Family Hotels in Mallorca with Golf and Mini Golf
5 family-friendly hotels with golf in Mallorca . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Golf on this page comes in two sizes, and it is worth knowing which one you are booking. Castillo Hotel Son Vida, a five-star on a hilltop golf estate fifteen minutes from Palma, is the choice for a parent who wants to play real rounds. The other hotels are beach resorts where golf means mini golf: Prinsotel La Dorada on Playa de Muro, Zafiro Mallorca & Spa in Can Picafort and SOL Katmandú Park & Resort in Magaluf, whose theme park includes a mini golf course. For families with young children, that second kind is often the more useful one.
Mallorca is two islands for families. The south-west around Palma and Magaluf is busy and well connected, with the airport close by and the old town of Palma for a day out. The north around the bay of Alcúdia is flatter and calmer, with long sandy beaches, shallow water and resorts built for children. Between them, the Serra de Tramuntana mountains offer drives and walks on days away from the pool.

⛳Why Mallorca Works for Golf Families
Mallorca suits golfing families because a real course and a family beach are rarely far apart. Son Vida sits just above Palma, while the long sandy bay of Alcúdia, with Playa de Muro and Can Picafort, holds several family resorts with mini golf, kids pools and clubs. One parent can play in the morning while the others stay at the pool, and everyone meets for lunch.
Castillo Hotel Son Vida is the only hotel on this page that is genuinely about golf. This five-star Luxury Collection property sits on a hilltop in Son Vida, about fifteen minutes by car from Palma, and is set on a golf estate with gardens. For children, the wellness centre has a heated indoor pool and there is an outdoor pool with views over the city. It is a calm, adult-leaning hotel, so I would choose it for families with older children or for a parent who wants to play while the rest of the family enjoys the pools and Palma's old town nearby.
Prinsotel La Dorada & Spa is the strongest all-round family resort in the list. It sits on the beachfront of Playa de Muro, on the long sandy bay of Alcúdia, with a kids club, a full-size adventure playground, six restaurants and a full spa for parents. The golf here is mini golf, next to the tennis courts, which also include a paddle tennis court with floodlights. For families whose children are too young for a real course, this mix of beach, playground and mini golf fills the day better than any golf estate, and the shallow bay suits small swimmers.
Zafiro Mallorca & Spa in Can Picafort, a little further along the same bay, is geared heavily to families with children under ten. It has an indoor play area and an outdoor playground, a mini golf course and a games room, a kids pool with water features and an on-site spa for parents. A single artificial clay tennis court sits away from the main pool noise, and a Tots tennis programme runs on Tuesday and Thursday mornings for ages five to nine. Zafiro Palace Alcudia, the brand's five-star in Port d'Alcúdia, has suites only and a pirate-themed splash park, though its listing does not mention golf.
SOL Katmandú Park & Resort in Magaluf is the choice for children who will not sit through a round of anything. Its Katmandu Park theme park has mini golf, a 4D cinema, climbing walls and interactive games, and the resort adds two pools with a kids section, six restaurants and a daily entertainment programme. It is about twenty minutes from Palma airport, which keeps transfer time short for a long weekend. My advice: if a parent wants real golf, base yourselves at Son Vida; if the children are the priority, choose the bay of Alcúdia or Magaluf and treat mini golf as the bonus.
Parent's take
I recommend Castillo Hotel Son Vida for a parent who actually wants to play golf: it is the only hotel on this page set on a golf estate, fifteen minutes from Palma, with an indoor pool for the children. If golf for your family means a round of mini golf after the beach, I would choose Prinsotel La Dorada on Playa de Muro instead.

Why families love Castillo Hotel Son Vida, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Mallorca
Castillo Hotel Son Vida is a hilltop Luxury Collection resort in Son Vida, on a golf estate about 15 minutes' drive from Palma, and I recommend it for a week-long family stay. The wellness centre has a proper heated indoor pool and a larger spa than the boutique hotels in town, while the outdoor pool looks over the city. The gardens give children room to run. A rental car makes trips into Palma easier.
Prinsotel La Dorada & Spa
Playa de Muro
Excellent

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 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
Zafiro Mallorca & Spa in Can Picafort is geared to families with children under 10. A tennis pro runs a Tots programme for ages 5 to 9 on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, with foam balls and small rackets, on a clay court set back from the pool noise. I also like the indoor play area, outdoor playground, mini golf, games room and kids' pool with water features. Parents have an on-site spa.

Why families love Zafiro Palace Alcudia
Zafiro Palace Alcudia is the 5-star flagship of the Zafiro brand, and I recommend it to families who want a highly structured kids' programme.

The pirate-themed splash park has a galleon children can climb, and there are kids' spa treatments from age 6 and themed character dinners. Every room is a suite.

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
- 1Check which kind of golf you need before booking: only Castillo Hotel Son Vida sits on a golf estate, while the other hotels on this page offer mini golf.
- 2If one parent plays at Son Vida, plan the round early in the day and keep the afternoon for the indoor pool or a walk in Palma's old town, fifteen minutes away.
- 3For toddlers and young children, the bay of Alcúdia is easier than the south-west: the beach at Playa de Muro is long and sandy with shallow water.
- 4At Zafiro Mallorca & Spa, ask about the Tots tennis sessions on Tuesday and Thursday mornings for ages five to nine, with foam balls and small rackets.
- 5At SOL Katmandú Park & Resort, plan the theme park visit for one full day so children can do the mini golf, the 4D cinema and the climbing walls together.
- 6Use the Serra de Tramuntana for a day off the beach: the mountain drives between Palma and the north make a change of scene halfway through the week.
