Blue Sea Mediodia (ex Hotel Mediodia)

Set on the picturesque Spanish island of Majorca, the 3-star Blue Sea Mediodia boasts a prime location, just 50 metres from Playa de Palma’s sprawling coastline. This Blue Flag beach is perfect for small children thanks to its shallow waters and soft, golden sand. Speaking of families, you’re just a 15-minute walk from one of Majorca’s best waterparks, while the capital Palma can be easily reached in a day trip.

In terms of facilities, this hotel has everything you’ll need for an enjoyable stay. There’s an outdoor pool with a children’s section, perfect for soaking up that Balearic Island sun. Or, if you want to escape the heat for a couple of hours, you can always head indoors for a game of pool or to grab a cold drink from the lounge bar.

If you're craving something a little more substantial in between sunbathing sessions, you’ll be happy to discover the onsite restaurant. Depending on your board basis (bed and breakfast, half board or all-inclusive) all of your meals will be served here. The food is buffet style so you can expect everything from eggs, bacon and cereal in the morning, followed by a great selection of tasty light bites during lunch. Come dinner, take your pick from meat, fish and vegetable dishes, before making a beeline for the dessert corner with its variety of sweet options, from cake to ice cream.

For more dining options, you’ll have plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from in the lively streets of El Arenal. Just steps from your hotel you’ll find eateries serving everything from traditional Spanish fare right down to international favourites including Chinese and Indian.

After a bit of exploring, your stylish room is the place to fully recharge. Equipped with all the essentials, you’ll have a telephone, satellite TV, air-conditioning, free high-speed WiFi, private bathroom with hairdryer and safe (additional charge) as standard. There’s a choice of single and double rooms, which both come with a balcony or terrace, a nice addition for private alfresco drinks. Double rooms without a balcony are also available if you don’t require the extra outdoor space.
