Great Kids (and kid friendly hotels)

Recs for friends looking for a very kids focused holiday
(All tried at least once, a few multiple times)

Spain

  • Marbella Club: great kids club, super nice staff.
    (Also possible to stay at the slightly nicer Puente Romano and still go to MCKC, Puente Romano kids club is quite basic) 🌟🌟

    Austria

  • Naturhotel forsthofgut🌟🌟🌟

  • Feuerstein Nature Family Resort🌟🌟

  • Hotel Krallerhof

    Italy

  • Aki Family resort Plose🌟🌟🌟

  • Quellenhof Lado Di Garda🌟

  • Adler Ortisei (Dolomiti)🌟

    UK

  • The Newt in Somerset 🌟🌟🌟
    (while not a kids hotel, it’s quite kids friendly and just a stunning property)

    France

  • Domaine de Manville in Provence. Kids had a great time.

  • Note: Four Seasons Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat did a huge investment in the kids club after our two trips there, looks amazing now
    (and because of our complaints? 😂😂

  • Ritz Carlton Maldives/Patina Maldives (Three trips with kids, they love it)🌟🌟🌟

Dubai:

While Atlantis has the best water park might be a bit overwhelming to stay in.

  • Beach Resort options on the palm: Jumeirah Zabeel Saray, One&Only Palm, Anantara or Waldorf.
    All are big resorts with nice beaches on the palm crescent with good kids clubs and a few mins away form Aquaventure.

  • Beach resort option along the central coast: Four Seasons Beach Resort or Mandarin

  • In The old part of Dubai: Park Hyatt Dubai Creek


  • Kids skiing (moved to ski hotel section)
