Tucked between two serene coves on Mallorca’s southeast coast and a short stroll from the picturesque Porto Petro Marina, IKOS Porto Petro is the kind of place that turns family summer holidays into the stories you tell for years. It’s tranquil, effortlessly elegant, and new to Football Escapes for 2026 – meaning your next football family holiday can be both a first and a favourite.
What makes this resort an instant classic for 2026 family holidays is the balance. Mornings are spent on the pitch with premier league legends, afternoons sink into unhurried time in the sun together – with beaches, pools, boat trips, and long family meals that stretch into golden evenings. It’s a full family holiday with football at its heart, designed to keep every member of the family happy.
Rooms, Suites & Villas to Suit Every Stay
IKOS Porto Petro presents an exceptional range of rooms and suites designed to suit every family size and style of stay. From spacious Family Rooms and Junior Suites that open onto lush gardens, to Superior Rooms with private pools, each space combines soft Mediterranean tones, natural textures, and contemporary comfort. Every accommodation option reflects the same effortless elegance and thoughtful design that define the IKOS experience.
For 2026, IKOS Porto Petro raises the bar. New Deluxe Three- and Four-Bedroom Villas offer larger families true seclusion with private gardens and infinity pools – a true Mallorcan home-from-home experience, with the incredible service of a five-star resort. In addition, an elegant new area of One Bedroom Suites is arranged around a sparkling new central pool area – providing a refined option for couples or smaller families seeking a little extra tranquillity.
The Football Escapes rhythm: confidence for kids, calm for parents
Children will train each morning with our UEFA-licensed coaches and some of the best in the game, learning new skills, building their confidence, and celebrating every small win with their new team mates.
While the kids are busy, parents finally get what every family holiday promises and seldom delivers: real downtime. That might be a quiet coffee with a sea view, a swim in one of five crystalline pools, or unhurried time in the IKOS Spa – complete with a sauna and steam room, indoor spa pool, personalised treatments with Anne Semonin Paris products, and complimentary access from 8am – 8pm. Here, rest isn’t an afterthought; it’s part of the plan.
What you’ll do together (and remember forever)
Between football sessions, family experiences come easily. Calm bays invite paddleboarding, canoeing, and pedalo adventures. Explore scenic routes and local villages as a family with complimentary bike rental. Or take to the water for private boat tours and exclusive excursions, explore hidden coves or take in the beauty of the coast as the sun sets.
For families who love to stay active, IKOS Porto Petro makes it effortless. The resort’s three tennis courts overlook the coast, while the brand-new padel courts add a fun, fast-paced challenge for both parents and kids. There’s a 24-hour fitness studio and daily wellness classes including Zumba, aqua aerobics, and Pilates, so you can start the day however suits you best.
Come together for a game of giant chess, sing your heart out with the kids at kids’ karaoke, keep the game going with a friendly game on the resort’s mini football pitch, or watch as the kids enjoy team sports and organised games with new friends.
If you love to explore, the IKOS Local Drive Adventure includes a complimentary electric car which is yours for the day. Explore the island at your own pace with rugged coastline, fishing villages, and hidden bays waiting to be explored. Combine the ease of the Local Drive Adventure with the new IKOS Culture Pass. Discover even more of Mallorca with complimentary entry to selected historic museums and monuments – an easy way to add a dash of discovery to your family summer holiday without over-planning.
Evenings at IKOS Porto Petro suit every member of the family with a range of evening entertainment. Expect vibrant shows, live music and DJ sets or settle in for cosy movie nights. Plan your night to perfection with the IKOS app – including real-time event and performance listings.
Mediterranean ease, tailored to families
Reaching Porto Petro couldn’t be easier – with an average flight time of 2.5 hours from London, followed by a scenic drive of less than an hour from Palma de Mallorca Airport. But the ease doesn’t stop when you arrive; it’s woven into every part of the experience.
From the moment you book, our Guest Experience Team takes care of the details that turn a good holiday into an unforgettable one. They’re here to make every stay seamless – from arranging airport transfers and guiding you through entry requirements, to ensuring your family has everything you need when you arrive. If you’d like to schedule spa treatments, reserve your table at a favourite restaurant, or plan extra activities between sessions – the team will make it happen.
Their role is to help you build a week that fits your family perfectly: the kids having the time of their lives on the pitch each morning, parents relaxing by the sea, and afternoons spent together as a family – exploring, dining, or simply soaking up the sun. No request is too big or too small; every moment is considered. It’s this level of personal care that defines the Football Escapes difference – a full family holiday experience made effortless, from start to finish.
A resort designed around family happiness
IKOS Porto Petro places families at the heart of everything. Age-tailored kids’ clubs run throughout the day.
