La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel, Mallorca

The Best Family-Friendly Hotels in Spain

"Best for: Creative minds The bohemian village of Deia is known to draw artists, writers, and musicians from far and wide. Set on its dreamy cliffs, La Residencia is an art lover’s paradise, with an on-site gallery and artist residencies across the year. So it’s no surprise that the hotel looks to cultivate creative talent among its younger guests with painting, drawing, and sculpture classes run by resident artists. The Smile Club also lets little ones get stuck into table tennis, t-shirt painting, and necklace making; foodie families can also take cooking classes together, with special cookie-making lessons for seven to 13-year-olds. While exploring the grounds, animal lovers can’t miss the hotel’s most adorable hosts—Chico, Fosca, and the other resident donkeys, who are always keen for a meet-and-greet with the kids. —Agnish Ray Price: From about $814 per night This gallery was originally published on Condé Nast Traveller UK." - Sarah Leigh Bannerman
