Family Hotels in Mallorca with Golf Access
5 family-friendly hotels with golf in Mallorca . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Mallorca packs more than 20 championship courses into a 90-minute drive radius, which means you can play a different one each morning and still be back at the kids' pool by lunch. The five family hotels below all sit either on a course or within ten minutes of one, with proper kids clubs, multilingual childcare, and the kind of breakfast spread that fuels an early tee time. Tee sheets fill fast in shoulder season, so book the room and the round together.
Mallorca isn't trying to be the Algarve. The vibe at most clubs is friendly rather than corporate, with mixed groups of locals and visitors and dress codes that lean smart-casual rather than country-club strict. Fairways thread through pine forest, almond groves and the occasional 14th-century watchtower, and post-round food at the clubhouse is more often grilled fish than burger-and-chips.
Why Mallorca Works for Golf Families
Spread of courses: from heathland-style Pula and Son Antem to the sea-cliff drama of Alcanada, Mallorca offers more variety in 90 minutes than most golf islands offer in a week.
Junior programmes: clubs like Son Antem, Vall d'Or and Capdepera run group lessons for ages 6 and up, often in English, with morning slots that free up the rest of the day for the beach.
Family-friendly pricing: twilight rates kick in around 14:00 at most public-access courses, so a parent can play nine while the rest of the family naps.
Logistics: hire-car drives between the airport and the main golf clusters cap at about 50 minutes, and several family hotels offer transfer-and-tee-time bundles that take the planning out of it.
Parent's take
We asked a dad of two who plays Son Antem every July what makes the difference. His answer: a hotel where the kids actually want to stay, a course that books a 7:30 first tee, and a wife who's happy in the spa. The five hotels below tick those three boxes more reliably than the booking-site averages suggest.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Mallorca with golf, sorted by guest rating.
Wonderful
434 reviews
A hilltop Marriott Luxury Collection property in Son Vida, 15 minutes' drive from Palma. The wellness centre has a proper heated indoor pool, an outdoor pool with city views, and a larger spa layout than any boutique in town. Set on a golf estate with gardens.

€522/night
Why families love Castillo Hotel Son Vida, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Mallorca
The only true resort on this list, Son Vida has the space a week-long family stay needs. The indoor pool is big enough for two kids to swim, and gardens stretch far enough to burn off energy before dinner. Trade-off is location: you need a rental car, and dinner in town is a 20-euro taxi each way. We would come back for a winter week, not a weekend.
Prinsotel La Dorada & Spa
Playa de Muro
Excellent
1,815 reviews
Two full-size courts plus a paddle tennis court, all with floodlights, and a clear sightline to the spa garden. The resort runs an organised junior tennis week in shoulder season with two hours of group coaching daily, included in the room rate when offered. Otherwise courts are first-come-first-served by daytime, charged for evening play.

€585/night
Why families love Prinsotel La Dorada & Spa
Booked specifically for the junior tennis week in late September. Our 10-year-old had two hours of coaching every morning with a Spanish pro who barely spoke English; turned out not to matter because he just demonstrated everything. By Friday she was rallying. Padel court was a hit with my husband and our older son, who'd never played before. Six restaurants meant we never ate the same buffet twice.
Zafiro Mallorca & Spa
Can Picafort
Very Good
179 reviews
Single artificial clay court next to the spa block, set back from the main pool noise so play feels less hectic than at bigger resorts. The pro runs a Tots tennis programme on Tuesday and Thursday mornings for ages 5 to 9, with foam balls and reduced-size rackets. Resort itself is geared heavily to families with kids under 10.

Why families love Zafiro Mallorca & Spa
The Tots tennis morning was the surprise hit. Our 6-year-old went in clutching the racket like a hammer and came out doing actual mini-tennis rallies with another girl from Belgium. Fifteen euros for the hour. Adult court time was bookable through the spa desk in 60-minute slots. Surface plays slow, which suits beginners more than experienced players. Indoor playroom saved us on a windy day.
Zafiro Palace Alcudia
Port d'Alcudia
Very Good
118 reviews
Zafiro Palace Alcudia is the 5-star flagship of the Zafiro brand. The kids' programme runs three age bands (Mini 4-7, Maxi 8-11, Teeny 12-15) plus paid babysitting for under-4s at around 18 EUR/hour. The Palace has a dedicated pirate-themed splash park, a kids' spa treatment menu, and themed character dinners. Suites only — no standard rooms.

Why families love Zafiro Palace Alcudia
At 522 EUR/night this is the splurge option, and it delivers on what you pay for. The kids' programme at Zafiro Palace is the most structured we've seen in Spain: full written schedule emailed before arrival, nametags for children, themed shows with proper costumes. The pirate splash park has a full galleon structure kids can climb. The suite (a junior suite at 55 sqm) was bigger than our London flat. Downside: only 118 reviews because it's small and pricey, and bookings fill months ahead for August. Book by February if you want July.
SOL Katmandú Park & Resort
Magaluf
Very Good
490 reviews
SOL Katmandú is the only hotel in Mallorca with a **full theme park included** in the room rate. Katmandu Park has mini golf, 4D cinema, climbing walls, and interactive games. The resort has **6 restaurants**, 2 pools with a kids section, and a daily entertainment program. All-inclusive covers buffet meals, snacks, and drinks at all bars. Located in Magaluf, 20 minutes from Palma airport.

Why families love SOL Katmandú Park & Resort
Our kids ages 6 and 9 rated this the best holiday ever, no exaggeration. The theme park access is unlimited so they went back to the 4D cinema three times. The pools are not huge but there is always something happening: foam parties, pool games, treasure hunts. The buffet has a dedicated kids station at child height. Magaluf can be loud at night but the resort is set back enough from the strip that we slept fine.
💡Practical Tips for Golfing Parents in Mallorca
- 1Book tee times at the same time you book the hotel, not after. Premium courses like Alcanada and Son Vida fill 60 days out for July and August mornings, and the kids club rota at the resort matters less if you can't actually play.
- 2Pick a hotel with at least two pools if you have under-tens. The afternoon-after-golf reset goes much better when there's a quiet pool for baby and a noisier splash zone for siblings, both within sight of the same lounger.
- 3Rent clubs locally rather than fly with your own. Son Antem, Pula and Alcanada all rent recent Callaway or TaylorMade sets for around 50 euros a round, which is cheaper than airline bag fees on most carriers.
- 4Schedule your rounds for the first or last day of the trip. Day-one jet lag works in your favour for an early tee, and the last morning means you can play, shower and head straight to the airport without worrying about pool-time.
- 5Check whether the course allows juniors at peak times. Most do during shoulder season, but July-August often restricts under-12 access to twilight slots only, so plan family-foursome rounds for September or May.
