You’ll find a night time market set up around the lake, near the quiet area, which is present every single day . To whet your appetite and tickle your shopping tastebuds, we’ve written a taster of what you can expect to find at the market. Get those Euros ready – there’s something for everyone, from food, crafts, toys and much more

Locally made souvenirs

You’ll find a stand laden with beautiful handmade items that you’ll be dying to snap up and take back home. Whether it’s a present for people not with you, or a family memento of your holiday, you’ll fall in love with the craftmanship.

Choose from wooden items that can be personalised with your family name, or talk with the local craftsman who can make you anything you like out of metal wire.

The perfect toy

There’s everything you can think of at the toy stall. As well as traditional toys like cuddly dogs, toy cars and Lego, you’ll also find the ‘must have’ toys of the year, like fidget spinners. Whether you’re looking for something to play with on holiday or to take home and treasure, you’ll find the perfect toy.

Update your phone case

A personalised mobile phone cover is an innovative way to remember your holiday at Club MAC. It’s the souvenir you didn’t know you wanted. The craftsman has an engraving machine. They can create a specialist phone case from any type of metal you choose.

Take home an expertly drawn caricature

There’s nothing quite like a skilled caricature, and you can treat yourself to one at the night market. Go for a family pose, or just yourself – it’ll look great hanging up at home!

Get your kids a tattoo!

Don’t worry, it’s not a real tattoo. It’s a special salon that creates tattoo transfers for kids. They come in loads of different designs and are waterproof, so won’t get washed away in the pool. The tattoos will delight your kids and should last around a month, so will be a lovely reminder of the holiday when you get back home.

Waffles and crepes

Even with all of our lovely food on site, sometimes you just want an extra treat in the evening. The night market has a stall offering delicious freshly made crepes and waffles, with loads of different toppings. There are more than 15 flavour combinations, including strawberries, ice cream and Nutella. Delicious!

To make sure your family has a fabulous time at Club MAC Alcudia, this week we’ve decided to let you know how you can teach your kids to swim.

Underwater adventure

If you want to provide your family with the underwater adventure of a lifetime, you should fly out to Club MAC Alcudia this summer. A first-rate family holiday resort in Alcudia, Majorca, not only we have eight swimming pools, but we just so happen to be located a stone’s throw away from the Mediterranean Sea!

But your kids won’t be able to enjoy all the water-based activities they’re destined to encounter when they come to Club MAC if they can’t swim. Therefore, it may fall to you to teach them how to master this essential life skill, before you travel out for a week of fun in the sun-drenched climes of Majorca.

Five teaching tips  

It can be hard to get kids to learn to swim, but if you use the following five tips, you’ll have your kids gliding through the water like pros before you set foot on Majorcan soil:

1)      Put safety first: Your kids will fail before they succeed. As a parent you need to create a safe learning environment, so your kids can fail without putting themselves in danger.

2)      Be positive: You need to build up your child’s confidence if you’re ever going to give them the ability to swim on their own. You should create a positive environment, so you can provide your child with the confidence they need to conquer the water.

3)      Progress gradually: Don’t allow a beginner to swim before they can paddle. You should teach simple swimming skills first, and progress onto more difficult abilities gradually, so you can give your children the space they need to master one skill at a time.

4)      Use aids: The best swimming instructors use aids such as flotation devices, kickboards and inflatables. These tools will provide your kids with the support they need to transition from amateur paddlers to expert swimmers.

5)      Make learning fun: Every school teacher who’s ever lived will tell you that kids don’t pay attention when they’re bored. Therefore you need to make learning to swim fun. You could, for example, employ the use of pool-based games and turn learning to swim into an underwater adventure of its very own!

Give your kids an adventure!

Teaching your children to swim will be tough work, but it’ll be so worth the effort. It’ll allow you to give your kids the skills they need to set off on an epic underwater adventure when they travel out to Club MAC Alcudia for the holiday of a lifetime!
