Family Hotels with Tennis Courts in Mallorca
5 family-friendly hotels with tennis in Mallorca . Handpicked for families who want the best.
If your family already plays tennis at home, a Mallorca holiday is one of the easiest ways to keep the rackets in the bag without anyone moaning. The island has a long racket culture (Rafa Nadal grew up in Manacor and still trains there), so a lot of resorts on the north and east coasts have kept their courts in good shape. The five hotels below all have at least one full-size court on site, plus a kids' pool, a kids' club or playground, and either a beachfront or a five-minute walk to the sea. None of them are tennis academies, which is the point: you book a family resort, you get a court included, and you don't pay academy prices.
Mallorca splits into clear character zones. The north coast (Alcudia, Pollensa, Playa de Muro) is the family heartland: long shallow beaches, pine forest behind the dunes, and resorts that lean into kids' clubs and sports facilities. Can Picafort sits between them with a younger, more mass-market feel. The east coast around Cala d'Or has rocky coves and quieter water. The Tramuntana mountains run down the west side and feel like a different island.
🎾Why book a tennis-friendly family hotel in Mallorca
Tennis on Mallorca works because the climate cooperates. The shoulder seasons (May, June, September, early October) are dry, warm, and not too hot for an hour on court. Most resorts schedule organised lessons in the morning before the heat picks up. Court surfaces are usually hard or artificial clay, well-drained, and resurfaced every few winters.
The Tramuntana shelters the north coast from afternoon wind, which matters more than you'd think for a junior player who can't yet adjust their toss. If your kids are total beginners, look for a hotel that runs a kids' club tennis taster session: it's a lower-pressure way to find out whether they actually like the sport before you commit to a private coach. A few of these resorts also have padel courts now, which younger kids often find easier to start on than full tennis.
Parent's take
Honest take: don't expect tennis academies. These are family hotels with courts, not the other way round. The pool, kids' club and beach will be the main draw. The court is the bonus that lets one parent sneak off for an hour while the other handles the kids' activities, or lets your tennis-keen kid burn off energy when they're sick of the pool.
Our Top 5 Picks
Hotels in Mallorca with tennis, sorted by guest rating.
Valentin Playa de Muro
Playa de Muro South
Excellent
593 reviews
Two hard courts tucked behind the pool deck, with floodlights for evening play and a small pro shop that hires rackets and ball machines. The court orientation runs north-south so morning and late-afternoon shadows are manageable. Beach is a five-minute walk through pine forest at the south end of Playa de Muro.

Why families love Valentin Playa de Muro
We came back specifically because the courts are quiet in the morning. Our 12-year-old slotted into a group lesson at 9am for the first three days then started rallying with us. Court fee was free until 6pm, then 8 euros with floodlights. The kids' club kept our 7-year-old busy when she got bored watching, which she did about 20 minutes in. Beach is small but shelves slowly enough for confident toddler swimmers.
Mar Hotels Playa Mar & Spa
Port de Pollensa
Excellent
253 reviews
Single hard court on the inland side of the building, separated from the beach apartments by a small garden. Court is open to all guests free of charge during the day; floodlit evening play needs to be booked at reception with a 10-euro fee. Best suited to casual rallies rather than serious match play.

The court is fine for a knock-around but it's tight against the building so a deep lob lands in someone's balcony plant. We used it twice in a week as a way to give our 8-year-old a break from the pool. The studio apartment layout meant we could put the kids to bed at 8 and still have an hour of court time under the floodlights, which we couldn't do at the all-inclusive resort we tried last year.
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.

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 Can Picafort
Can Picafort
Excellent
130 reviews
Two artificial clay courts at the edge of the resort grounds, partially shaded by pine trees on the south side until midday. Newer than the Mallorca branch and the courts feel it: surfaces are smooth and lines crisp. Mini-tennis sessions run on the kids' club programme three mornings a week, separate from adult court bookings.

Why families love Zafiro Can Picafort
We swapped to Can Picafort after two nights at a different resort and the courts here felt like a step up. Our 9-year-old got hooked on the morning mini-tennis (10 euros, 45 minutes) and we ended up booking him in every day. The courts are partially shaded until about 11am which let us hit early without melting. Resort is huge so the courts are a 5-minute walk from the family rooms: not a problem but worth knowing.
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.

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.
💡Five things to know before you book
- 1Book a court at check-in. Most resorts run a paper sign-up sheet at reception or the sports desk. Morning slots and twilight slots fill up first, so pencil yourself in for the whole week on day one rather than trying daily.
- 2Bring rackets if you can fit them. Loaner rackets at family resorts are basic strung-once frames that haven't been touched in years. They're fine for a holiday rally with a six-year-old but you'll feel the strings if you actually play.
- 3Pack a tube of three new balls per player. Resort balls are dead. New balls double as a beach toy on the days you don't play, so they're not wasted weight. A small grip overgrip pack also weighs nothing.
- 4Book lessons before you fly. Most resort coaches free-lance and the good ones get filled by repeat guests in the first hour of arrival. Email the hotel a week ahead and ask for the tennis pro's contact, then sort it directly.
- 5Plan court time around shade, not weather. By 11am the sun is brutal and even hard courts feel hot through soles. Schedule kids before 10am and after 5pm. Adults can play through midday in May and October but not July or August.
