Best Places to Stay in Mallorca for Families by Neighborhood
With Mallorca’s varied landscape, travelers have a variety of options when it comes to where to stay. While the island is beloved for its beautiful beaches, Mallorca has plenty to offer beyond the typical resort scene.
The breathtaking Tramuntana mountain towns, for instance, offer families a peaceful escape away from the typical tourist tracks.
Here’s a look at the best Majorcan neighborhoods for families – and accompanying hotels that offer cribs upon request – from the southeast to the northwest.

Cala d’Or
Highlights for Families in Cala d’Or:
- Tons of cove-like sandy beaches with calm water
- Large variety of family-friendly restaurants
- Plenty of family hotels
Cala d’Or is easily one of the best places to stay in Mallorca for families. In fact, I wrote a whole separate post on the top family hotels in Cala d’Or for that very reason! (Be sure to check out that guide when you’re ready to narrow down your accommodations.)
This popular resort town is chock-full of beaches, from under-the-radar coves to sprawling sandy beaches.
There’s also a huge variety of family-friendly restaurants to choose from located right in the heart of town.

Top Recommended Family Hotels in Cala D’Or
Luxury: Meliá Cala d’Or Boutique Hotel
I couldn’t have asked for a better first-hotel experience to have with my family than the one we enjoyed at Meliá Cala d’Or Boutique Hotel.

Between the lovely pool set within an idyllic garden oasis (with a separate swim area for the littles), the on-site playground, and the high chairs/cribs offered at no additional charge, it’s one of the best choices for a family getaway in Cala d’Or.
In fact, we saw so many other parents during our stay here – some with children even younger than our six-month-old daughter!
Mid-Range: Alua Suites Las Rocas
Alua Suites Las Rocas is a great mid-range option for families in Cala d’Or. Kids can swim in the specially designated kiddie pool as well as partake in their very own mini-club for some parent-free entertainment ranging from crafts, to bingo, to disco parties.
Those looking to enjoy some recreation as a family can hit the multi-sports court, enjoy a round of tennis, and/or play volleyball on the beach.
Budget: Hotel Calimera Fido Gardens
Despite the more upscale vibe in the Cala d’Or area, you don’t have to spend a fortune to stay here. Hotel Calimera Fido Gardens is evidence of that, with budget-friendly accommodations to suit traveling families.
Kids will love gliding down the property’s multiple water slides and kicking around in the splash pool. Tennis and paddle ball are also available in the sports area.
Portopetro
Highlights for Families in Portopetro:
- Cala Mondrago National Park (& Cala Mondrago Beach within it)

- Opportunity for slower and more relaxed travel
Located within the Santanyí district, Portopetro is a traditional and idyllic fishing village. This town – which is hovering around just 500 residents – is perfect for families looking to escape the crowds of more popular resort towns like neighboring Cala d’Or.
While there’s no beaches directly in town, Portopetro offers plenty of other gems for families, from Cala Mondrago National Park to its charming harbor.

Palma is the lively capital of Mallorca and, if you’re flying into its international airport, the first spot you’ll hit on the island. Despite (or perhaps because of!) its busy city atmosphere, it can actually be a great base for a kid-friendly vacation.
Curious young minds will never be idle or bored in this capital city, where there’s Palma Aquarium, Marineland, and museums galore.
Palma is also where you can hop aboard a wooden train from 1912 to the mountain town of Sóller. I’ve actually written a separate guide to help you plan an awesome day trip aboard the vintage train from Palma to Soller, so be sure to check that out before you go!

Modern and boutique Nakar Hotel is as posh as its rooftop pool, while still being an excellent luxury option for families in Palma. In addition to the rooftop infinity pool, the hotel also offers another outdoor pool.

A beachside haven for those traveling with kids, Santa Ponsa is perfect for a family getaway, despite something of a reputation for being the nightlife hotspot on the island. Sprawling Santa Ponsa Beach is one of the longest beaches in Mallorca. It’s blanketed in golden sand and even offers pedalos in addition to its sun loungers and umbrellas.
Beyond the beach scene, families can hit Jungle Parc, featuring everything from zip lines to a high-ropes course for the more athletic, adrenaline-driven kiddos.
For the younger ones, Santa Ponsa offers more gentle seaside activities, boating excursions, etc..

Bicycle rentals are available at an additional charge.
Mid-Range: Hotel Bon Sol Resort & Spa
It may be pushing it a smidge to classify Hotel Bon Sol Resort & Spa as a mid-range option (since it’s veering into luxury territory). That said, I fell head-over-heels for this property (virtually) and I simply had to share!
In fact, I was really close to booking this jungle-oasis of a property for our first family trip to Mallorca.
Ultimately, I only passed over it given its less-than-ideal proximity to my main points of interest.
However, if you’re planning to base yourself in Illetas, by all means, I’d go with this one! (Just be aware that there’s a 3-night stay minimum.)
Families will be in heaven at Hotel Bon Sol. This amazing property has everything from a kids’s club, to a playground, to a game room, to a full-on entertainment staff.

Nestled amongst the hypnotizing Tramuntana mountains, Valldemossa is the perfect place to soak up that quintessential, old-world Spanish charm on the island.
As opposed to the Majorcan beach resorts that feature old towns, the entirety of Valldemossa is an old town bursting with charm. Families can get lost in a bygone era simply by wandering the charming cobblestone alleyways lined with brilliant flowers, admiring the honey-hued facades, and uncovering a delightful array of shops and cafés.
Valldemossa is also a nature-lover’s playground and perfect for active families who enjoy hiking and biking in the Great Outdoors.

Deia
Highlights for Families in Deia:
- Plenty of opportunities for nature-focused activities amidst jaw-dropping mountain scenery
- Tranquil escape from busier, more touristy Mallorca
- Upscale vibe ideal for the most sophisticated and discerning of family travelers
The smaller “sister” town to Valldemossa, Deia easily makes up for what it lacks in size in breathtaking scenery.
This intimate village nestled in the Tramuntana mountains serves as a muse to numerous artists and writers – including poet Robert Graves – who are inspired by its magnetic beauty. Personally, I was wholly mesmerized by Deia, which is now on my list of most beautiful places I’ve visited.
The village feels incredibly exclusive, yet quietly luxurious. Picture steep switchbacks through mind-bogglingly beautiful mountains, lemon trees draping over ravines, and an expansive valley that seems to stretch out for miles.
When you’ve had your fill of gushing over the Tramuntana mountain backdrop, take the kids for a fun family hike or wander the streets in search of the best photo opps.
PRO TIP: Given that Deia is quite small and exclusive, you’ll want to make restaurant reservations in advance, particularly in the high season.

Children can also enjoy everything from pottery to donkey tours at the hotel’s kids’ club.
Mid-Range: Hotels y Apartamentos DES PUIG
Our stay at Hotels y Apartamentos DES PUIG was truly one of my favorites to date!
The highlight of this family-friendly property is, without a doubt, the stunning views overlooking the Tramuntana mountains that you’ll enjoy from the small outdoor pool.

The suites are also surprisingly spacious. The room set-up is conducive to creating privacy with built-in sliding doors that separate the main bedroom from a living area.
This lovely hotel caters to children and offers highchairs and cribs (pack-and-play style) upon request.
How to Get Here:
Finding this hidden boutique gem is no small feat, so I’ve laid out everything you’ll need to know.
First off, look for signs for Hotel Y Apartamentos DES PUIG along the main road, as this will be the first indication that you’re approaching the property. You may (or may not) spot these as you navigate the mountain switchbacks.
However, don’t expect to come across the hotel from this main road. It’s a recessed property (up a small hill), so you won’t see it straight away.
Instead, you’ll need to drive up a winding “driveway” of sorts, which you can access from the main road (look for a hotel sign).
Once you arrive at the front of the hotel, you won’t be able to enter without a key, so ring the bell located atop the speaker system for service.
During check-in, a hotel staff member should inform you about the gated parking lot designated exclusively for hotel guests at the bottom of the hill. Parking is not located next to the property, so you’ll need to hike back up the hill (or climb a steep staircase) to reach it again once you’ve parked.
If there are no spaces available in the hotel-specific lot, there’s a separate lot a few meters further down this road (it’s a bit overrun with grasses) where you can leave your car for the interim.
*I’ve omitted budget options, as there either aren’t any accommodations in the lower price range or I don’t feel comfortable promoting one of the few options available.
Port de Sóller
Highlights for Families in Port de Sóller:
- Two beaches in protected bays perfect for swimming with little ones
- Numerous family-friendly restaurants with a beautiful backdrop of the port
- Plenty of shops selling souvenirs and fun trinkets for the kids
- Hiking trails for all ages
What was once a somewhat unassuming traditional fishing village, Port de Sóller is now a coastal hub for traveling families seeking a seaside escape. But in case you’re worried the town has lost some of its original charm, you’ll be happy to know it still boasts an active fishing community!
While Port de Sóller also features the beauty of the Tramuntana mountains like Valldemossa and Deia, it’s located at the bottom of the mountain range. The town spills out into a beautiful port lined with colorful boats.
By the way, this stunning coastal village can be easily reached by tram from the larger parent town of Sóller – more to come on that in an upcoming post!
With a quick look around, it’s easy to see Port de Sóller is perfect for kiddos, from the kid-friendly tram, to loads of family-friendly hotels and restaurants, to shallow beaches.

Top Recommended Family Hotels in Port de Sóller
Luxury: Jumeirah Mallorca
Perched atop a clifftop, Jumeirah Mallorca offers jawdropping views over the Port de Sóller and the Tramuntana mountains.

There aren’t many mid-range (or budget) options to be had in Port de Sóller, but Hotel Es Port comes close and is simply too lovely not to mention.
Set amongst gorgeous Mediterranean gardens, this historic 4-star is housed within a 17th-century fortified mansion. While the Port de Sóller is just moments away, the tranquil surroundings are the perfect place to escape from the crowds.
There are two pools at the hotel – one that’s outdoors and suitable to all guests and one that’s indoors and exclusively for adults.
Families can enjoy a fun tennis match at one of the hotel’s three courts.
*I’ve omitted budget options, as there either aren’t any accommodations in the lower price range or I don’t feel comfortable promoting one of the few options available.
Cala Millor
Highlights for Families in Cala Millor:
- Beautiful, blue-flag Cala Millor Beach features white sand and calm turquoise water
- Home to Happy Park, an amusement paradise for children
- Plenty of hotel accommodations for families
- Close to Drach Caves by car, a kid-favorite activity
Another purpose-built resort that’s ideal for family getaways, Cala Millor is most popularly known for its stunning beach of the same name.

I couldn’t have asked for a better first-hotel experience to have with my family than the one we enjoyed at Meliá Cala d’Or Boutique Hotel.

Between the lovely pool set within an idyllic garden oasis (with a separate swim area for the littles), the on-site playground, and the high chairs/cribs offered at no additional charge, it’s one of the best choices for a family getaway in Cala d’Or.
In fact, we saw so many other parents during our stay here – some with children even younger than our six-month-old daughter!

While there’s no beaches directly in town, Portopetro offers plenty of other gems for families, from Cala Mondrago National Park to its charming harbor.

Mid-Range: Hotel Bon Sol Resort & Spa
It may be pushing it a smidge to classify Hotel Bon Sol Resort & Spa as a mid-range option (since it’s veering into luxury territory). That said, I fell head-over-heels for this property (virtually) and I simply had to share!
In fact, I was really close to booking this jungle-oasis of a property for our first family trip to Mallorca.
Ultimately, I only passed over it given its less-than-ideal proximity to my main points of interest.
However, if you’re planning to base yourself in Illetas, by all means, I’d go with this one! (Just be aware that there’s a 3-night stay minimum.)
Families will be in heaven at Hotel Bon Sol. This amazing property has everything from a kids’s club, to a playground, to a game room, to a full-on entertainment staff.

Deia
Highlights for Families in Deia:
- Plenty of opportunities for nature-focused activities amidst jaw-dropping mountain scenery
- Tranquil escape from busier, more touristy Mallorca
- Upscale vibe ideal for the most sophisticated and discerning of family travelers
The smaller “sister” town to Valldemossa, Deia easily makes up for what it lacks in size in breathtaking scenery.
This intimate village nestled in the Tramuntana mountains serves as a muse to numerous artists and writers – including poet Robert Graves – who are inspired by its magnetic beauty. Personally, I was wholly mesmerized by Deia, which is now on my list of most beautiful places I’ve visited.
The village feels incredibly exclusive, yet quietly luxurious. Picture steep switchbacks through mind-bogglingly beautiful mountains, lemon trees draping over ravines, and an expansive valley that seems to stretch out for miles.
When you’ve had your fill of gushing over the Tramuntana mountain backdrop, take the kids for a fun family hike or wander the streets in search of the best photo opps.
PRO TIP: Given that Deia is quite small and exclusive, you’ll want to make restaurant reservations in advance, particularly in the high season.

Mid-Range: Hotels y Apartamentos DES PUIG
Our stay at Hotels y Apartamentos DES PUIG was truly one of my favorites to date!
The highlight of this family-friendly property is, without a doubt, the stunning views overlooking the Tramuntana mountains that you’ll enjoy from the small outdoor pool.

The suites are also surprisingly spacious. The room set-up is conducive to creating privacy with built-in sliding doors that separate the main bedroom from a living area.
This lovely hotel caters to children and offers highchairs and cribs (pack-and-play style) upon request.
How to Get Here:
Finding this hidden boutique gem is no small feat, so I’ve laid out everything you’ll need to know.
First off, look for signs for Hotel Y Apartamentos DES PUIG along the main road, as this will be the first indication that you’re approaching the property. You may (or may not) spot these as you navigate the mountain switchbacks.
However, don’t expect to come across the hotel from this main road. It’s a recessed property (up a small hill), so you won’t see it straight away.
Instead, you’ll need to drive up a winding “driveway” of sorts, which you can access from the main road (look for a hotel sign).
Once you arrive at the front of the hotel, you won’t be able to enter without a key, so ring the bell located atop the speaker system for service.
During check-in, a hotel staff member should inform you about the gated parking lot designated exclusively for hotel guests at the bottom of the hill. Parking is not located next to the property, so you’ll need to hike back up the hill (or climb a steep staircase) to reach it again once you’ve parked.
If there are no spaces available in the hotel-specific lot, there’s a separate lot a few meters further down this road (it’s a bit overrun with grasses) where you can leave your car for the interim.
*I’ve omitted budget options, as there either aren’t any accommodations in the lower price range or I don’t feel comfortable promoting one of the few options available.
Port de Sóller

What was once a somewhat unassuming traditional fishing village, Port de Sóller is now a coastal hub for traveling families seeking a seaside escape. But in case you’re worried the town has lost some of its original charm, you’ll be happy to know it still boasts an active fishing community!
While Port de Sóller also features the beauty of the Tramuntana mountains like Valldemossa and Deia, it’s located at the bottom of the mountain range. The town spills out into a beautiful port lined with colorful boats.
By the way, this stunning coastal village can be easily reached by tram from the larger parent town of Sóller – more to come on that in an upcoming post!
With a quick look around, it’s easy to see Port de Sóller is perfect for kiddos, from the kid-friendly tram, to loads of family-friendly hotels and restaurants, to shallow beaches.
