The Best Family Resorts in the Caribbean
The world, through a child’s eyes, is an incredible place. Traveling as a family allows you to engage in their discovery. The Caribbean is home to dozens of hotels that would be terrific choices for a family vacation. From sprawling classic country club resorts to active all-inclusive hotels, the options are endless. We’ve “vacation-tested” hundreds of hotels in the Caribbean, and these are the ones we consider the best family resorts in the Caribbean:
CURTAIN BLUFF | ANTIGUA
Curtain Bluff does not fit the mold of all-inclusive resorts. This hotel succeeds at incorporating luxurious amenities, first-class customer service, and incredible food with a world of family-friendly activities. The kid’s camp at Curtain Bluff is legendary and one of the main reasons our clients return again and again. Curtain Bluff has two beaches, so there is always room for you and your family.
WHY WE LOVE IT
The wine cellar is one of the finest in the Caribbean, with over 4000 bottles, and the experience of attending a wine-tasting or meal pairing in the cellar is the farthest thing you’d expect to experience at a Caribbean all-inclusive.
PERFECT FOR
multi-generational families, active travelers, tennis lovers
BEACHES TURKS & CAICOS | TURKS & CAICOS
Beaches Turks & Caicos is the most popular family-friendly all-inclusive in the Caribbean. Kids love the resort because of the never-ending activity options. Parents love Beaches Turks & Caicos because of the 20+ included restaurants, incredible beach, and the fact the kids club allows children of all ages.
WHY WE LOVE IT
We think Beaches Turks is one of the best family resorts in the Caribbean because it is an effortless vacation. Everything is included – from scuba diving to staff gratuities. Put your wallet away and enjoy your family time!
PERFECT FOR
family reunions, postcard-perfect beach lovers, families with babies
CASA DE CAMPO | DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Casa de Campo opened almost 50 years ago. The grandeur of the resort and its authentic hospitality are legendary. The resort covers over 7000 acres and consists primarily of luxury villa rentals. (Click to find out what villa we love most!) There are 8 outstanding restaurants and activities to appeal to everyone in your family. With everything from championship golf to polo or archery lessons and private island beach excursions, no one will complain of boredom.
WHY WE LOVE IT
There is a well-respected artist community on the resort property called Altos de Chavon; it features charming shops and cafes providing a worthwhile change of scenery.
PERFECT FOR
families with older kids, golf lovers, social groups
FOUR SEASONS RESORT | ANGUILLA
The Four Seasons Resort in Anguilla made the family-friendly resort list because it’s now easier than ever to get to Anguilla thanks to daily nonstop flights from Miami. The spacious rooms at FS Anguilla make it a win-win for families because families with young kids can share one room, and for larger families, there are 1-4 bedroom suites/villas on property. With two beaches, there’s always room on the sand, and Anguilla is a flat and easy island to get around and explore too.
WHY WE LOVE IT
The Kids for All Seasons program offered by all Four Seasons is one of the best programs in the luxury hotel market. This hotel frequently hosts an outpost of the popular US summer camp – Camp Manitou, for kids ages 9-17.
PERFECT FOR
family reunions, beach lovers, families with kids of all ages
THE BUCCANEER | ST. CROIX
The Buccaneer Hotel knows families. The hotel has been family-owned and operated for over 70 years. The 340-acre property offers half a dozen sports, three beaches, and accommodation options for every size family. The manager’s cocktail party is not to be missed; you’ll enjoy an intriguing history lesson served up with your mojito.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Buck Island Reef National Monument lies just offshore, and the boat leaves from the hotel’s private dock, making for an easy excursion the entire family will enjoy.
PERFECT FOR
adventure seekers, snorkeling enthusiasts, beach lovers
ROSEWOOD LITTLE DIX | BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
Little Dix Bay is one of the most breathtaking stretches of private beach anywhere in the world. This pristine private bay, combined with Rosewood’s legendary hospitality, makes for a truly unforgettable vacation. When you dream of a quintessential luxury beach resort, Rosewood Little Dix Bay is precisely what you think of.
WHY WE LOVE IT
The British Virgin Islands are the sailing jewel of the Caribbean. Rosewood is an excellent hub for exploring other nearby islands and giving your kids a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The hotel will arrange as much or as little island-hopping as you wish.
PERFECT FOR
families with kids of all ages, adventure seekers, beach walkers
THE COVE ATLANTIS | BAHAMAS
Anyone who has ever researched the best family-friendly resort has likely come across Atlantis. This behemoth of a resort is a kiddie and adult playground. Waterslide under a shark aquarium anyone? While the main hotel can be a bit hectic, staying at The Cove provides a more toned-down experience with access to the same famous Atlantis waterpark.
WHY WE LOVE IT
The Cove is close enough to the action but far enough away that you will still be able to capture that rest & relaxation vibe you came for.
PERFECT FOR
active travelers, waterpark lovers, friends with kids traveling together
HALF MOON RESORT | JAMAICA
Half Moon in Jamaica has been a family favorite for the last 20+ years. They take the average hotel kids club to the next level with their replica of a traditional Caribbean village, complete with a kiddie pool. There is plenty to do elsewhere on the property too – watersports, tennis/squash, and a world-class equestrian center.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Half Moon Resort has luxury villas on property. Villas are a great way to vacation with your loved ones. You have ample space to enjoy each other’s company in the privacy of your own home away from home. That’s why we think Half Moon is one of the best family resorts in the Caribbean.
PERFECT FOR
multi-generational families, families with kids of all ages, private villa clients
