Palmanova; The Ideal Teenager-friendly Summer Holiday

Teenagers can be hard to please when you are thinking about planning a holiday, but if you are determined to find the perfect family trip away that will suit even the fussiest of teens, you are in luck. Holidays in Mallorca’s Palmanova are perfect, especially if you want to be close to plenty of teenager-friendly fun, but don’t want to worry about the rowdiness that is often associated with other Mallorca resorts, such as Magaluf.

Where to Stay

First of all you will want to be sure you have picked a hotel that will not only offer you the relaxation you are looking for, but that will also provide all the mod cons youngsters today seem to require everywhere they go. Zafiro Palace in Palmanova is an excellent choice of accommodation if you are visiting with teenagers. Not only is the Wi-Fi free and available throughout the hotel, but the Market Buffet Restaurant, which serves a range of breakfasts and dinners, is a reasonably priced eatery ideal for growing teens who may also still be fussy too. Close to the beach and offering plenty of all-inclusive options, this hotel is top of the list when it comes to choosing accommodation in Palmanova.

What’s On Offer for Teens Enjoying Holidays in Mallorca

Teenagers are known for their disinterest when it comes to activities, and they often change their minds on a whim when it comes to things they do and don’t want to do. Here in Mallorca, however, they will be spoiled for choice and are bound to be persuaded by what is on offer.

Many activities are available as courses and lessons which means mum and dad don’t need to join in but you can rest assured that your youngsters are being taken care of well. Tennis is a big sport on the island, as is scuba diving, coasteering and sailing. With specialist instructors and courses lasting from a few hours to two weeks, your teens are bound to find something they fancy trying. Canyoning is perfect for the adrenalin junkie in your tribe and Mallorca has lots of opportunity to try this adventurous sport, even for complete beginners. 

Family Fun

Holidays in Mallorca are not only about the teens, and while you will definitely want to see your youngsters spread their wings a little, you are bound to want to share some family time too, so a day out at the water park should certainly be on the agenda. Parents can opt in or out of the rides and with plenty of space to relax, you can easily spend a full day at one of these spots.

Beach clubs are another possibility for a day out as a family. Safe and contained, yet with lots of space to spread out, you can relax with a book or even a cocktail while the teens hang out listening to the DJs and sunbathing by the pool.

The Adventure Rooms are perfect for families who enjoy a bit of competition and a challenge. Using teamwork you and your gang have to escape from a locked room. This is an activity that is bound to kick-start the family bonding experience!

The ideas above are by no means exhaustive but hopefully you now have an insight into what Palmanova has to offer families with teenagers.

While planning holidays with older children can be a challenge, it is worth knowing that there are specialist travel companies out there who can help, with many providing family holidays in Mallorca. Experienced in organising trips that include teenager-friendly accommodation and activities, these companies take all the worry and stress out of planning, leaving you free to look forward to making memories as a family.
