Family holiday ideas
🌴All-inclusive family resorts
Meals, drinks, a free kids club and evening entertainment on one bill. Where all-inclusive genuinely pays off with kids.
All-inclusive earns its keep with a family: no counting the cost of every ice cream, and a free kids club that buys the adults an actual evening. These resorts do it well, with a real all-day club, a family buffet with an early sitting, and enough pools that nobody fights over a lounger. We flag the ones where the club is genuinely free, not a paid add-on.
Our picks
in Lanzarote
Princesa Yaiza Suite Hotel Resort
Elegant suites and family suites in a low rise resort at the quiet end of Playa Blanca, most with a terrace or balcony. Family suites give you a separate lounge and a second bathroom, so bedtime and early mornings stay calm.
in Kos
Ikos Aria
Large rooms, suites and bungalows in gardens sloping to Kamari Bay, most with a sea or garden view. Two-bedroom family suites and swim-up options mean parents and older kids get their own space, and cots and bed rails are standard. This is the room configuration that makes a long week with little ones actually restful.
in Halkidiki
Sani Beach
Bright, contemporary rooms, family rooms and suites spread through a huge private reserve, most steps from the sand. Family rooms and connecting options give parents and older kids their own space, and cots and baby kits are easy to arrange in advance.
in Sharm El Sheikh
Rixos Premium Seagate
Large, contemporary rooms and family rooms, most with a balcony and pool or garden views. Family rooms sleep four to five and connecting-room options make it easy to give teens their own space next door.
in Costa del Sol
Kempinski Hotel Bahía
Spacious, genuinely luxurious rooms and family suites with fine linens and marble bathrooms. Baby equipment and bottle sterilisation come on request, so travelling with little ones is properly catered for.
in Fuerteventura
Gran Hotel Atlantis Bahia Real
Spacious rooms and family suites in a Moorish-style palace, most with sea or dune views. Family suites have two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms, so parents and older kids are not sharing one space.
in Halkidiki
Ikos Olivia
Smart, recently refreshed rooms, family rooms and bungalows set in green gardens by the sea. Family rooms and two-bedroom options give real breathing room, and many have direct garden or pool access that toddlers love.
in Dubai
Atlantis The Palm
Big, solid rooms across two wings, nearly all with sea or Palm views, plus larger suites that give children their own corner. Connecting rooms are easy to request and cots are standard, so a family of four or five fits without anyone sleeping on a folding bed.
in Guadeloupe
Club Med La Caravelle
Rooms and family rooms set in low-rise buildings across tropical gardens, most a short walk from the beach. Family rooms and connecting rooms give parents and children a bit of separate space, and cots are free for babies.
in Mauritius
Trou aux Biches Beachcomber Golf Resort & Spa
Everything is a suite here, from garden suites with a shared pool crescent to two and three bedroom villas with a private pool, kitchen and butler service. Family suites give you a separate children's bedroom and a proper living area, so bedtime does not end the evening for the adults.
in Costa Navarino
The Romanos, a Luxury Collection Resort, Costa Navarino
The most polished rooms in the Dunes, with infinity-view suites and family options that sleep four to five. Many ground-floor rooms have private or shared pools you step straight into, ideal for toddlers, and cots, bottle warmers and baby kit come on request. Interconnecting family suites give teens their own door while keeping everyone together.
in Gran Canaria
Lopesan Baobab Resort
Rooms are dressed up as an African lodge, and the family rooms add a sofa bed so four sleep without anyone on the floor. Ask for a pool-view room on a lower floor if you have a toddler and a buggy, it saves the lift queue.

Is the kids club really included?
Not always, even at all-inclusive resorts. Some charge 50 to 100 euros a day for it. Every hotel here has a genuinely free club, and we say so.
