Top Family-Friendly Activities at The Mora

1. Kids Club & Family Experiences

We know that even super-parents need a break.

With trained childcare professionals and anytime play spaces, your little ones are in safe hands while you enjoy a romantic stroll along the beach or a peaceful spa session.

2. Swimming and Water Fun

Choose between our outdoor swimming pool, private pool villas, or the calm turquoise waters just steps from the resort. While all areas are child-friendly, swimming is at your own risk and under parental supervision, as no lifeguards are present.
