THE Balearics or Blighty \u2013 which will you pick this autumn?<\/p>\n

Zafiro Mallorca, Mallorca<\/h2>\n

Lifestyle Editor Catherine Bennion-Pedley found a kids\u2019 haven on the Spanish isle.<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The Pad<\/strong>: A pirate ship kids\u2019 pool and inflatable bubble slide make this place a winner for little ones. <\/p>\n

Lying in a green oasis in the not-so-pretty \u201960s resort of Ca\u2019n Picafort, Zafiro Mallorca will delight under-sevens, as well as those handy with a hob and on a budget \u2013 the spacious, recently refreshed apartments have small kitchenettes, too. <\/p>\n

For lazier evenings, the main restaurant serves up a plentiful themed buffet each night, while the playground \u2013 complete with bouncy castle \u2013 sits handily right outside it. <\/p>\n

Hotel mascot Yzzy, a pirate koala, charms kids with regular appearances and the main pool is the perfect depth for learners. <\/p>\n

<\/picture>THE BIG PINK <\/span><\/p>\n

Free balloon animals and face painting in the evenings go down a treat, plus there\u2019s an adults-only pool surrounded by Bali beds, if you manage to rope the grandparents into coming, too!<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Explore<\/strong>: The old town of Alc\u00fadia is just a 25-minute drive away, and makes for some light culture. <\/p>\n

Walk the medieval walls then wander the pretty streets, making sure you stop by perfumery Agua de Baleares for a spritz of olive wood and black juniper scents (Aguadebaleares.com), as well as the foodie heaven that is Baccus. <\/p>\n

Mallorcan wine is excellent, so pick up a Pecat red and salmon-hued ros\u00e9 here, alongside other edible souvenirs like olive oil, honey, and cocoa-dusted almonds. <\/p>\n

Plus, you\u2019ll find chic island-made sandals at Audali Alc\u00fadia, then lunch at Basico Gastrobar with its hidden courtyard and tapas treats. <\/p>\n

Order the pa amb oli (AKA bread and oil) with ham and mahon cheese, \u00a314, and the super-garlicky prawns, \u00a315. <\/p>\n

Sip a glass of red, \u00a35, as you go. Later, drop by Giovanni L for delicious gelato \u2013 we loved the kiwi and pistachio flavours, \u00a33 for two scoops.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss<\/strong>: Alc\u00fadia beach has huge, wide swathes of sand and shallow waters, plus the sea is much calmer than at Ca\u2019n Picafort, with its narrower stretch. <\/p>\n

Fancy horse riding with a petting farm on-site? <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find a warm welcome at Ranxo Ses Roques, 20 minutes\u2019 drive away, with pony rides, \u00a39, and a little play area. <\/p>\n

One-hour excursions cost \u00a325 per person (Ranxosesroques.com). <\/p>\n

The peaceful wetlands of the S\u2019Albufera Nature Reserve are also super-close \u2013 perfect for cycling and spotting loads of different birds, while a tad further is Museu Sa Bassa Blanca\u2019s sculpture park with its giant animal art. <\/p>\n

Entry costs \u00a38 per adult, under-sevens go free (Msbb.org).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Book it<\/strong>: A week\u2019s stay self-catering for a family of four at Zafiro Mallorca with Jet2holidays starts from \u00a3449 per person, including return flights from the UK with 22kg luggage, plus resort transfers (Jet2holidays.com).<\/p>\n

Polurrian on the Lizard, Cornwall<\/h2>\n

Senior Designer Jade Leighfield checked into a coastal beauty in South-West England.<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

The Pad<\/strong>: Sitting atop the cliffs with sea views aplenty, this gem of a hotel is all vintage glamour meets coastal vibes. <\/p>\n

With tennis courts, an outdoor and indoor swimming pool and a games room with air hockey and pool tables, you won\u2019t get bored.<\/p>\n

But book the Elemis Coastal Trio \u2013 a back, neck and shoulder massage, express facial and luxe scalp massage \u2013 at the spa for pure bliss, \u00a375 for 60 minutes. <\/p>\n

For the ultimate family treat, check into the Island Suite with its three bedrooms, kitchenette and hot tub on the terrace, then take the hotel\u2019s Nosmoke electric buggy for a spin. <\/p>\n

Come evening, tuck into duck liver parfait with poached rhubarb, dill and orange, \u00a39, and 10oz rump steak, vine cherry tomatoes, portobello mushroom and chips, \u00a329. <\/p>\n

For dessert, the white chocolate and pistachio torte is to die for.<\/p>\n

Explore<\/strong>: Take the coastal path at the end of the garden and within 10 minutes you\u2019ll hit Polurrian Cove, a secluded sandy beach perfect for picnics and body boarding. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Walk a little further for Poldhu Cove and its beach cafe with bacon, brie and cranberry toasted ciabattas, \u00a36.95, and mega #Poldhutastic hot chocolates topped with Reese\u2019s Pieces on mountains of cream, \u00a34. <\/p>\n

Kynance Cove makes for a glorious 75-minute walk \u2013 or if you\u2019ve got small kids in tow, a short drive! <\/p>\n

Poldark fans will recognise it as Ross and Demelza\u2019s beach at Nampara \u2013 and, thanks to its white sand and turquoise waters, this National Trust spot is often voted one of the world\u2019s most beautiful beaches.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss<\/strong>: Just five minutes\u2019 drive away in Mullion village is the Old Inn, a traditional thatched pub. <\/p>\n

Order hunter\u2019s chicken, \u00a315, with a Cornish Rattler cider (Oldinnmullion.co.uk). <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at Lizard Point \u2013 a 20-minute drive away \u2013 the panoramic views are something else. <\/p>\n

Plus, you may even spy seals and dolphins!<\/p>\n
