Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit Majorca during the school holidays?

The summer school holidays from late July to early September offer the hottest and most reliable weather, with temperatures regularly reaching 30 degrees Celsius and sea temperatures perfect for swimming and watersports. Easter and May half-term provide a slightly cooler but still very pleasant alternative, with average temperatures around 18 to 22 degrees and noticeably fewer crowds. October half-term is also viable, with warm autumn sunshine and significantly lower prices making it an attractive option for budget-conscious families.

Which Majorca resort is best for families with young children?

Alcudia is consistently regarded as the finest family resort in Majorca for families travelling with young children. Its expansive sandy beach stretches for several kilometres, the sea is shallow and calm making it safe for paddling and swimming, and the resort itself offers a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere with a good range of family restaurants and entertainment options. Can Picafort, situated at the southern end of Alcudia Bay, offers a similarly calm and family-friendly environment with slightly quieter surroundings.

Is Majorca suitable for families with teenagers?

Majorca is an excellent choice for families travelling with teenagers, offering a broad range of experiences and activities that appeal to older children and young adults. Magaluf and Palmanova provide a lively resort atmosphere with water parks, go-karting, mini golf, and a wide range of evening entertainment. The island's interior offers quad biking, hiking, and cycling opportunities, while the coastline provides jet skiing, parasailing, and boat trips for thrill-seeking teenagers. The vibrant capital city of Palma is also well worth a day trip for older children with an interest in history, culture, and shopping.

What family attractions are there in Majorca beyond the beach?

Majorca offers a genuinely impressive range of family attractions and activities away from the beach. Aqualand and Western Water Park near Magaluf are perennial family favourites, offering exhilarating water slides and rides for all ages. Safari Zoo in Sa Coma, Palma Aquarium, and the Caves of Drach near Porto Cristo are all outstanding family days out. Boat trips around the coastline, glass-bottomed boat excursions, and cycling tours through the island's scenic interior add further variety to a Majorca family holiday.

How long is the flight from the UK to Majorca?

Direct flights from the UK to Palma de Mallorca Airport take approximately two hours and fifteen minutes to two hours and thirty minutes depending on your departure airport. Direct services operate from a wide range of UK regional airports including London Gatwick, London Heathrow, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Bristol, and Newcastle, making Majorca one of the most conveniently accessible Mediterranean island destinations for families across the whole of the UK.

Is all inclusive a good choice for a Majorca family school holiday?

All inclusive is an enormously popular choice for Majorca family school holidays and is strongly worth considering, particularly during the peak summer weeks when the cost of eating and drinking independently at resort restaurants can add significantly to overall holiday expenditure. Many of Majorca's finest family all inclusive resorts include kids clubs, daytime activity programmes, evening entertainment, and unlimited food and drink within a single package price, delivering outstanding value and complete peace of mind for parents throughout the holiday.

How far in advance should I book a Majorca school holiday package?

For peak summer school holidays in July and August, booking nine to twelve months ahead is strongly recommended to secure the best family hotel availability and most competitive package prices. Majorca is one of the most popular destinations booked through Johnson Holidays during the school summer holidays, and the most sought-after family resorts and all inclusive properties fill up quickly once they become available. Johnson Holidays offers flexible spread-cost payment plans, allowing families to reserve their Majorca holiday with a deposit and pay the balance in manageable monthly instalments.
