Good to know
- Book beach club loungers and dinner tables at least 2 weeks in advance; they sell out fast during peak season.
- Taxis can be difficult to hail in peak summer; use the 'TaxiClick' app or book a private chauffeur for the day to ensure smooth travel with kids.
- Most beach clubs are very kid-friendly during the day, but transition into a more party-centric vibe after 7 PM. 7Pines and Nikki Beach (early afternoon) are excellent for families.
- When visiting Dalt Vila, park in the 'Es Pratet' parking lot or take a taxi to the main gate to avoid navigating narrow streets.
