Thinking Mallorca for your next family holiday? These TUI resorts are perfect for kids of all ages

Mumsnet users absolutely love the peaceful, sandy beaches of Puerto Pollensa on the Northern coast of Mallorca, and if you’re looking to pair that setting with a modern, family-friendly base, the Puerto Azul Suite Hotel is hard to beat. 

Frequently recommended on the Mumsnet boards, the hotel offers a great mix of style and practicality. There’s a large outdoor pool, thoughtfully split into three sections for younger children, beginners and more confident swimmers, as well as a kids’ club and playground. The buffet-style dining comes highly recommended by reviewers, as does the quality of service.

Just a short walk to Puerto Pollensa’s main beach as well as the town square, the hotel is an excellent all-rounder choice of accommodation that combines location, convenience and a slightly more polished feel.

If you’re looking for a luxurious, all-out family holiday, the relaxed, pristine sandy beaches and turquoise waters of Sa Coma delivers just that - and the TUI Blue Sensatori Biomar more than matches it. 

Everything is designed to run smoothly here, from the well-reviewed restaurants to the extensive kids clubs (covering everyone from babies to older teens), making it the ultimate stress-free family holiday environment.

There are two buffet restaurants and four a la carte dining options to choose from as well as eight bars and an impressive choice of six pools, including a luxurious hydrothermal spa pool. The sandy beaches of Sa Coma are just 15 minutes’ walk from the hotel, or if you fancy venturing further afield, nearby Cala Millor offers plenty of shops, restaurants and seafront strolls.

Another vote for the popular Puerto Pollensa area, VillaConcha stands out for its impressive offering of sporting activities, from swimming to cycling, tennis, windsurfing, golf, waterskiing and even horse riding!

It doesn’t have quite the same level of all-day entertainment as some larger resorts, but that’s part of its appeal as it makes for a more relaxed atmosphere, with a focus on flexibility and going at your own pace.

With three luxurious pools, spacious grounds and the beach just a short walk away, it strikes a great balance between activity and downtime.

Another favourite location among Mallorca-loving Mumsnetters, Cala d’Or is a former fishing village turned stylish, family-friendly resort on the island’s southeast coast. 

Just 300m from the resort centre and 500m from the Cala Gran and Cala d’Or beaches, the Inturotel Sa Marina is a popular choice of hotel for those who want everything - shops, restaurants, sandy beaches galore - right on their doorstep. The hotel itself has a friendly, family-orientated atmosphere with a well-run kids’ club and several pools to keep everyone entertained. 

With its buzzy, fun vibe, excellent customer service and palm-tree studded lagoon pools, it’s a great choice for those who want both chilled downtime and a bit of liveliness on holiday.

Another entry for the Mumsnet-favourite resort of Puerto Pollensa, the Playa Mar & Spa is a great choice if you’re after a more relaxing break with plenty to do on-site.

The apartment-style set up offers families plenty of space to spread out (always a good thing when you’re travelling with small chidren!) and the on-site splash park, pools and spa mean there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained without needing to venture far. 

The hotel isn’t right on the beach, but it’s within reach of the promenade and Pine Walk, a Mallorca-famous scenic pedestrian route known for its mature pine trees and sandy beach inlets. Overall, it’s a great choice for families looking for a peaceful balance of calm and convenience.

If your holiday dreams involve wide stretches of white, sandy beaches and the gentle lap of shallow, turquoise waters, it’s hard to beat this TUI Blue resort set right on the shores of Playa de Muro. The gentle, calm waters are ideal for little ones, and the resort itself offers plenty to fall back on including kids’ pools, soft play and a playground.

Kids aged all the way from babies to older teens are well catered for here with the inclusive kids’ club, giving parents the freedom to enjoy the spa, head off for a guided local walk or simply sit and enjoy the holiday dream. An ideal choice for families wanting sun, sea and simplicity.

Set in the laid-back resort of Cala Bona on Mallorca’s east coast, the TUI Blue Grupotel Mallorca Mar is a great option for space, diverse activities and epic coastal views.

Surrounded by lush palm tress and open green spaces, there’s plenty of space for kids to run around - when they’re not busy with the epic splash park or plethora of kid-friendly activities, that is! 

With plenty of day and night entertainment for the whole family on offer, including multi-sensory BLUETots sessions, fitness classes, swimming lessons, live shows, music and appearances from TUI’s friendly resident robot, 2E-3000, there’s no end of things to do on-site. Alternatively, the hotel is just a short walk from the charming, traditional Spanish town of Cala Bona as well as its sandy coves which offer a peaceful respite from the hustle and bustle.

If your top priority for a family holiday is fun-filled activities and entertainment from morning to night, this Holiday Village resort in Cala Millor certainly delivers. From splash parks to stage shows and kids’ clubs packed full of activities from archery to an aerial adventure course and evening star-gazing sessions, there’s something for every age and energy level.

The location adds to the appeal, too. Cala Millor is one of Mallorca’s livelier resorts, with a long seafront promenade perfect for evening strolls (or roller skating!) plus plenty of restaurants, shops and beach bars lining the coast. 

This is definitely one of the more high-energy options on our list, which for many families is exactly the point of a great holiday. With everything in one place and all-inclusive dining taken care of, it’s a fun, low-hassle choice where boredom simply isn’t on the agenda.
