The Barceló Costa Ballena stands out as a family hotel thanks to its range of services, entertainment programmes and facilities designed especially for families with children.

For children, there is nothing better than our Barcy Club and Maxi Club. It has a great team of monitors and has a programme of water-based activities, sports and games that changes every year so that children can have fun while their parents either relax or join in. In addition, it features a bouncy castle and an outdoor children's playground.

Barcy Club: for children between 4 and 12. Children under 4 years old must be accompanied by an adult.

The Barceló Hotel Group offers unique experiences with our latest concept: Happy Minds. A programme designed for children aged 4 to 12 years old, inspired by the theory of seven intelligence types.

Enjoy a well-earned holiday while your children learn and have fun at the Barcy Club, with a great variety of games and workshops adapted to their preferences, abilities and skills:

Planet & Defenders: promoting the best environmental practices through exploration, adventure and discovery of the planet, as well as the importance of saving water: our most precious natural resource.

Hand & Creators: developing handicraft and painting skills, and everything related to art.

Music & Actors: passion for theatre, music, dance, cinema and anything to do with the performing arts.

Lab & Makers: construction, research and scientific experimentation with natural elements like solar energy, wind power and the strength of gravity.

Mystery & Magicians: going beyond magic with riddle solving, robotics, puzzles and Makey Makey, a kit for creating fun inventions.

Circus & Artists: the perfect place for versatile and skilful kids who just love making jokes, laughing and entertaining others.

Barcy & Friends: have fun with our Barcy mascot and the Barcy Rap, rehearsing for the flash mob or in the video editing workshop using our innovative app.

Maxi Club for children between 13 and 17.

The hotel has a room especially for teenagers aged between 12 and 17 where they can enjoy a range of fun activities in a relaxed atmosphere, including table football, table tennis or pool. All with the support of our great entertainment team.

Please note: open in high season. For other dates check with the hotel. In the summer season, children can also enjoy the mini-dinners, assisted by our team of entertainment staff. The mini-dinner substitutes the accommodation type booked.
