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 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 Mallorca
Zafiro Palace Alcudia
Spacious modern suites built for families, from Junior Suites up to Two Bedroom Penthouses sleeping six. The clever ones are the Swim Up Suites, where your terrace opens straight onto a shared shallow pool, and the private pool suites for families who want their own splash. Sofa beds, big bathrooms and proper wardrobe space throughout.
in Tenerife
GF Victoria
Every room is a suite, most with a separate lounge and a sofa bed, so a family of four never has to share one open space. Junior suites suit couples with a baby, and the larger suites give teens their own corner.
in Tenerife
Royal Hideaway Corales Suites
The reason to book: 114 designer apartments from one to three bedrooms, each with a full kitchen and sea views, some with a private hot tub or plunge pool. Genuinely the smart choice for families who want space plus a five-star address.
in Crete
Domes Zeen Chania, a Luxury Collection Resort
Low-slung bungalows and suites arranged around a leafy central agora, many with a private or semi-private pool a step from the terrace. The Family Bungalows and Open Plan Suites add a separate living area, so you can put little ones down and still have your own space and your own plunge pool for the evening.
in Antalya
Rixos Premium Belek
Big, comfortable rooms across several categories, with the family-sized options adding either connecting doors or a separate living space so parents are not tiptoeing past a cot at 8pm. Cots and bed rails are free on request, and higher categories come with a proper sofa bed for an older child.
in Mallorca
The St. Regis Mardavall Mallorca Resort
Just 125 spacious rooms and suites, most with a sea view terrace and famous St. Regis butler service. Suites and connecting rooms give families room to spread out in real comfort, with marble bathrooms and quality throughout. This is the grown up, low key luxury end of family travel.
in Tenerife
Iberostar Selection Anthelia
Comfortable, classic rooms with balconies, and family rooms that sleep four without feeling cramped. Ask for a garden or pool view rather than the road side.
in Crete
Grecotel Creta Palace
One of the widest family line-ups on the island: garden and sea-view rooms, family rooms and two-bedroom bungalows, plus villas with private pools. Many families pick a bungalow with direct garden access, so children can potter outside while you keep an eye from the terrace.
in Antalya
ELA Excellence Resort Belek
Bright, well-kept rooms with family options that add a separate kids' area or connecting layout, and a strong reputation for keeping little ones happy. Baby and toddler equipment is well organised here, from cots and bottle warmers to a dedicated baby buffet, which sets it apart from resorts that treat under-fives as an afterthought.
in Antalya
Lara Barut Collection
Comfortable, contemporary rooms with a good number of family layouts that sleep two adults and two children without feeling squeezed. The standout here is location as much as the rooms: you are on the Lara strip, minutes from the airport, so the transfer that tires everyone out is mercifully short.
in The Algarve
Tivoli Alvor Algarve Resort
A big resort with 491 rooms and suites across lush gardens, including plenty of family rooms and connecting options. It is an all-inclusive property, so the room is really your base between pools, buffets and the beach shuttle rather than somewhere you will spend long days.

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.
