Planning a family vacation in Mallorca? Between the sun-soaked beaches, the cobbled streets of Palma, and the peaceful countryside, there’s no better place to make memories — and capture them beautifully.
As a husband-and-wife photography team raising our two daughters on this island, we know how fast family moments pass. That’s why we believe in documenting them, not just perfectly posed photos, but the real in-between moments: sandy toes, giggles, snuggles, and all.
Whether you’re here on a week-long vacation, visiting relatives, or even living in Mallorca, these are our 6 favorite family-friendly locations for unforgettable photoshoots across the island.
Each location offers something different — from iconic beaches and rustic olive groves to charming city scenes and even the comfort of your own Airbnb or home. No matter your family’s style, we’ll help you find a setting that feels just right.
Our TOP 6 family-friendly locations for a photoshoot in Majorca:
📍 1. Playa de Muro – Best Beach for Family Photos in Mallorca
Located in the north of the island, Playa de Muro is one of the most beloved beaches for family photography — and for good reason. With its long stretch of golden sand, shallow turquoise waters, and tranquil vibe, it’s a safe and scenic haven for kids to play freely while we capture natural moments.
We adore shooting here at sunrise or sunset, when the light becomes warm and magical, creating glowing portraits without harsh shadows.
🧡 Why we love it: Gorgeous scenery, space to move, perfect light.
👨👩👧👦 Great for: Families, maternity sessions, multi-generational shoots.
Insider tip: Bring towels and a spare change of clothes — little ones often get wet after having fun in the sea.
For families who love nature and a bit of off-the-beaten-path beauty, Playa de S’Amarador is a true gem. Nestled in Mondragó Natural Park, this beach feels wild and untouched, surrounded by pine forests and rocky paths.
The crystal-clear water and soft white sand create a dreamy setting, especially during early morning sessions when the beach is quiet and the light is gentle.
🧡 Why we love it: Secluded beauty, natural textures, calming energy.
🌿 Great for: Nature-loving families, barefoot sessions, adventurous little explorers.
Bonus: Combine your shoot with a little hike or beach picnic — we can capture it all!

📍 3. Old Town Palma – Elegant Backdrops and Soft City Light
Looking for something beyond the beach? Palma’s old town offers a completely different feel — and it’s equally beautiful. Its winding alleys, old stone buildings, colorful shutters, and charming doors create a timeless, cinematic setting for your photos.
If your kids are still in a stroller or you’re planning a session during cooler months, the old town provides shade, variety, and a relaxed pace. Plus, it’s stroller-friendly and full of little nooks to explore.
🧡 Why we love it: History, texture, elegance.
👶 Great for: Families with babies, city breaks, winter or spring sessions.
Extra tip: We love to grab a photo or two outside a favorite café — coffee in hand, little ones snuggled close.
📍 4. Your Home – A Window Into Your Real Life
Some of the most powerful images come from the place that holds your everyday magic: your home. Whether you live in Mallorca or you’re staying here long enough to make your space your own, in-home sessions are deeply personal and truly meaningful.
We capture the small, beautiful moments — breakfast in pajamas, a tickle fight on the couch, reading stories on the bed, kids drawing or dancing barefoot on the terrace. These are the memories you’ll want to keep forever.
🧡 Why we love it: It’s where real life happens — raw, cozy, honest.
👶 Great for: Everyone.
Thought to hold onto: One day, this home will just be a memory — these photos become part of your family’s visual legacy.
📍 5. Olive Groves in Serra de Tramuntana – Rustic & Timeless
If you’re dreaming of earthy, sun-drenched images in nature, the ancient olive tree groves in the Serra de Tramuntana mountains are pure magic. These timeless landscapes offer rich textures, soft filtered light, and peaceful surroundings.
🧡 Why we love it: Natural simplicity, rustic charm, old-world Mallorca.
🫒 Great for: Maternity, barefoot siblings, nature-focused families.
Optional extras: Bring a blanket or basket — this is a dreamy place for soft storytelling moments.
📍 6. Your Hotel or Airbnb – Effortless Vacation Storytelling
You don’t always need to go far for beautiful photos. Some of the most genuine images happen right where you’re staying — especially when it’s a stylish Airbnb, boutique hotel, or finca. These sessions are relaxed, fun, and full of emotion, whether it’s breakfast on the patio, a swim in the pool, or storytime in bed.
Plus, staying in one place keeps kids calm and comfy, and gives us the perfect window into what your Mallorca holiday looked and felt like.
🧡 Why we love it: It’s real, personal, and requires zero travel time for you.
☀️ Great for: Families with babies or toddlers, short sessions, cozy storytelling.
