Mallorca is home, just a few minutes from Porto Cristo, to two of the favourite family excursions on the island: the Caves of Drach and a life-size dinosaur park. Staying at Insotel Cala Mandía Resort & Spa makes it easy to combine beach and pool days with these two adventures, without travelling far.
Caves of Drach, the excursion full of magic
Just a few minutes from the hotel, in Porto Cristo, the Caves of Drach are one of Mallorca's must-see attractions. This is a set of four interconnected caves stretching 1,200 metres underground, formed by the action of water on limestone rock over millions of years. Inside lies Lake Martel, one of the largest underground lakes in the world.
The tour lasts around an hour and includes a boat ride across the lake, accompanied by a live classical music concert that has been held underground since 1935, with a lighting display that creates a truly unique atmosphere. An experience that surprises children and adults alike.
Dinosaurland, a Jurassic park next to the Caves dels Hams
Nearby, next to the Caves dels Hams, is Dinosaurland, Mallorca's only dinosaur park. Across more than 12,000 square metres, visitors can see over 100 life-size dinosaurs from 40 different species, some of them moving and making sounds, including two T-Rex and an enormous titanosaur.
The park can be explored freely and features information panels on each species, short shows throughout the day and a dig site where children can search for their own dinosaur bones. It's also possible to combine the ticket with a visit to the Caves dels Hams to make the most of the day.
Insotel Cala Mandía Resort & Spa, the perfect base for travelling with children
After a day out, Insotel Cala Mandía Resort & Spa offers everything needed to make the rest of the holiday just as special. Located next to Cala Mandía beach and just minutes from Porto Cristo, this 4-star resort features Family Suites and Superior Family Suites with separate bedrooms, the spectacular indoor and outdoor Insi Splash Park, six children's pools and the Insi Club, with daily activities organised by age group.
Families travelling with babies can also rely on the Insotel Baby Service, which includes pushchairs, bottle warmers and cots on request, while the All Inclusive Gold board lets you enjoy your stay without worrying about anything else. Rooms, services and offers can be found on the official Insotel Cala Mandía Resort & Spa website.
Caves, dinosaurs and beach, all in one destination: rarely does a family holiday bring together so many experiences so close to one another. Book your stay at Insotel Cala Mandía and discover why Mallorca is one of the favourite plans for travelling with children.
