Special place to stay in Mallorca / south Spain with young children??

[pregnabrain]

We want to go to Spain (esp Mallorca) in late August and really want to find somewhere special to stay. We've got dd1 (3 years old) and dd2 (will be 3 months old).

Want to be near a nice beach and stay in accommodation with a kitchen (going out to eat in the evening won't be easy, obviously).

We don't want to stay in a big resort. Our ideal scenario would be a finca or a farm where dd1 can enjoy feeding animals etc, ideally where she might also meet other kids, and that has a pool.

Asking the world? Moi?

Any recommendations or can you point me in the direction of a book or website to help?

muchas gracias

Magic of Spain used to do out of the ordinary hols, not the usual package stuff. A bit more expensive but worth a look.

Pollenca (the town) is lovely. We used to rent a large house (with a swimming pool and it own olive grove). It was brilliant but had no electricity apart from two solar panels which provided sufficient electricity to boil the kettle about three times a day. It was extremely basic but extremely gorgeous. It was just outside Pollensa - about 20 mins walk/5 mins drive.

ooh yes pollenca is fab. really nice market. will check out accommodation round there. i think we might need electricity!

will have a look at magic of spain too

I like a spanish website called toprural.com which has plenty of rural self catering. For example this one: here

Forgot to say toprural is written in spanish but I think there's an English version.

I would highly recommend puerto pollensa, look at the fab website puerto pollensa.com.

We have just returned from 11 days there. I can honestly say it is the nicest resort I have ever been to. Large enough to have a good selection of restaurants and shops, but no neon lights or amusements. It is a really lovely resort suitable for families (went with 2 and 4 yr old boys).

The beach is geat, shallow and warm so ideal for the children.

We loved it.. as you can tell!!
