Iberostar Ciudad Blanca

Boasting a beachfront location, overlooking the majestic Bay of Alcudia, Iberostar Ciudad Blanca is the ideal choice for a family getaway. Chill on a sunlounger alongside the large lagoon-like swimming pool, while the little ones have fun in the themed splash pool with slides. When it comes to sports there’s something to suit everyone, with paddle boarding, ping pong, golf, tennis and squash among the options on offer.

Iberostar’s Star Camp programme splits activities and entertainment for children into three age groups. 4-7 year olds can learn to swing in the jungle themed monkey club, those in the 8-12 group can swim down to the underwater world of the dolphins, while teenagers can fly off with the eagles. Meanwhile, overworked parents can get a relaxing massage with aromatic oils. Alternatively, feel like a million dollars with the gold therapy or settle for the sweet smelling chocolate option.

The Bellviure restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There are regular Mediterranean, Japanese and Mexican themed evening meals. As it’s a buffet feel free to eat as much as you like. There’s also an outdoor terrace so why not enjoy rice & lobster, while breathing in the fresh sea air. During the summer Sea Soul Beach Club is open 12 hours a day and serves a la carte dishes. Everything on the menu allows you to experience the finest Mediterranean flavours, whether you opt for prawns, squid or ham.

The Tramuntana bar is open from 10am to midnight, offering a variety of soft and alcoholic beverages, which you can devour while enjoying the entertainment. After 6pm order the best cocktails to consume while watching the sunset from Playa Blanca. Three nights a week there is live music.

The air conditioned apartments have space for up to six adults. You will have your own kitchenette, giving you the choice of whether you prepare your own food or eat in one of the restaurants. The nearest supermarkets are under 1km away, so you don’t have to go far to top up your supplies. Choose whether you have a double or twin bed. The living area is equipped with two sofa beds and a 32” TV. The 30m2 studios have space for up to two adults and are equipped with a queen sized bed or two singles and a kitchenette.

Thanks to the handy bus stop, the nearby walled city of Alcudia is just 15 minutes away. Within the fortifications you will find the 13th century Orati de Santa Anna church. While the Monographic Museum presents archaeological exhibits from Roman times. These include amphorae (storage jars), coins, marble tablets and mosaics.

Majorca’s relatively small size means day trips are possible to places on the other side of the island. The capital, Palma de Mallorca, is a further destination available by direct bus from the hotel. Don’t miss the famous seafront cathedral, afterwards explore the Old Town's cobbled streets or head into the Arabic quarter, known for its art galleries and boutiques.
