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 Maldives
Soneva Fushi
Soneva Fushi practically invented the barefoot-luxury family villa, and its huge one-to-nine-bedroom houses are built for multi-generational trips. The two-storey Crusoe and Soneva villas have private pools, direct beach access and room for cots, extra beds and nannies without anyone feeling squeezed. Interconnecting and multi-bedroom configurations mean a toddler can nap while older kids stay up, and every villa comes with a bike and a personal host to smooth the details.
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

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

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

in Dubai

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 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 Maldives
Amilla Maldives
Amilla is a design-led island that takes families seriously, with airy villas and standout multi-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom lagoon villas sleep four comfortably and stretch to six, while the treetop and beach pool villas suit a family of four with a toddler in tow. Cribs, strollers, changing tables, babysitting and nanny services are all on request, and the multi-bedroom residences are a genuine option for two families travelling together.
in Bali
Four Seasons Resort Bali at Jimbaran Bay
This is a resort of private villas, not rooms, and that changes everything with children. Each of the 147 Balinese villas has its own walled garden and plunge pool, so bath time, naps and toddler meltdowns all happen behind your own gate. One, two and three-bedroom layouts scale from a couple with a baby to three generations together, and family villas sit steps from the playground and pools. Cots and babysitting are complimentary, children under twelve stay free and under-fives eat free, which softens the sting of the price.
in Orlando
Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World
Some of the most spacious, polished family rooms in Orlando, with large bathrooms, thoughtful storage and connecting suites for multi-generational trips. Cots, bed rails, bottle warmers and childproofing are provided free on request, and the service quietly anticipates what families with babies need. It is a true five-star room that still works with a toddler in tow.
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.
in Cyprus
Parklane, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, Limassol
Polished, generously sized rooms and suites, with family suites and interconnecting options that give parents a separate space. Many rooms have sea or garden views, and the resort is set up for babies with cots, bottle warmers and baby kit available, worth booking a suite if you want room to breathe with a young family.
in Corfu
Ikos Dassia
Rooms and suites spread through mature gardens running down to the sea, most with a balcony or terrace. Family rooms and two-bedroom suites give you a door to close at 8pm, and the bungalow suites with private garden or pool are the ones parents of toddlers keep rebooking. Cots, bottle sterilisers and bath supports are free on request, but ask early because stock is finite.
in Sal

The newest big-name resort on the island, with bright contemporary rooms and family rooms, most with a balcony and many facing the sea. Family rooms and suites give you room to spread out, and connecting rooms are worth requesting for four or more.

in Dubai

in Djerba
Radisson Blu Palace Resort & Thalasso Djerba
Large, recently renovated rooms and family rooms set in low palace-style blocks among gardens, most with a balcony or terrace facing the pools, gardens or sea. Family rooms and connecting rooms sleep four comfortably, so you are not squeezing everyone into one space.

in Istria
Family Hotel Amarin by Maistra Select
276 rooms and four suites in eight layouts, from 28 to 74 square metres. A lot of them connect through a door, which is the single most useful thing here for a family of four or five, and rollaway beds are standard rather than a fight.
in Costa Navarino
The Westin Resort Costa Navarino
Big, bright rooms and family suites, many opening straight onto pool or garden, so little ones can be watched from the sofa. Family suites and interconnecting rooms sleep four to five comfortably, with room for cots, and the Family Guestrooms come pre-stocked with kid touches. Ground-floor swim-up options let toddlers reach the water without stairs.
in Bali
The Mulia, Mulia Resort & Villas
Everything here is oversized, and that works in a family's favour. Even entry-level suites run to 130 sqm with a separate living area and space for two adults and two children under twelve, so no one is climbing over a suitcase. Ocean-facing suites put the calm Geger Beach lagoon a lift ride away, and the villas add private pools and multiple bedrooms for larger groups. Cots come free on request, and the sheer size of the rooms makes early bedtimes and toddler naps far less of a battle.
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

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 Cyprus

Beautiful village-style rooms and suites tumbling down a green hillside to the sea, many with sea views, some with a private or shared pool.

in Kos
Kos Imperial
Rooms, bungalows and family suites terraced down a hillside to the sea at Psalidi, many with sea views and some with a private or shared pool.

in Riviera Maya
Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Riviera Maya
Everything is a suite, most of them big enough for a family of four without anyone on a pull-out, and the swim-up Pads open straight onto a shared lagoon pool. The showpiece is the Pineapple Suite, the two-storey SpongeBob house that sleeps up to six with its own splash pool and a slide indoors. Cots and bed rails come free, bottle warmers and sterilisers are on request, and orange Nickelodeon detailing runs through the lot.

Low-slung bungalows and suites arranged around a leafy central agora, many with a private or semi-private pool a step from the terrace.

in Antalya
Rixos Premium Belek

in Sardinia
Hotel Cala di Volpe, a Luxury Collection Hotel
An icon of Costa Smeralda designed to look like a Mediterranean fishing village, with rooms and suites full of terracotta, timber and handmade tiles. Connecting rooms and larger suites work for families, but this is a grown-up luxury hotel first: there is no wall-to-wall family kit, and the family offering sits alongside a very adult scene.

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 Sardinia
Baglioni Resort Sardinia
Contemporary rooms and suites in low buildings a few steps from a long sandy beach on the north-east coast. Family rooms and suites give two adults and two children real space, and the calm, spread-out layout keeps buggy naps and early bedtimes easy.
in Costa Blanca
Melia Villaitana
Rooms and suites sit in low pastel buildings styled like a Mediterranean village, connected by cobbled walkways. Family rooms and suites give proper separation for early bedtimes, and the quieter you go from the main square, the calmer the nights.
in Sicily
Verdura Resort
203 rooms and suites, all with a sea view and all on one or two low floors spread through 230 hectares of countryside, so you never queue for a lift with a pushchair. Families mostly land in the Junior Suites or the communicating doubles, and the layout (terrace, then lawn, then sea) means a sleeping baby is never far from where you are sitting. The trade-off is walking: your room can be a genuine ten minutes from the kids club, and the resort buggies are the difference between charmed and exhausted.
in Fuerteventura
H10 Tindaya
Bright, updated rooms and family rooms in a well-kept four-star, a short walk across to Costa Calma beach.
in Lanzarote
Dreams Lanzarote Playa Dorada Resort & Spa
Bright rooms and family rooms right above Playa Dorada, many with sea or pool views. Family rooms sleep up to four, and the ground floor rooms open onto the gardens for easy pool access.
in Kos
Marmari Palace by Mitsis
Comfortable rooms and family rooms in blocks set among gardens above a long sandy Marmari beach. Family rooms sleep up to four and connecting rooms are available for larger groups, though these are practical rather than plush. Cots and high chairs are standard, and ground-floor rooms cut the stairs with a pram.
in Kos
Blue Lagoon Resort
Rooms and family rooms in garden blocks with a big pool complex, on the edge of Kos Town toward Lambi. Family rooms take four and connecting rooms are available, comfortable and practical rather than boutique. Being walkable and cyclable to Kos Town is the real selling point, so this is a great city-and-beach base.
in Malta
db Seabank Resort + Spa
Bright all-inclusive rooms and family rooms, many with balconies and sea or pool views. Family rooms sleep up to four, and interconnecting options make it easy to give older kids their own space without going far.
in Madeira
Calheta Beach, Savoy Signature
Fresh, functional rooms, many with balconies over the bay. Family rooms take a cot and an extra bed, and the best trick is booking two connecting rooms, which the hotel handles well for families of five.
in Costa Dorada
Hotel Blaumar Salou
Comfortable modern rooms, many with sea views and balconies, plus family rooms that sleep up to four. The sea-view rooms are worth the small upgrade for the promenade sunsets.
in Costa Dorada
Hotel PortAventura
Mediterranean-styled rooms and family rooms set in gardens right by the park, sleeping up to four. Staying on resort brings early park access and the tickets are usually bundled with the room.
in Halkidiki

in Hurghada
Rixos Premium Magawish Suites & Villas
Suites and villas rather than plain rooms: most have a separate sitting area, and the villa units give you two bedrooms and a private terrace close to the beach. If you have a baby, ask for a villa on the garden side, where the evening music from the main pool does not carry.
in Sousse
Hasdrubal Thalassa & Spa Port El Kantaoui
Spacious junior suites and family suites, most with a sitting area and a balcony over the gardens or sea. The suite layouts give parents and children a bit of separation at night, and the marble bathrooms are a cut above the resort norm here.
in Sharm El Sheikh
Savoy Sharm El Sheikh
Smart, spacious rooms and family rooms spread through low-rise garden buildings, many steps from a pool. Family rooms comfortably sleep four, with interconnecting options for larger groups.
in Sharm El Sheikh

in Sal

Bright rooms and family rooms in a modern beachfront resort, many with sea or pool views. Family rooms sleep four, and the layout is compact enough that little legs are not walking far.
in Dubai
Hilton Dubai Jumeirah
Straightforward, well-kept rooms, many with sea or marina views, plus family rooms and connecting pairs that are easy to secure if you ask early. Nothing here is a design statement, but the space and the storage are right for four people and a week of luggage.
in Lake Garda

Elegant rooms and family suites in a low resort spread through gardens, most with a balcony over greenery or the lake. Family suites give you two connecting spaces, which matters when bedtimes are two hours apart.
in French Riviera

in Mauritius
Victoria Beachcomber Resort & Spa
Almost every room faces the sea, in long low blocks along the water. The two bedroom, two bathroom family apartments are the reason to come: separate space for the children, a second bathroom, and no negotiating who showers first.
in Costa Almeria
Barcelo Cabo de Gata
Around 230 bright rooms, many with sea views, all with a terrace, a bath as well as a shower and plenty of wardrobe space. Family configurations connect two rooms, which is the honest way to sleep five without a sofa bed argument.
in Costa Navarino

Renovated rooms and family suites among olive gardens, many with balconies over the pools or sea. Family rooms and connecting options sleep four, children up to 12 stay free in select room types, and the GrecoBaby service supplies cots, sterilisers, monitors and more so you can pack light with an infant.
in Riviera Maya
Moon Palace Cancun
Rooms are large and uniform across the Sunrise and Nizuc sections, most with a double whirlpool tub and a balcony, and connecting rooms are easy to secure for a family that wants two bathrooms. Superior Deluxe rooms take a family of four without a squeeze, and the Grand section adds the swankiest suites near the water park. Cots are free, and the resort credit system throws in spa and excursion money that families can spend on the kids' extras.
in Belek
Gloria Golf Resort
A mix of hotel rooms and bungalow-style buildings spread through the pine, with family and connecting options that keep parents and children close but not on top of each other. Cots are free on request, and the family categories give you the storage and space a week with young kids actually needs.
in Belek

in Abu Dhabi

Large, comfortable rooms and suites, most with sea or pool views, with plenty of family-sized layouts and connecting options that suit four or five. Cots and high chairs are standard, and being all-inclusive, everything from the minibar to the ice creams is already covered.
in Abu Dhabi

Spacious rooms and standalone villas with private space, several genuinely family-sized layouts, and connecting options that give older kids their own room. Cots and high chairs are standard, and the villas suit larger families or two families travelling together.
in Phuket
Club Med Phuket
The new Lai Thai Family Oasis adds Family Superior and Family Themed rooms that sleep two adults, two children under eleven and a baby, some with baby gear, kids toiletries and activity kits built in. Cots are provided, and the all-inclusive setup means no wallet at meals or at the bar. Themed family rooms with a partitioned kids area are the pick if you want the little ones to settle while you stay up.
in Phuket
Katathani Phuket Beach Resort
The Pool Access Family Room sleeps two adults and three children under twelve, with a bunk bed, trundle beds and a small fenced plunge pool on the terrace. Families tend to prefer the Bhuri Wing across the road, which sits closest to the kids pool and Club Tully. Cots are available on request, and the sheer choice of room types makes it easy to match your family size.
in Phuket
Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket
Deluxe Family Rooms and family suites sleep four, and many connect so larger groups can open a door between two rooms. Cots are free on request, and the layout keeps most families a short walk from the water park and the kids clubs. Ask for a room facing the pools rather than the road if you want the little ones to nap without street noise.
in Phuket
Angsana Laguna Phuket
Loft and two-bedroom family suites give parents a real separate space, and many rooms open onto the huge lagoon-fed pool that snakes through the resort. Cots are provided on request, and the size of the grounds means it is worth asking for a room near the Treehouse kids club. Interconnecting options work well for families travelling with grandparents.
in Phuket
Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Merlin Beach
Family rooms and suites sleep four, and the terraced hillside layout means the best family rooms sit close to the family pool and the Bam Bam club. Cots are free on request, and connecting rooms suit larger groups. The resort's ten restaurants and bars make fussy-eater nights much easier than a one-restaurant island.
in Bali
Padma Resort Legian
Padma Legian is built around families, with a dedicated family block and rooms sized for real trips. The Premier Double Double gives one bedroom two queen beds and a bathtub, ideal for toddlers and young children, while suites step up to two bedrooms and Presidential units add three bedrooms with a private pool. Kids stay free in existing bedding on many rates, cots are provided, and the family rooms sit close to the waterslide pool and the Wolly Kids Club so nap-time dashes are short.
in Zanzibar
Gold Zanzibar Beach House & Spa
Gold sits right on Kendwa beach, and its rooms run from deluxe rooms to large beachfront villas with their own pool. Many rooms have interconnecting doors or a sofa bed, so a family of four fits easily, and cots are provided. Best of all for the youngest, there is a shallow paddling pool built just for toddlers alongside two larger pools. Ask for a room near the main pool and beach rather than the quieter far pool if you have small children.
in Ras Al Khaimah
Rixos Bab Al Bahr
Spacious rooms and suites across the resort's low-rise wings, many with sea or lagoon views, with family suites and connecting options that comfortably sleep four. Cots, high chairs and kids' bathrobes are provided on request, and the layouts leave enough floor space for a toddler to potter about before nap time.
in Ras Al Khaimah
InterContinental Ras Al Khaimah Mina Al Arab Resort & Spa
Spacious, design-led suites and villas, some with private pools, spread across a calm stretch of Mina Al Arab, with several looking out over the lagoon or the mangroves. The bigger villa formats suit families who want space to spread out rather than a standard double, and cots and high chairs are provided as standard.
in Fethiye
Hilton Dalaman Sarigerme Resort & Spa
Rooms are set across low garden blocks, and the family categories matter here: standard family rooms are two interconnecting rooms, so parents and children each get a door to close, and the two-level Family Duplex suites suit a party with teenagers who want their own floor. Cots and high chairs are free on request, and the layout keeps a napping baby apart from the evening balcony.
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.
in Mallorca
Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park
Comfortable, practical family rooms rather than showstoppers, with connecting options and family rooms that sleep four. Balconies throughout and enough storage for a fortnight of beach kit. Ask for a renovated room, as standards vary across the wings.
in Tenerife
Costa Adeje Gran Hotel
Large family rooms comfortably fit two adults and two children, and there is a separate lounge in the bigger suites. Ask for a pool-view room away from the rooftop bar if you have a light sleeper.
in Crete
Creta Maris Resort
A huge estate of village-style bungalows and rooms spread through gardens down to the beach, with family rooms and connecting options. Bungalows near a pool suit families with small children; the trade-off is a large site where you will walk a fair bit between your room, the buffets and the water park.
in Antalya
The Land of Legends Kingdom Hotel
Cartoon-themed, generously sized rooms that lean fully into the fairy-tale idea, with plenty of family configurations that comfortably sleep two adults and two or three children. Themed suites are a genuine hit with kids, though the decor is firmly aimed at them rather than at design-minded parents.
in Antalya
Delphin Imperial Lara
Roomy, traditionally styled rooms with family options that sleep four comfortably, geared to practical family stays rather than boutique design. The big draws sit outside the room: a multi-slide water park, a bowling alley and a very short airport transfer.
in Sardinia
Almar Timi Ama Resort & Spa
Low buildings set in Mediterranean gardens between a flamingo lagoon and one of Villasimius' best white-sand beaches. Family rooms and communicating rooms cover two adults plus two children comfortably, and the ground-floor garden rooms are handy with a buggy and toddlers who nap.
in Rhodes
Aulus Lindos Rhodes, Curio Collection by Hilton (Lindian Village)
Around 190 rooms and suites set in white, village-style houses among tropical gardens, with a laid-back boho look (earthy tones, natural materials). Family options include suites with a separate living space, and some accommodation has its own plunge pool, which older kids love and which lets parents linger outside after bedtime.
in Gran Canaria
Radisson Blu Resort & Spa, Gran Canaria Mogan
Modern, spacious rooms, many with connecting doors, which is the easy fix for a family of four or five. Suites add real living space. Rooms feel newer and calmer than most of the south's older resorts.

in Kos
Atlantica Belvedere Resort
Modern rooms and family rooms set around large pools on a low hill above Kardamena, many with a pool or countryside view. Family rooms sleep four and interconnecting rooms suit bigger families, with a bright, updated feel throughout. It is a short drive down to the beach, so this is a pool-first base rather than a beachfront one.
in Madeira
Pestana Porto Santo All Inclusive
Low-rise rooms and family bungalows in gardens leading to the dunes. Ground-floor family rooms with terraces are the ones to request: pram in the shade, kids straight out to the grass.
in Costa Dorada
Cambrils Park Family Resort
Self-catering bungalows and family lodges dotted through green, traffic-limited grounds, most with a kitchenette and terrace. The layouts give kids their own bedroom and give parents a kitchen for easy toddler meals.
in Hurghada
Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel
Solid, well-kept rooms with proper balconies, many looking over the lagoon and the sea. Family rooms and junior suites take four, and connecting doubles are available for larger groups. Ask for the lagoon side: it is quieter than the road side and you can see the beach from the balcony.
in Sharm El Sheikh
Sunrise Arabian Beach Resort
Arabian-styled rooms and family rooms terraced through gardens down toward the sea, most with a balcony. Family rooms sleep four, and the layout gives a calm, low-key feel.
in Bodrum

in Sal

in La Palma

in Agadir
Iberostar Founty Beach
Comfortable, well-kept rooms set in low garden blocks around the pools, with family rooms that sleep four and connecting options for larger groups. It feels calmer and more spread out than the high-rise hotels, which parents of small children tend to appreciate.
in Djerba
Iberostar Waves Mehari Djerba
Comfortable, good-sized rooms and family rooms in low garden blocks, many with a balcony or terrace onto the gardens or pool. Family rooms take four, and connecting rooms are available for larger families.
in Marrakech
Club Med Marrakech le Riad
A cluster of low ochre riads set in palm gardens on the edge of the Palmeraie, with rooms that open onto planted courtyards and pools.

in Punta Cana
Barcelo Bavaro Palace
Standard rooms are large and comfortable, but the section that matters for families is the Family Club: 288 dedicated family suites with a microwave and a minibar stocked with juice, cereal and milk, which changes the shape of an early morning entirely. It is a paid upgrade over the standard rooms and, with children under six, it is the one worth taking.
in French Alps
Club Med Tignes
Family rooms and connecting suites sleep four to five, many looking straight onto the Grande Motte glacier. Cots, bottle warmers and quiet corners for an early bedtime are standard, and there is dry storage so wet gloves and boots never end up in the room.
in French Alps

Warm, chalet-style family rooms and connecting suites sleep four to five, with plenty facing the valley and the sun. Cots, bottle warmers and a boot room mean the practical side of skiing with small children is handled without cluttering the bedroom.
in Mar Menor

A smart, modern four-star in the heart of Los Alcázares with well-appointed rooms, some with connecting options for families. A short walk brings you to the wide, shallow Los Narejos beach, one of the gentlest stretches on the whole lagoon for small children.
in Riviera Maya
Royalton Splash Riviera Cancun
Rooms are modern and roomy, and the family-focused categories are the ones to book: Luxury Family Junior Suites with a bunk nook for the children and a separate zone for parents. Royalton's DreamBed and rain-shower touches feel a notch above the price, connecting options are plentiful, and cots come free. Swim-out rooms open onto a shared pool, which younger children love and which saves the daily trek to the water park.
in Riviera Maya
Barcelo Maya Palace
Barcelo Maya Palace is the all-suite flagship of the complex, so every room is a proper junior suite with a sofa area and a large bathroom, and family rooms take four comfortably. Guests here can roam five interconnected family resorts along one long beach, which means dozens of restaurants and pools on a single wristband. Cots are free, and the calm, gently shelving beach at Xpu-Ha is one of the better swimming stretches on the coast.
in Rimini & the Adriatic Riviera
Club Family Hotel Rimini Village
A big holiday-village setup at the quiet northern end of Rimini, with Smart, Smile and connecting family rooms that sleep two adults and two or three children. Interconnecting doors mean older kids can have their own space next door, and cots and bed rails come as standard.
in Rimini & the Adriatic Riviera

A cheerful, colour-themed four-star sitting right on the Igea Marina sand, with 64 rooms from standard doubles to roomy family suites for two adults and up to three children. A baby food kitchen, high chairs and flexible meal hours are all part of the deal.

in Seychelles
Kempinski Seychelles Resort Baie Lazare
Rooms are large and most have a balcony or terrace facing the bay. Families usually take a Garden or Sea View room with an extra bed, or connecting rooms for more space, and the resort sleeps children easily with free cots. The layout is compact and mostly step-free, which is a relief with a pushchair. A children's pool sits beside the main pool near the kids club.
in Bali
Padma Resort Ubud
Clinging to a jungle ridge above the Payangan valley, Padma Ubud has rooms and suites that all look out over rice terraces and rainforest. Deluxe rooms take a cot and sleep a small family, while the 177 sqm Family Suite adds a second bedroom, a living room and a private hot tub, ideal for two children who need their own space. Kids stay free in existing bedding on many rates, and the resort's shuttle handles the winding road down to central Ubud so you do not have to drive it.
in Side
Vonresort Golden Beach & Aqua
Rooms are practical and family-sized rather than designer, with plenty of connecting and family categories that keep everyone in one booking without being on top of each other. Cots are free on request, and the larger family rooms give you the space and storage a week with young children actually needs.
in Side
Sunis Kumkoy Beach Resort & Spa
Rooms are bright and comfortable, many with balconies over the pools or sea, with family categories that take four without a squeeze. Cots are free on request, and the beachfront position means short walks back for naps rather than a trek across sprawling grounds.
in Fethiye
Liberty Lykia
Accommodation is spread through a huge pine estate in low buildings and bungalows, with family rooms and connecting options that keep everyone close. The scale is the trade-off: a sea-view room can be a hike from the main pool, so ask for something central with young children. Cots are free on request and the family categories give parents real room to spread out a week's worth of kid clutter.
in Costa del Sol
Sunset Beach Club
Every apartment has a proper kitchenette, a balcony and a sofa bed for two, so a family of four spreads out easily. One and two bedroom options mean bigger groups get a real separate bedroom.

A modern resort (opened 2023) spread across a large landscaped estate, with Deluxe Rooms, Junior Suites and larger Helea Suites designed with families in mind. Interiors are contemporary and spacious, many with sea or garden views. The suites give you the separate space that makes a two-week stay with kids feel less cramped.
in Gran Canaria
Lopesan Costa Meloneras Resort & Spa
A colonial-style resort with rooms spread over huge grounds. Family rooms take four, and connecting doubles are worth asking for if you have older kids. The trade-off for all that garden is a proper walk from the far rooms to the pools.
in Gran Canaria
Abora Buenaventura by Lopesan
This is all-inclusive rather than self-catering, with bright family rooms that take a sofa bed so four sleep comfortably. If you want more space, connecting or larger family rooms are worth asking for, and there are adult-only areas kept well away from the family pools.
in Cyprus
Olympic Lagoon Resort Ayia Napa
Comfortable modern rooms and family rooms across the resort, with swim-up options for a splashy upgrade. Family rooms sleep four and connecting rooms are available, worth requesting a quieter block away from the main stage if early bedtimes matter.

in Hurghada
Movenpick Waterpark Resort & Spa Soma Bay

in Hurghada
Kempinski Hotel Soma Bay
Large, genuinely luxurious rooms and suites, most with a balcony or terrace and many looking straight out to sea.

in Costa Brava
Hotel Golden Bahia de Tossa & Spa
Well kept family rooms and duplex suites, the duplexes putting the children upstairs and the parents down, which is worth every extra euro on night four. All rooms have a fridge, a safe and a balcony, and cots are free. Some family rooms are a single large space with a partition rather than a separate bedroom, so check the floor plan.
in Djerba
Djerba Plaza Thalasso & Spa

in Punta Cana
Club Med Punta Cana
Two worlds in one resort. The standard rooms are functional and starting to date, while the Tiara and Family Oasis sections are newer, roomier and worth the jump if there are four of you. Interconnecting family rooms are the standard family answer here, and cots are free in all categories.
in Punta Cana
Bahia Principe Explore Legend
512 suites, all with a separated sitting area, which means a baby can go down while the adults are still awake. The family suites sleep four to six comfortably and some have themed children's bedrooms with their own bunk area.

Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa
Labriz is a village of villas along a two-kilometre beach, and families do well in the Garden Villas or the larger Beachfront and Pool Villas that sleep up to six.

Villas with their own pool are worth it for a napping toddler.
in Phuket

in Ras Al Khaimah
Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island
Bright, modern rooms and family suites, most with sea, pool or marina-style views, with connecting options for bigger families. Cots and high chairs are standard, and the layouts feel current rather than dated, which matters over a week-long stay.

in Menorca
Seth Santo Tomas
Ninety-nine rooms in a refreshed four-star, including sea-view rooms and a handful of suites, spread over two linked buildings. Rooms are calm and comfortable rather than large, so families of four are best in a suite or connecting rooms.
in Kos
Kipriotis Village Resort
Comfortable, good-value rooms and family rooms across a large green complex in Psalidi, most with a balcony onto the gardens.

in Punta Cana
Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa
Low-rise blocks scattered through thick tropical gardens, which is charming and also means a walk. Rooms are comfortable rather than modern, with a jacuzzi in many of them. Family-friendly rooms with bunk beds and child-height fittings exist but are a paid category, so ask for them explicitly when you book.
in French Alps
Club Med Alpe d'Huez
Bright family rooms and connecting options sleep four to five, with the sunny south-facing aspect Alpe d'Huez is known for. Cots and bottle warmers are on hand, and the layout keeps a sleeping baby separate from parents winding down after a day on the snow.
in French Alps
Club Med Peisey-Vallandry
Cosy chalet-style family rooms and connecting suites sleep four to five, tucked among the pines with mountain or forest views. Cots, bottle warmers and a boot room keep the practical side of a ski week tidy, and the sheltered setting is calm at bedtime.

Hotel Izán Cavanna
Simple, bright rooms, most with a balcony and a view over the lagoon or the pool. Family rooms sleep up to four, and the hotel sits on the narrow strip of land with the calm Mar Menor on one side and the open sea on the other, so you are never more than a couple of minutes from shallow water.

in Zanzibar

This is a reliable, comfortable Hilton-branded resort on the Nungwi coast, with rooms that suit families well. Some rooms adjoin, which is the easy way to give kids their own space, and cots come on request.

Dependable rather than boutique, it is a safe, good-value pick for a first trip.
in Ras Al Khaimah
Hilton Al Hamra Beach & Golf Resort
Straightforward, comfortable rooms with family formats and connecting options, most a short walk or buggy ride from the pools or the beach. Cots and high chairs come as standard, and the layouts are practical rather than flashy, which suits families who spend most of the day outdoors anyway.

in Cancun
Wyndham Alltra Cancun

in Cancun
Seadust Cancun Family Resort
Rooms are roomy and family-first, with plenty of categories that sleep four or more and family suites with the space a week with children needs. Cots and bed rails are free on request, high chairs are on hand, and the whole property is set up around families rather than treating them as an add-on.
in Thassos
Ilio Mare Hotels & Resorts
Rooms and suites are spacious and calm, many with balconies or terraces facing the sea and the gardens. Family suites sleep up to four with a separate living area, so a sleeping toddler does not end your evening.

in Fethiye
TUI BLUE Sarigerme Park
Rooms are tidy and modern, and the two-bedroom family villas sleep up to five with twin beds and a double sofa bed, so children get their own room.

in Sicily
Grand Palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa
Low blocks scattered through a 10-hectare park, which means shade, lawns and a walk to breakfast rather than a tower and a lift. Family rooms and connecting options are standard here rather than a scarce upgrade, so four in one booking is normal. Furnishings are resort-practical, not boutique. The rooms nearest the beach are the quietest, the ones nearest the main pool are the most convenient, and you cannot have both.
in Fuerteventura
SBH Costa Calma Beach Resort
Simple, comfortable rooms in a four-star resort right in front of Costa Calma beach, with family rooms available for four.
in Hurghada
Xanadu Makadi Bay
Bright, generous rooms in low blocks spread through the gardens, most with a balcony or terrace and a big enough footprint for a family of four.

in Lake Garda
Parc Hotel Germano Suites & Apartments

in Costa Brava
Evenia Olympic Resort

The Suites block is the one to ask for with young children: a separate kids bedroom, a sofa bed, a kettle and a small fridge, so bottles and early breakfasts happen in your own room.

in Costa Almeria
Playadulce Hotel
The reason to book: Wild West themed family rooms with a stagecoach bunk bed and two full bathrooms, which is a genuinely rare configuration at this price. Standard doubles are plainer, so pay the small supplement for the themed family room.
in Punta Cana
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana
Enormous rooms, all of them, with a two-person hot tub in the middle of the floor that children find hilarious and parents eventually use. Family suites take four to six. You can order a Fender guitar and an amp to the room at no charge, which is either the best or the worst idea of your holiday depending on the child.
in Mar Menor
Hotel Lodomar Spa & Talasoterapia
A relaxed four-star spa hotel at the quiet northern tip of the lagoon, with double rooms, junior suites and a block of self-catering apartments handy for families who want a kitchen. Two outdoor pools and a children's pool sit at the heart of it, and connecting rooms make family stays easy.
in Hammamet

It has a proper old-Riviera feel rather than a glass tower, and cots are free.

in Ras Al Khaimah
Radisson Resort Ras Al Khaimah Marjan Island
Comfortable, good-value rooms and family formats, most a short walk from the pools or the private beach. Cots and high chairs are standard, and while the finishes are simpler than the flagship resorts nearby, the rooms do the job well for a beach-and-pool holiday.
in Ras Al Khaimah
The Cove Rotana Resort
Mediterranean-style rooms and villas tucked into the hillside, several with sea views down to the bay, with family formats and connecting options for bigger groups. Cots and high chairs are provided, and the terraced layout means some walking between rooms and the pool or beach.
in Thassos

Rooms are spread across a main building and garden wings, most with a furnished balcony and many with sea views. Family rooms and suites take four comfortably, and cots are available on request.

in Rhodes
Amada Colossos Resort
A very large seafront resort with a wide range of rooms, from standard doubles to family rooms and suites that sleep up to four or five.

in Rhodes
Sheraton Rhodes Resort
A large, comfortable resort hotel with spacious rooms and suites, many with sea-view balconies over the west coast. Family rooms and connecting rooms are available, and the standard rooms are generous by island standards. It reads as a polished resort hotel rather than a kids' waterpark village, which suits families who like a bit of calm and space.
in Gran Canaria

Spacious, well-kept rooms in low blocks around the pools, most with a balcony or terrace.

in Riviera Maya
Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort & Spa
Rooms are comfortable junior suites in low garden blocks, most with a balcony or terrace, and the family categories add extra space and sofa beds for four. It is the value pick of this list, so finishes are functional rather than plush, but the grounds are big and green with a long lazy river winding through.

in Rimini & the Adriatic Riviera

Bright, fantasy-themed family rooms that sleep four, some with bunk nooks kids love. The theming runs through the whole resort, which younger children find magical.
in Costa Blanca
Melia Alicante
A large hotel where every room has a private terrace looking over the marina or the sea. Rooms vary from older to freshly renovated, so it is worth asking for a refurbished sea-view room; family rooms are available for four.
in Gran Canaria
Bungalows Cordial Green Golf
You book a one or two bedroom bungalow, not a hotel room, so the kids get their own bedroom and you get a living room, a fully equipped kitchen and a furnished terrace. Ground floor units with a bit of garden are the ones to request with a toddler and a buggy.
in Gran Canaria
Abora Interclub Atlantic by Lopesan
Rooms all have a balcony or terrace, and the hotel keeps a dedicated family area with roomier family rooms near the children's pool. This is an all-inclusive hotel rather than self-catering, so you are booking board and slides rather than a kitchen.
in Cyprus
Golden Coast Beach Hotel
Comfortable sea-view and land-view rooms, with family rooms that fit two adults and two children. Ask for a sea-view room on a higher floor for the sunrise over the bay, the land-view rooms are cheaper and perfectly fine for a beach-heavy week.
in Menorca
Globales Almirante Farragut
Renovated rooms in bright white and orange tones, comfortable and modern with wide-screen TVs and mini-fridges, most with a balcony. Family rooms sleep up to four and the clifftop position means many rooms catch a sea view.
in Malta
Ramla Bay Resort
Comfortable rooms and family rooms on Malta's northern tip, many facing the sea and the Gozo ferry channel. Rooms are simple and practical rather than plush, but the sea-view family options are the ones to ask for.
in Hurghada
Cleopatra Luxury Resort Makadi Bay
Comfortable rooms across low blocks, most with a balcony or terrace and a size that copes with a family of four. Family rooms and connecting doubles are both available, so specify which you want at booking and reconfirm on arrival. Cots are free, and heated children's pools make the shoulder months workable with little ones.
in Hurghada
Sheraton Soma Bay Resort
Solid, spacious rooms in a low Moorish-style building set in big grounds, most with a balcony or terrace. Family rooms and connecting doubles both exist, so state which you want at booking and reconfirm on arrival. Cots are free, and the sheer size of the grounds means quiet corners are easy to find with a napping baby.
in Sousse
Marhaba Royal Salem
Comfortable rooms and family rooms on the Sousse seafront, many with a balcony and sea view. Family rooms sleep four, and the location means you can be on the beach or in a town cafe within minutes of stepping out.
in Mauritius
Preskil Island Resort
Simple, brightly coloured rooms in low buildings across a private peninsula. The family rooms are the useful ones: two bedrooms, with the children's room getting its own television, and they sit in a family zone that has its own pool.
in Istria
Resort Petalon
176 rooms and 48 apartments on a green peninsula. Standard, Superior and Family rooms all take four at a push, some connect through a door, and the apartments with a kitchen corner are the sensible pick for a longer stay.
in Costa Almeria
Hotel Best Oasis Tropical
Whitewashed low-rise blocks around the gardens, with balconies and enough room types that a family of four fits without paying for a suite. The 2025 refurbishment brought the bathrooms and beds up to date, ask for a renovated room by name.
in Maldives
Kuredu Island Resort & Spa
Kuredu is a big, lively, activity-packed island with a wide, good-value spread of rooms, from Beach Bungalows to Pool Villas and larger family units. The family-friendly beach rooms sit near the sparkling new kids club and the children's pool, and cots are provided on request. It is a sprawling island, so ask for a room central to the kids club and main restaurant to keep walks short with little legs.
in Side
Trendy Aspendos Beach
Rooms are straightforward and comfortable rather than stylish, with family options that fit four and connecting choices for bigger groups. Cots are available on request, and the value here is in the water and the buffet rather than designer interiors.
in Cancun
Crown Paradise Club Cancun
Rooms are simple and family-practical, with categories that sleep families of four or five and some family suites fitted with bunk beds the children love. Cots and bed rails are free on request, and the resort leans hard into multi-generational stays, so connecting and larger rooms are easy to find.
in Fethiye
Club & Hotel Letoonia
Rooms and bungalows are dotted across a private peninsula of pine and garden, which is beautiful but means steps and slopes between the beach, the pools and your door. Family rooms take four comfortably, cots and baby chairs are included, and a sea or garden view is the reward for the uphill walks. Ask about buggy-friendly locations if you are travelling with a baby.
in Fethiye
Jiva Beach Resort
The resort is built around lagoon-style pools, and the two-bedroom family rooms, around 45 square metres, sleep four with the children in their own room. Free cribs and infant beds are available, and the flat, low-rise layout is kind to pushchairs and to parents carrying beach bags. Rooms are comfortable rather than luxurious, which is reflected in the friendly price.
in Lisbon
Martinhal Lisbon Chiado Family Suites
Studios to two-bedroom apartments, all with a real equipped kitchen and a proper dining area. Layouts are built for families: cosy studios hide living-room bunk beds, while one and two-bedroom suites give parents a separate room. Most units genuinely sleep four to six, and cots and rails are free on request.
in Mallorca
Sol Palmanova by Melia
Straightforward, well kept family rooms that sleep up to four, most with a balcony. Nothing fancy, but functional and clean, with connecting options for bigger groups. This is a value all inclusive, so set expectations around comfort rather than style.
in Tenerife
HOVIMA Jardin Caleta
Apartments rather than rooms: each has a kitchenette with hob, kettle and toaster, a lounge with a sofa bed and a balcony with pool or sea views. That self-catering setup is what makes it easy with a baby.
in Sardinia
Grande Baia Resort & Spa
Apartment-style rooms and residences dotted through a hillside garden resort near San Teodoro, many with a kitchenette or small kitchen. This self-catering flexibility suits families who want to make breakfast and toddler meals in the room and keep costs down.
in Rhodes
Atlantica Aegean Blue
A mid-range all-inclusive with straightforward, comfortable rooms and family rooms that sleep up to four. Nothing designer, but they are clean and practical, most with a balcony. Family rooms and interconnecting options are worth requesting early, as the standard rooms are a squeeze for four with a cot.
in Cyprus
Aliathon Resort
Apartment-style studios and one and two-bedroom units, each with a kitchenette (fridge, hob, microwave) and a balcony or terrace. The living areas have a sofa bed, so a two-bedroom apartment can flex to a bigger family, and self-catering makes early breakfasts and fussy-eater dinners far easier.
in Lanzarote
Hotel THB Flora
Simple, comfortable rooms and family rooms set around leafy pool gardens, a short walk from the beach and the main strip. Family rooms and connecting options work well for four.
in Menorca
Seth Isla Paraiso
Roomy self-catering apartments with a separate bedroom, a sofa-bed living area and a kitchenette, so families can spread out and cook simple meals. The extra space and privacy make bedtimes much easier with a baby or toddler in tow.
in Costa Dorada
4R Playa Park
Simple, practical rooms that sleep families of up to four, many with a balcony and a small fridge. Interconnecting rooms are available on request, which is the easiest way to give older kids their own space here.
in Hurghada
Pickalbatros Dana Beach Resort
Bright, simply furnished rooms spread over a very large garden site, most with a balcony. Family rooms take four with two proper beds plus a sofa bed, and connecting doubles exist for five or six. Ask for a block near the kids aqua pool unless you want a ten-minute walk each way with wet children.
in Sousse
Royal Kenz Hotel Thalasso & Spa
Simple, comfortable rooms and family rooms, many with a balcony over the pool or gardens. Family rooms sleep four, and while the finish is basic, everything is clean and functional, which is what most families need at this price.
in Costa Brava
Guitart Central Park Aqua Resort
Apartments rather than hotel rooms, which is exactly why parents come here. Each has a separate bedroom, a sofa bed in the living area and a small kitchen with a fridge, hob and kettle, so you can do porridge at seven and pasta at six without booking a table anywhere.
in Djerba
Seabel Aladin Djerba
Simple, cheerful rooms and family rooms with sea, garden or pool views in a lively beachfront hotel. Family rooms take four, and the layout is straightforward and practical for a budget family stay.
in Marsa Alam
Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort
Large, Nubian-styled rooms in low terraced blocks stepping down towards the sea, most with a balcony or terrace and enough room for a cot without moving furniture. Family rooms and connecting options work for four, and the resort is big enough that it pays to ask for a room near the pools and the kids club rather than at the far end. Cots are free on request.
in Marsa Alam
Concorde Moreen Beach Resort and Spa
Spacious rooms in low buildings set in lush gardens, most with a balcony or terrace, and a genuine sense of green and space around them. Family rooms take two adults and two children, and connecting doubles help larger groups. There are two children's pools among the four, one heated in winter, so the little ones are well served close to the rooms. Cots are free on request.
in Hammamet
El Mouradi Hammamet
Simple, spacious rooms across a large complex, most with a balcony, and plenty of family rooms and connecting doubles. This is honest value rather than luxury: the furnishings are dated in places, but the rooms are big and there is real room to spread out with children.
in Side
Water Side Resort & Spa
Rooms are simple and comfortable, family-sized rather than plush, set among the greenery of Titreyengol. Cots are available on request, and with an indoor pool and indoor kids pool this is one of the better value picks for a cooler shoulder-season week.
in Corsica
Club Marina Viva
You choose between hotel-club rooms and self-catering apartments across the road, which is the real decision here. Family rooms run to about 28 square metres with two sleeping areas, four beds and two shower rooms, so a family of four or five is not stacked into one space. The residence side gives you a kitchen for baby bottles and fussy-eater breakfasts, cots are free on request, and everything sits in a shady pine and eucalyptus park a few minutes from the sand.
in Antalya
Granada Luxury Resort
Comfortable, good-sized family rooms in a large all-inclusive that punches above its price on facilities. Rooms are practical rather than designer, but there is plenty of family space and the overall standard is solid for the money.
in Gran Canaria
Servatur Puerto Azul
Simple, comfortable rooms, many with a balcony and a sea or valley view. It is a value hotel, so expect clean and functional rather than stylish. Family rooms and adjoining options can sleep four.
in Sicily
Mangia's Brucoli, Sicily, Autograph Collection
402 rooms across a large seafront estate, refurbished into the Autograph Collection but still, at heart, the Italian holiday village it has always been. Family rooms and adjoining pairs are plentiful, which is the whole reason to look here: four of you fit without a second booking, and the resort openly discounts a second room. Expect functional rather than designer, and ask for something away from the entertainment stage unless your children sleep through anything.
in Hurghada
Steigenberger Aqua Magic
Plain, roomy doubles in low blocks arranged around the slide park, nearly all with a balcony or terrace. The family option is two connecting doubles rather than a true suite, so ask for connecting rooms at booking and confirm it again on arrival. Cots are free but must be requested in advance.
in Hurghada
Caribbean World Soma Bay
Straightforward, roomy rooms in low blocks around the gardens and pools, most with a balcony or terrace. Family rooms sleep four and connecting rooms are available if you ask early, so specify at booking and reconfirm on arrival. Cots are free, and the layout is flat and easy to cross with a buggy.
in Ibiza
Invisa Hotel Club Cala Verde
Simple club rooms sleeping up to four, spread across a hillside site with garden and sea views. Comfortable and functional, ideal for a straightforward family week.
in Marsa Alam
Jaz Samaya Resort
Bright, generous rooms in low two-storey blocks set in gardens, most with a balcony or terrace and plenty of floor space for a cot and a spread-out suitcase. Family rooms sleep two adults and two children comfortably, and connecting doubles are available if you ask at booking. Cots are free but limited in number, so request one the moment you reserve.
in Marsa Alam
The Three Corners Fayrouz Plaza Beach Resort
Comfortable, generously sized rooms in low blocks, most with a balcony or terrace, and a spread that runs from near the pools to further back in the gardens. Family rooms suit two adults and two children, and it is worth asking for one near the beach and main pool given the resort's length. Cots are free on request but ask early.
in Hammamet
Nozha Beach Resort & Spa
Comfortable rooms and family rooms across a large seafront resort, most with a balcony over the pools, gardens or sea. There is space for a family of four, cots come free on request, and the more recently updated rooms are a clear step up, so it pays to ask.
in Hammamet
Sentido Phenicia
Comfortable rooms set in nine hectares of mature gardens, most with a balcony or terrace, and family rooms that take four. It is a leafy, spread-out property, so ask for a room near the pool if you are travelling with a pram and small children.
in Hammamet
Omar Khayam Resort & Aqua Park
Simple, roomy rooms across a large beachfront complex, most with a balcony, and plenty of family rooms. This is a value resort, so expect functional rather than fancy, but the rooms are a fair size and there is space for cots and a family of four.
in Fethiye
Club Tuana Fethiye
Rooms are spread across a large, green holiday-village site, comfortable and family-sized rather than smart, with family rooms that take four. Cots are available on request. It is the kind of place where the grounds, the three pools and the petting zoo matter more than the decor, and the children barely see the inside of the room until bedtime.
in Tenerife
Gran Oasis Resort
Apartment-style rooms with kitchenettes and a separate sleeping area, roomy enough for a family and handy for keeping snacks and breakfast in. Decor is simple and practical.
in Cyprus
Sunrise Oasis Hotel & Waterpark
Straightforward, good-value rooms and family rooms, most with a balcony and enough floor space for a cot or a second child bed. Interconnecting options make it easy to give teens their own door, and the family rooms sleep up to four without feeling cramped.
in Hurghada
Jaz Aquaviva
Comfortable modern doubles and family rooms in two-storey blocks, most looking onto gardens or a pool. Family rooms sleep four with a partition rather than a full second bedroom, so if you have a light sleeper, book two connecting rooms instead. Cots free on request.
in Hurghada
Jaz Makadi Oasis Resort
Low Nubian-style buildings in green gardens, most rooms with a balcony or terrace looking over the pools or the planting. Family rooms sleep four and are a sensible size, and connecting rooms are available if you ask early. Cots are free and there is a laid-back, calmer feel than the big slide hotels nearby.
in Mauritius
Hotel Riu Turquoise
Standard 29 square metre rooms with a king or twin beds plus a sofa bed, balcony or terrace, kettle and minibar. Family rooms give you more space and a proper sleeping arrangement for two children, though the style is chain hotel rather than tropical boutique.
in Rimini & the Adriatic Riviera
Hotel Gambrinus
A friendly, family-run three-star in the Marebello district of Rimini, with simple, practical family rooms for two adults and one or two children. Cots and high chairs are on hand, and the whole place is geared to keeping a family holiday affordable.
in Costa del Sol
PYR Marbella
Apartments and studio family rooms with a kitchenette and a furnished balcony, so you get Puerto Banús at aparthotel prices. Furnishings are simple and vary by unit, so ask for a refurbished one.
in Crete
Elounda Residence Resort & Waterpark
A big spread of rooms and apartments, most with a private balcony or terrace, plus premium rooms and private-pool villas. Apartments with kitchenettes make self-catering possible, useful given the hilltop setting where nipping out to a shop or taverna means a walk or a drive.
in Antalya
Seven Seas Hotel Life
Simple, practical family rooms that comfortably fit a couple with a child or two, in a mid-range resort that does the basics well rather than chasing luxury. Rooms are functional and clean rather than stylish, which is reflected in the friendlier price.
in Corfu
Roda Beach Resort & Spa
A big estate of low buildings and bungalows spread across gardens at the island's northern tip. Family rooms and bungalows sleep four comfortably; some are a genuine walk from the main pool and restaurant, so ask for something central if you have a toddler who naps. Standard rooms are functional rather than smart, and the newer refurbished blocks are noticeably better.
in Hurghada
Amwaj Beach Club Abu Soma
Bright, modern rooms in a smart four-star block, most with a balcony or terrace over the gardens or pools. Family rooms sleep four and connecting rooms can be arranged if you ask early, so state your preference at booking and reconfirm on arrival. Cots are free, and the freshwater pools are heated in the coldest winter months.
in Lake Garda
Poiano Garda Resort
Hotel rooms plus a large stock of apartments and residences scattered across a hillside estate above Garda. The apartments are practical rather than stylish, but they have kitchens, terraces and enough space for four to five people without anyone sleeping in a corridor.
in Lake Garda
Bella Italia Village
Mobile homes, bungalows and simple apartments spread across a large lakeside village, all with a kitchen and most with a small terrace. Space is tight and finishes are basic, but you get your own front door, outdoor table and independence.
in Marsa Alam
Gorgonia Beach Resort
Simple, comfortable rooms in low buildings scattered through wide gardens, most with a terrace or balcony and a lot of outdoor space between blocks. Family rooms take two adults and two children, and the calm layout suits early bedtimes. It is an older, unpretentious resort rather than a slick new build, so set expectations at cheerful and well-kept, not luxury.
in Marsa Alam
Lahami Bay Beach Resort and Gardens
Low-rise rooms spread through big green gardens, most on the ground floor with a terrace opening onto lawn, which is genuinely handy with a crawling baby. Family rooms take two adults and two children, and the sprawling, single-storey layout means no lifts and easy pram access. It is a comfortable older resort rather than a designer one, kept up rather than reinvented.
in Corfu
Canvas by Mitsis Messonghi
A very large beachfront estate between Moraitika and Messonghi villages, with rooms in low blocks and bungalows through the gardens. Family rooms take four; ask for one near the pools, because this site is long and the walk back for a forgotten armband is a real one. Rooms are comfortable and unremarkable, which at this price is the right trade.
in Hurghada
Sunrise Aqua Joy Resort
Simple, clean doubles and triples, refurbished in parts and dated in others. There are no true family suites: families of four take a triple with an extra bed or two doubles side by side. Cots are free but limited in number, so ask early.
in Corsica
Belambra Clubs Golfe de Lozari
This is an apartment village rather than a hotel: 300-plus units scattered through a 22-hectare pine grove, most with a kitchenette and a terrace, which suits families who want to control breakfast and nap time. Space is efficient rather than lavish, so a two-bedroom is worth it for four, and the trade for the modest decor is a huge green park and the sandy Lozari beach a short walk away.
in Costa Blanca
Hotel Allon Mediterrania
Straightforward air-conditioned rooms with balconies, many with sea views over the promenade. They are simple and a little dated in places, but clean and functional, and free cots are available for the youngest guests.
in Gran Canaria
Bungalows Vistaflor
The colourful two storey bungalows sleep a family in a living room with a sofa bed, a bedroom and a well equipped kitchenette, with a terrace or balcony. The upstairs layout means stairs inside, so with a baby or an early walker ask for a single level or ground floor unit.
in Sicily
Athena Resort
A classic Italian villaggio: low-rise blocks spread through a huge site inside the Pino d'Aleppo nature reserve, with family rooms and quadruples as the default rather than the exception. Furnishings are plain and functional, and nobody is pretending otherwise. What you are buying is space, three pools, a private beach and three age-banded clubs, at a price that makes a fortnight possible.
in Punta Cana
Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort & Aquagames
Junior suites as standard, which sounds better than it is: they are spacious with a sofa bed and a balcony, but the finishes are four-star rather than the five stars on the sign. Family rooms take two adults and two children comfortably. Cots are free and the First Kid Free promotion often covers one child under twelve.
in Sicily
Hotel Caesar Palace
220 rooms in a large block on the Recanati hillside above Giardini Naxos. Rooms are simple and dated in places, family rooms and triples are widely available, and the ones facing the sea are worth the small supplement because the view down to the bay and across to Taormina is the best thing about the building. This is a hotel you book for the pool and the price, not for the decor.
in Corfu
Labranda Sandy Beach Resort
A vast four-star estate laid out along the beach, with rooms and family rooms in low blocks through the grounds. Family rooms sleep four without drama and are clean rather than stylish. The site is big enough that your block genuinely determines your week, so ask for something between the pools and the sand.
in Rhodes
Dessole Lippia Golf Resort
A mid-range resort of around 240 rooms next to the Afandou golf course, some with a patio or balcony and a small fridge for light self-catering. Rooms are simple and a little dated, but practical for families, and family rooms sleep up to four. Think value and easy-going rather than modern polish.
in Sicily
Menfi Beach Resort
242 rooms in a village layout, each with a balcony or a door onto the garden. Everything is air-conditioned and equipped with the basics: TV, minibar, safe, hair dryer. Nothing here is designed, it is provisioned, and for the price that is a fair deal. Family rooms and connecting arrangements are easy to get. Ask for a garden-level room if you have small children, because being able to open a door onto grass is worth more than a view here.
in Corfu
Sidari Waterpark Resort & Spa
Straightforward rooms and family rooms in low blocks around the pools, with the water always within earshot. Nobody books this hotel for the decor: it is clean, it is functional, and the family rooms fit four. Ask for a room away from the slide towers if you have a toddler who naps in the afternoon, because the noise carries.
