are open to families and are a great way to get involved in environmental conservation.

Moreover, every corner of Mallorca hides fascinating tales waiting to be discovered. Stories passed down from generation to generation that have captivated Mallorcan children for years. We recommend you discover them as a family via the Illa dels Tresorsapp. Here, you will find routes designed especially for children that contain mysterious tales narrated in Catalan, Spanish and English. 

And, as always, when planning your holiday in Mallorca, remember to choose accommodation and tourism companies that are committed to sustainable and responsible practices. Your visit will be an opportunity to leave a positive mark on this beautiful Mediterranean destination. We look forward to receiving you with open arms!
