Diese Gegend ist für Erwachsene und Kinder gleichermaßen geeignet, da es hier viel zu sehen und zu tun gibt.

Puerto de Alcudia




Puerto de Alcudia is a very popular and big holiday destination in the North of Mallorca. Because of this, you can find everything you could want during your holiday here. There are lots of restaurants and bars ranging from budget-friendly to upscale, and there is also a pretty good, mostly, family-focussed nightlife.
The beach here is also ideal, especially for families with small children because of the small waves and shallow waters. While there are excellent hotels in Puerto de Alcudia for couples and adults, the general vibe is more family-focused. So, for adults staying here, it is best to stay near the marina, where everything is a bit more upscale and adult-focused.
- The best area to explore the North of Mallorca without a car.
- There are easy bus connections to most of the northern areas, Such as Alcanada, Playa de Muro, Can Picafort, and Puerto Pollensa.
- Also, popular inland areas like Pollensa and Alcudia, with lots of culture, history, and an authentically Spanish setting, are easily reached by bus.
- Puerto de Alcudia also has a go-karting track, horse riding ranch and waterpark for kids.
- Boat tours along the coastline to explore nearby beaches.
- Plenty of bus tours take you to the most popular attractions on the other side of the island.
- Taxis on almost every street corner.

Zafiro Tropic is great for families, and Viva Golf is great for couples and adults. Both are located near the marina and main street where most buses pass.
Palma




Palma, the capital of Mallorca, is also a great place to stay without a car. It is even better to stay here without a car, because of the parking situation. Especially during the winter season, this is a great place to stay on the island, as there is always something to see and do, while many other areas on the island can feel empty and abbandoned then. Palma is great for those looking for a more authentic Spanish city trip experience with lots of tapas and shopping.
This area can be budget-friendly because of the many cheap hostels, but it also has many pricey fancy hotels. While I would not advise staying here with children, it is great for adults, solo travellers and couples.

Playa de Palma




Playa de Palma is not to be confused with Palma City, as many do. It is a more touristy destination directly next to the beach. There is a huge beach here and plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from. Over the years, this area has gone from a party-focused area to a more upscale destination.
This area is very popular with younger couples, adults, solo travellers, and groups of friends who want to be close to the more clubbing and party-focused El Arenal in summer.
