We are all looking for something a little different when we go on vacation — relaxation, rejuvenation, restoration or maybe a bit of adventure. It’s for that exact reason families need a resort that can be everything to everyone in your travel party, including your kids.

That’s why we’ve found the top hotel kids clubs all over the world so you can make your next vacation the perfect mix of family time and downtime.

Some kids clubs on this list require an additional fee and/or advance reservations, but don’t worry that you’ll be left out. For the most part, this is done to track the number of children who come in and out of the facility and to plan accordingly for activities.

Traveling with kids is always an adventure, but at these best-of-the-best hotel kids clubs, they can choose their own adventure.

Children ages 5 to 12 can experience even more of the St. Regis‘ kid-friendly fun at the complimentary La Tortuga Childrens Club. Staff members plan exciting indoor and outdoor activities for kids and there is also a sand play area, sports court and nap room if they get tuckered out. The hotel does not provide babysitting services, but they can provide the number of a third-party local vendor to coordinate care.

Room rates start at around $800 or 96,000 Marriott Bonvoy points per night.

Plenty of family-friendly all-inclusive resorts have on-site water parks, but the Hyatt Ziva Cancun is one of the few that has a miniature water park just for kids. These pint-size slides and shallow pool are part of the resort’s KidZ (get it, “Z” for Ziva) which is available to children ages 4 to 12. Children can make arts and crafts, play with toys and video games and explore the beach with staff members.

With “Disney” right there in the name, it’s really no surprise that Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa is essentially a family-friendly theme park without the rides.

From Tahitian dance lessons to pareo (Tahitian sarong) painting, kids ages 5 to 12 won’t want to leave the resort’s Tamariki Kids Club. There are indoor and outdoor play areas where kids can learn to make flower crowns, swing and slide at the playground or go on a treasure hunt.

Puente Romano Beach Resort in Malaga on the southern coast of Spain sees its kids club as more than just a place where kids can swim and play (though they can do both of those things) while the grown-ups do grown-up things.

La Casita Club was designed to be a place where kids can participate in their own version of so-called “grown-up activities” like horseback riding, movie-making, and tennis lessons from a professional at the resort’s world-renowned tennis club.

Kids ages 5 to 12 can also play video games, work on their Spanish language skills, watch movies, play in a tree house made from recycled materials, attend yoga classes and collect produce from the resort’s organic herb garden. There’s even a pizza oven where they can make their own lunch.

Puente Romano has separate clubs for kids up to 4 years old and one for teens where they can jam out during DJ sessions, learn to make sushi, choreograph TikTok dances and more.

Room rates start at around $1,700 per night and access to the kids club is 50 euros ($52) for the morning session and 45 euros ($47) for the afternoon session.

Atlantis Paradise Island claims to have the “coolest kids club in the Caribbean” and it may just be right. When kids ages 3 to 12 visit Atlantis Kids Adventures, they can visit the land of make-believe during a baby doll tea party, pretend to be their parents at a pint-size grocery store, take a cooking class or curl up with a good book in a cozy reading nook.

And that’s just during the daytime. At night, the Atlantis Kids Adventures club hosts talent shows, sports challenges, “sleepless” slumber parties, a candy carnival with face painting and sour candy challenges, Willy Wonka-themed games and more.

Advance reservations and an additional fee are required to visit Atlantis Kids Adventures. Prices are $71.50 for afternoon sessions, $92.40 for evening sessions, $82.50 for culinary adventures or $38.50 per hour. There are separate evening clubs for tweens (currently closed) and teens (13-17) with a $28 nightly cover charge.

Room rates at one of Atlantis’ four resort hotels start at around $225 per night and certain properties can also be booked using Marriott Bonvoy points.

The “Kids For All Seasons” program is a staple of Four Seasons resorts all across the world, including the Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos at Costa Palma. Kids ages 4 to 12 can spend their days making (and breaking) their own piñatas, riding bikes, searching for seashells and much more.

Children who aren’t quite old enough to while away the hours at the complimentary kids club can utilize the resort’s babysitting services for an additional fee of $45 per hour (maximum of two children and a four-hour minimum), but guests also have access to complimentary baby care items like nursing pillows, cribs, white noise machines and more.

Room rates start at around $1,400 per night for a family of four.

Luxury and top-of-the-line service are the name of the game at the Fairmont Mayakoba Riviera Maya and that extends to the resort’s Discovery Club and Adventure Camp for kids. The club is in the midst of a multi-million dollar renovation, which is scheduled to be completed by September 2022 (though there are plenty of kids activities available in the interim).

Once complete, kids ages 5 to 11 will have their very own outdoor adventure playground and indoor spaces to read, play games, watch movies, make arts and crafts, participate in themed staff-led activities and more.

Advance reservations will guarantee you a spot, but they aren’t required and certain activities require an additional fee.

Room rates start at around $400 per night for a family of four.

In addition to the plethora of family-friendly activities these resorts have to offer, many are also home to the best kids clubs in the world.

Whether your kids are craving a little independence or you find yourself in need of a some alone time, hotel kids clubs can provide both. For kids, they serve as a haven where kids can relax, learn or expend energy. For parents, it’s a place where children can safely spend their time while you take a well-deserved break.
