5 Luxury Resorts with Kids’ Clubs Parents Actually Rave About
But not all kids’ clubs are created equal. Some feel like an afterthought... a room with a few toys. Others are so thoughtfully designed that children can’t wait to go back each day, and parents end up recommending the resort to everyone they know.
Here are five luxury resorts where the kids’ clubs are more than just childcare and they’re a genuine highlight of the holiday.????
1. Ikos Andalusia, Spain
Ikos resorts are famous for their “Infinite Lifestyle” concept, and Ikos Andalusia takes it to the next level for families. The kids’ club is run to UK Ofsted standards, with tailored sessions for different age groups. Expect treasure hunts, arts and crafts, sports and even beach games, all while you relax by one of the pools with waiter-service cocktails. Parents rave about the peace of mind here, and the fact that everything (including à la carte dining and premium drinks) is included.
2. Sani Resort, Greece
Set within a 1,000-acre ecological reserve, Sani is a family paradise. The kids’ clubs are broken down by age, from supervised play for toddlers through to teen activities like DJ workshops, beach volleyball and sailing. There’s even a “Babewatch” service, qualified staff who watch little ones on the beach while you take a swim. Parents often say Sani is the first place where they’ve truly managed to switch off, thanks to the sheer choice of activities for kids.
3. Domes of Elounda, Crete
This resort combines stylish design with serious family credentials. The kids’ club is inspired by Montessori learning, with activities ranging from cooking lessons to eco-projects. While the children are busy, parents can retreat to the award-winning spa or soak up the sea views from their private pool suite. Families love the balance here... there’s plenty for kids, but it still feels like a chic, grown-up holiday.
4. Beaches Turks & Caicos, Caribbean
If you’re looking long-haul, Beaches is unbeatable. Their kids’ clubs cater from newborns through to teenagers, with a Sesame Street partnership for younger children and an Xbox lounge, DJ academy and watersports for teens. Parents highlight how safe and professional the childcare is, and how much freedom it gives them to enjoy everything from scuba diving to fine dining while the kids are happily occupied.
5. Forte Village, Sardinia
This Italian resort has won multiple awards as one of the world’s best family destinations. The kids’ club is more like a mini-university, with academies led by professionals... think football training with Chelsea FC coaches, cooking classes with Michelin-starred chefs, and dance lessons from international choreographers. Parents often say their children come home with new skills as well as memories.
Why choosing the right kids’ club matters?????
A great kids’ club doesn’t just keep little ones entertained... it transforms the whole family holiday. Parents get genuine downtime, kids make friends and try new activities, and everyone goes home feeling like they’ve had a break.
But here’s the key: not every resort is right for every family. Some are better for toddlers, others for older kids. Some excel at educational play, others at sports. My job is to match you with the one that fits your family.
