For families with young children, spring and autumn are often the best choices, as temperatures are pleasant and the beaches are not crowded.

Playa de Muro on the north coast is one of the best beaches for families. The fine sandy beach slopes gently into the water, so small children can splash around safely. There are also sun loungers, restaurants and playgrounds nearby.

Experience Culture and History in a Playful Way
It's not just Mallorca's beaches and nature that have a lot to offer – the island is also an exciting cultural destination for families. A stroll through a traditional market is exciting for children and adults alike. The market in Sineu is particularly worth a visit, where you can find not only fresh food but also handmade toys and souvenirs. But there are also other activities that can be included in such a trip.
