4. Not a chavvy place
5. Near beach
6. Suitable for kids but not parent hell either
I doubt any of you moonlight as travel advisors but I'm only asking in case anyone here can personally recommend a place
I find that some hotels and villa's can be quite dull for kids as unless you entertain them they are on their own.
Whilst a bit 'cheap' (but still not spa chavvy!) try Eurocamp or similar - the kids may love the kids clubs etc

A couple of parts of Majorca that maybe aren't as well known:

OK, this one is a bit busier, but some nice bars/restaurants around the marina:

Surely any self respecting contractor will already have a bolt hole in the sun.
Anyway we used these guys before we got our place in Spain

Have a look at Split and the area around. They've got beaches and is growing as a summer holiday destination but you've got the old towns to explore to break it up so a bit of something for everyone. Quite a few villas with pools but you've got the sea side as well. Self catering will keep the costs down so can spend a bit more on the villa/evenings.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostYeah did exactly the same. We followed the guides recommended route so was a bit touristy at each location. Should have just set off in a direction and gone to explore. Noted for next time.
Masilinca (Solta)
Vis (from there out to Bisevo)
Komiza
Marinkovak
Milna (Brac)
I'm sure there was somewhere else, but can't work out where it was.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
