As part of the facilities you can find at Club MAC Alcudia, we’ll even be there for you and your family if you need medical help. We have a private doctor at our resort who you can visit during business hours and call 24 hours a day.
First aid essentials
When you holiday at Club MAC Alcudia, you might want to get out into the town and explore Alcudia’s charming streets. But what should you do if one of your kids has a little accident while you’re all out having a good time in Alcudia? We’d suggest you bring a first aid kit. Here are a few essentials you might want to include:
- Medications: If your child regularly takes medication, make sure you have it with at all times.
- Antiseptic spray: If your child gets a minor cut or graze, having antiseptic spray on hand can be very helpful for quick treatment. Containing a fast acting local anaesthetic, this relieves the pain of minor burns, bites, stings and grazes.
- Plasters: Kids have a nasty habit of falling and grazing their knees from time and time. Pack a few plasters so you can patch them up right away if they stumble!
- Dressings: For deeper scratches, it’s a good idea to include dressings in your first aid kit, so you can properly cover any cuts or grazes your kid might pick up while walking the streets of Alcudia. Also include support bandages, which are great for strains and sprains.
- Painkillers: Ensure your child always has access to effective pain relief on holiday. Go for junior painkillers syrups and always follow the instructions on the product.
- Antihistamines: Does your child have an allergy that could flare upon holiday? Include antihistamines in your kit, so you can give them the relief they need to appreciate their Mediterranean getaway. One tablet gives 24 hour relief and is suitable for children over six.
- Re-hydration measures: It can get really hot in Majorca, especially in summer. Therefore, it’s advisable to include re-hydrations solutions and drinks in your first aid kit.
Storing your medication
If you require a fridge to cool your medication, Club MAC has a unit behind reception which can be used for guests. And if you have booked one of our premium or family suites, you’ll find a fridge in the room.
If you stay in a standard room, you can upgrade or we can help you arrange fridge hire from a local company. Prices can be found at this blog post.

Serra de Tramuntana
If you want to see Majorca in all its glory, make time to hike the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range. This stunning range, known as Sa Serra de Tramuntana, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its breathtaking views make it unforgettable. During your stay at Club MAC, this hike is a must. You’ll reach the summit and take in the view. You’ll look out at the island and think, “this is the stuff great holiday memories are made of!”
Five great hiking tips
However, there are certain steps we’d advise you take if you to enjoy everything Serra de Tramuntana has to offer. Here are five things you should do when you’re hiking:
1) Wear sun cream: It gets really hot in Majorca during the summer months. You should make sure you apply sun cream before you set off for a hike, so you’re skin doesn’t burn after spending a few hours exposed to the blazing Spanish sun!
2) Stay hydrated: Make sure you take a bottle of water with you. When you hike up a mountain, you sweat, so you’ll need that water to stay hydrated throughout your walk.
3) Schedule rests: You don’t want to get too tired to enjoy your experience whilst you’re hiking up a mountain. You should schedule breaks every half hour so you can stop, rest and enjoy the views.
4) Dress for the occasion: Have you ever tried walking up a mountain in jeans? We wouldn’t suggest it. You should wear light, breezy clothing e.g. shorts, and sensible shoes to make sure you have the best experience possible whilst hiking in Majorca.
5) Do your research: If you’re not careful when you’re hiking, you could have an accident. You should minimise the risk of accidents by researching your hiking location and plotting your walking path accordingly, before you set out for Serra Tramuntana.

At Club MAC Alcudia, we want every guest to have an unforgettable holiday—including expectant mothers! If you’re traveling to Majorca while pregnant, a little planning can make your trip stress-free and enjoyable. Here are five essential tips to help you make the most of your time at our family-friendly resort.
The perfect place for a family holiday
Located just 900 metres away from the glistening sands of the beach of Alcudia, Club MAC is the perfect place to take a family holiday. If you’re pregnant you may think that this doesn’t apply to you, however you shouldn’t let the fact that you’re about to give birth stop you from enjoying an amazing summer break with your family.
Five tips for traveling to Majorca while pregnant
You can have the time of your life on holiday when you’re pregnant as long as you think ahead. Club MAC would advise that you do the following five things if you travel when you’re expecting:
1) Plan everything
Take your cue from Monica from Friends. She may have been slightly neurotic, but she made life easier for herself because she always planned ahead. Plan everything before you fly out so you can travel safe in the knowledge that you don’t have to worry about a single thing when you’re sunbathing beside one of our pools.
2) Pack sensibly
Think to yourself, “what will I need when I’m travelling?” “What will make my life easier?” Make sure you pack essentials such as blister pads, sunglasses, sun cream, a sensible but fabulous wardrobe and comfy shoes if you want to make sure you have an amazing time when you touch down in Majorca.
3) Take the time to rest
You’re growing another person in your body; that’s a pretty demanding job! Make sure you carve some time out of your itinerary to indulge in a little nap or two, so you can get all the rest you need to appreciate your time away from home. It’s also important to make sure you don’t spend too much time in the sun, as this can be bad for pregnant women because they tend to have low blood pressure.
4) Eat your heart out
You’re eating for two now; enjoy this excuse while it lasts! Make sure you help yourself to generous portions throughout your break. Luckily for you, Club MAC Alcudia is all-inclusive and we have a range of fabulous restaurants for you to choose from! You’ll also want to make sure you drink plenty of fluids to keep yourself hydrated and lower the risk of sunburn.
5) Carry your phone with you
Your first priority is to stay safe at all times when you fly out for a family holiday before you give birth. Keep your phone on you at all times so you can contact us if you need our help whilst you’re staying at Club MAC Alcudia.
Check with your airlines
