amily holidays in Mallorca can be amazing and finding the perfect beach is essential. While there are dozens of beaches on the island to choose from, not all of them are exactly child-friendly. Our criteria here is for easy access - i.e. no long walks or complicated drives, large stretches of sand to play, lifeguards, showers, and other amenities, including seaside restaurants and shops. If you’re looking for easy and safe fun, as well as beauty and style, these are our five-go to relaxing beaches with a family-friendly vibe for you to enjoy. 

Palmanova

Located on Mallorca’s southwest coast, just 15 minutes from Palma, this sprawling and beautiful beach is a treasure trove of family fun. In the heart of the popular tourist resort, golden sand gently slopes into calm, shallow waters, creating a safe playground for the youngest beachgoers. Showers and bathrooms are available and there is a lifeguard on duty. A long boardwalk backs up to the beach with an array of cafes, restaurants, and shops as well as an assortment of children's play areas and watersports facilities. This resort town has it all!

Port de Soller

Tucked within a scenic horseshoe-shaped bay and flanked by dramatic cliffs, Port de Sóller provides an ideal family-friendly beach experience in Mallorca where you can take in the natural beauty of the island. The location boasts two beaches, Platja d'en Repic and Platja des Traves, both featuring shallow and calm waters perfect for the smallest members of your family. Some areas have lounge chairs and umbrellas for rent. Along the boardwalk, which stretches over a kilometre, are many restaurants, shops and cafes. For watersports, there is a place to rent paddleboards and in summer months, kayaks and pedal boats. Enjoy the picturesque tram that goes from Soller to Port de Soller.
