Grandparents’ Day is celebrated in Spain on 26 July. It entails a well-merited homage to these much-loved people who, in a completely selfless way and at no small cost to themselves, take responsibility for their grandchildren, caring for them and giving them all the affection in the world.

Their advice, stories and experience are tremendously enriching; they are living legends of times gone by, no doubt harder than ours, but with positive aspects too, such as better communication within the family, something we should not allow ourselves to lose sight of.

What’s more, in Spain, many grandparents play a key role in keeping the family afloat economically, taking responsibility for the grandchildren when they’re little while the parents are out at work. A priceless help!

Make it up to the grandparents with a family holiday

Although the help, support and affection provided by grandparents can never be repaid, why not thank them for their effort and love with a family holiday on Mallorca? This way, all of you get to enjoy it! Use Grandparents’ Day on 26 July as your pretext for spending some days on Mallorca: a perfect place to enjoy a holiday in each other’s company, savouring a superb climate and the finest beaches and coves.

The best family options from Hotels VIVA

At Hotels VIVA we’ve come up with the ideal formula, combining family holidays for people of all ages (grandparents, parents and kids) with sports activities and Balneum treatments: especially recommended for relaxing and pampering yourself at the aesthetic and psychological level.

Thanks to our monitors and the daily activities for the little ones, you can be assured that your kids will be constantly entertained and looked after. The grandparents and parents can thus have some relaxation and leisure time to themselves: no doubt richly deserved!

Two of the most exclusive family hotels are to be found in two iconic parts of the island of Mallorca: Cala Mesquida and the S’Albufera Natural Park.

The VIVA Cala Mesquida Resort & Spa aparthotel  is perfect for spending a family holiday. It is a luxurious hotel, ideal for relaxing, but it also has facilities and activities aimed at the youngest members of the family: a games area and  Bufo’s Mini Club. Designed more with the grown-ups in mind, we have two distinct areas:  one is the Balneum Spa featuring a jacuzzi, hydromassage, etc. … where you’ll be able to switch off while receiving treatments to attain complete wellbeing. And for sports-lovers, those who prefer not to stand still even when on holiday, we offer: a gym, a multi-sports court, ping-pong, billiards and shooting areas. As you see, you’re not going to get bored!

VIVA Blue & Spa is also a family aparthotel, but based on a slightly different concept, more focused on enjoyment of nature. It is located next to the idyllic S´Albufera Natural Park, which has been declared as a site of national interest by UNESCO. The landscape will simply blow you away! What’s more, it’s a perfect place for combining family holidays and wellbeing, with heaps of activities for children and adults alike.
