The Zafiro Palace Alcudia is one of a relatively rare breed of high-end resorts that cater almost exclusively to families with kids. The location in the popular tourist town of Port d'Alcudia is decent enough, within easy reach of the resort center and wide, sweeping beach. But with so many pools, kids' clubs, and dining options, guests tend to spend most of their time within the confines of the sleek and contemporary all-suite complex. The 369 suites are spacious and chic, with large outdoor spaces, luxury bathrooms, and upscale amenities as standard. Spa facilities and an adults-only pool also mean downtime for the parents, and an all-inclusive option make for one less reason to leave the hotel. While not cheap, it is without doubt one of the finest of its ilk on the island. Couples, however, may wish to consider the adults-only Eix Alcudia Hotel directly overlooking the beach.

One of the most outstanding attractions of the Monnaber Nou is its setting surrounded by picturesque countryside with the majestic backdrop of the Serra de Tramuntana Mountains. The upper-middle-range hotel itself is certainly a draw too, set in a 17th-century country house brimming with historic rustic charm. Its 25 rooms are clean and well-maintained, with most offering country views, though a number of rooms are located in a very separate annex. The surrounding farmland produces much of the ingredients used in the excellent on-site restaurant, which also opens to a terrace with lovely panoramas. Two pools and a cozy spa provide ample relaxation space, even at peak season. And with bike rentals, horse stables, and plenty of local footpaths there are multiple ways to explore the area. The only real downside is much of the interiors feel rather old-fashioned, especially compared to the rustic-luxe finish of the comparable Son Brull Hotel, which is undeniably chicer though more expensive.

Housed in a beautifully renovated 16th-century home, the three-and-a-half-pearl, adult-only Sa Carrotja is packed with Mediterranean charm. Its 12 rooms are simple but elegant, with plenty of lovely original architectural details plus free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and air-conditioning. Many rooms also have furnished terraces that overlook the peaceful grounds dotted with flowers and fruit trees. A wonderful breakfast spread is offered daily, and a tasty regional menu is served for dinner on two covered terraces with low lights and a hushed atmosphere. The seasonally-heated pool is a quiet spot for a lazy day in the sun, with loungers, straw umbrellas, and an honor bar. Families and those looking to stay within walking distance of the beach may want to compare rates at the Blau Colonia Sant Jordi Resort & Spa.

This budget hotel, with 208 rooms, offers a good deal for the price, but some repeat problems may surface including general noise, poor levels of room cleanliness, and pesky extra charges for amenities such as Wi-Fi and use of in-room fridges. The building itself is a '70s-era construction, located in downtown Platja d’Aro; the decor in both the common areas and the individual rooms is not far from this dated aesthetic. An outdoor pool, pool bar, and some other amenities like an internet terminal in the lobby, a children’s play room, and plenty of meeting spaces draw budget-conscious families and business travelers.
