Our Top Pick of Hotels for Family Holidays
Check out some of our favourite family-friendly hotels around the globe which promise lots of fun for all ages, keeping the kids entertained and adults relaxed throughout their stay.
Titanic Beach Lara, Turkey
The Titanic Beach Lara hotel is located on the gorgeous Mediterranean Sea, close by to the resort city of Antalya. Its name comes from its shape resembling the titanic ship which is a really cool concept, especially for kids. This premium property boasts the Tini Kids Club for children aged 4-12 which comprises a children’s slide pool, games room, special shows, activities, and a specially designed children’s restaurant open for lunch and dinner. Titanic Beach Lara also offers inter-connecting family rooms, sports activities, outdoor swimming pools including a pool with a waterslide, and a long stretch of beach, not to mention a decadent spa with an indoor pool and relaxation areas, and stylish on-site bars offering evening entertainment.
Our Turkey holiday packages are a bargain, with many featuring all-inclusive hotels, including our package to the Titanic Beach Lara. What is the best time of year to visit Turkey, you might ask? The summer months, from June to September, are hot hot hot, with temperatures reaching mid-thirties in some areas. Sunshine is pretty much guaranteed at this time of year but it is the peak time to travel, so if you want to save a bit of money then you could visit in April/May or September/October, which sees pleasant warm temperatures.
DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island, Ras al Khaimah
We really recommend Ras al Khaimah as a holiday destination for families. The city is filled with all-inclusive resorts and offers unforgettable outdoor adventures for all ages, with less tourist crowds than its neighbouring city Dubai. One particularly notable family-friendly property in Ras al Khaimah is the DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island, situated on the man-made Marjan Island with a private stretch of coastline. There are deluxe interconnecting rooms at this property offering lots of space within close proximity of the hotel’s family pool, children’s pool, outdoor playground, and Pirate Boat Aqua Zone. Rooms also offer complimentary Wi-Fi which is ideal for older kids and adults, and there are seven restaurants to take advantage of.
A major highlight of holidays to Ras al Khaimah is that the emirate offers year-round hot sunny weather, so you’ll always get your dose of vitamin D here!
PrideInn Paradise Beach Resort & Spa, Mombasa
Want to take the kids somewhere unique? Consider Mombasa, a colourful African city bordering the Indian Ocean with paradise beaches, water sports, engaging museums, delicious food, and incredible wildlife viewing opportunities. PrideInn Paradise Beach Resort & Spa is a four star family friendly resort located on the North Coast of Mombasa on a blissful beach, offering family rooms with pool/garden views, a separate space for kids, easy access to the resort’s restaurants and aqua park, plus high-speed Wi-Fi. The resort’s traditional restaurant offers entertainment alongside themed buffet nights, and there’s also a bistro, children’s pool, adult’s pool, swim up bar, kid’s club, spa, sports bar, and an extensive entertainment programme providing fun for the whole family.
King Evelthon Beach Hotel and Resort, Cyprus
If you don’t want to take the kids too far and would prefer a shorter plane journey, then Cyprus could be an option for you; this Mediterranean island nation is located around a 4 hour 30 minute flight from the UK. Situated in the popular resort town of Paphos, the luxury King Evelthon Beach Hotel overlooks the Mediterranean Sea with a tropical setting of landscaped gardens. The resort also has its own kid’s club and playground, plus a splash pool with slides, an indoor pool, sports activities, and a daily entertainment programme. Adults can take advantage of the on-site spa, seasonal outdoor bars, and complimentary Wi-Fi, and all tastes will be satisfied at the hotel’s a la carte eateries and buffet restaurant.
Our package to the King Evelthon Beach Hotel is valid for travel in May, which we think is the best month to go to Cyprus as the weather has warmed up, but it’s not the peak time to travel so you’ll see less crowds. We have several other cheap Cyprus holiday packages catered for families.
Disney's All Star Sports Resort, Orlando
After a year of missing out, why not go all out with a family holiday to the iconic city of Orlando? Stay inside Walt Disney World at Disney’s All Star Sports Resort, located at the park’s Animal Kingdom Area. This quirky hotel has a sport’s theme throughout, and complimentary Wi-Fi is provided in all guest rooms. There’s a bustling food court offering all-day dining, as well as a pizza delivery service and pool bar offering snacks and refreshing drinks. There’s plenty to keep the family entertained at Disney’s All Star Sports Resort including arcade games, campfire fun, bike rentals, and much more. The convenience is an added bonus, with the resort offering a complimentary shuttle service to and from Orlando International Airport and the attractions of Walt Disney World.
How many days do you need in Orlando?
We recommend that you spend at least seven nights in this sunny Florida city, as that gives you plenty of time to recover from jet lag, see the sights, and embark on fun adventures at the city’s theme parks. Our Orlando holiday packages generally include a seven-night stay.
