The Best All-inclusive Hotels in Europe with Kids’ Clubs

Ah, the joy of an all-inclusive. No lifting a finger for the whole holiday, no calculating how many ice creams the kids have demolished and whether you’ve just accidentally remortgaged the house in Calippos

But what really takes things up a notch is when everything is not only included, but actually good – and then you throw in a brilliant kids’ club on top. Suddenly you’re not just surviving a family holiday, you’re genuinely enjoying it. You’re by the pool with a cocktail in hand, while the kids are off having their own little adventure under the care of properly trained staff in spaces that are actually fun, colourful and thoughtfully designed – from crèches newborns and trust-worthy supervision toddlers, to jampacked activity agendas for older children. Honestly, some of these kids’ clubs are so good you’ll find yourself wondering if you can sneak in for a session of arts and crafts too

So, here’s our pick of the best all-inclusive hotels in Europe with kids’ clubs. Good luck trying to narrow it down to just one…

An entry age of 3 months sets the scene for the superlative childcare at Country Kids in the south of France – an under-one-roof-resort, but not as you know it. Championing a boutique approach to an all inclusive package, here you’ll find an intimate collection of 7 home from homes benefitting from not only unlimited (home cooked!) food, drink and drop in Kids Club sessions but complimentary spa treatments and off-site activities to boot. The heated central pool acts as a hub for the communal vibe at this rural retreat, with the free flowing wine spreading a sense of joie de vivre

Think of this as a fresh take on the classic all-inclusive – where standout dining and polished service sit alongside genuinely excellent childcare. With fine dining across six restaurants plus gastronomic room service and villas with private pools, plus a great beach, Daios Cove has it all. It’s also a straightforward 60-minute transfer from the airport, a dream for parents who just want to fly and flop as quickly as possible – i.e. everyone

The setting really delivers. Built across six tiers carved into its own little cove, the hotel makes the most of those sweeping bay views at every level. Getting around is part of the experience too – the Willy Wonka-style funicular is a hit with kids and grown-ups alike

The saltwater infinity pool is the main event, all sparkle and sea views, but the private sandy beach is just as appealing. Calm, shallow waters make it ideal for younger swimmers and low-stress beach days

Accommodation has had a stylish upgrade as well. The newer “Collection” rooms bring a super slick Mediterranean feel, with indoor and outdoor spaces flowing into one another and a look that’s all about relaxed, timeless elegance. Families will love the villas, which come pre-prepared with all the parental paraphernalia

But it’s the kids’ club you really want to know about. Think bright, modern rooms with soft play corners for little ones, craft stations and chill-out zones for older kids, plus plenty happening outdoors too. Babies from just four months old up to toddlers are looked after in the Crèche Club by UK childcare experts Worldwide Kids Co, with qualified nursery staff meeting UK standards and regulations. Older kids from age four to 11 can get stuck into everything from games to themed activities, plus plenty of water sports looked after by highly trained, multilingual staff, guaranteeing supervision and security as well as tons of fun. Teenagers get their own special area with billiards and air hockey. What makes it feel that bit more special is the level of care and the setting – it’s not just “drop and go”, it’s a genuinely engaging space where kids actually want to be, giving you proper time to switch off with peace of mind

Family-run, Eagles Palace may be a resort but this is no copy and paste mega chain job. Authentically Greek, the Hellenic hospitality here is legendary and the service from seasoned staff nothing short of splendid. Guests can choose to book beachy bedrooms or elegant villas, benefiting from foodie freedom, space to spread out and first class facilities. Sleeping 2-6, each boujee bolthole is blessed with heated plunge pools and private gardens. Back at the ‘Palace’ parents can offload offspring to the Kids’ Club before slipping off (unshackled by smalls) to the spa, tennis courts or watersports centre. In a stroke of pure parent pleasing genius, the hotel hosts complimentary movie nights for tots during the summer, meaning mum and dad can enjoy that rarest of luxury – dinner alone. With unblemished bluer-than-blue waters and spotless sands, this beach break is nothing short of Godly

Ikos is famous for being the last word in luxury for families – and is it worth it? In a word: yes. If you want a stand out holiday then Ikos Andalusia on the lovely Spanish coast is great pick

This is all-inclusive done properly, where everything feels easy but still seriously high-end. You’ve got gorgeous beachfront vibes, loads of pools, standout food (we’re talking à la carte, not buffet overload) and activities included, so no constant mental maths about what things cost – which is after all the true joy of all inclusive

For families, it’s the kids club that really seals it. They cater from six months right up to 17 years, which is rather amazing, and everything is split by age, so it actually works. Little ones get a crèche setup with naps, sensory play and super gentle care, while older kids dive into crafts, sports, games and shows. Teens even get their own hangout space, so they’re not stuck doing “little kid” stuff

It’s all run by qualified childcare pros, so you can properly switch off knowing they’re happy. Basically? Kids obsessed; parents relaxed – dream combo. It’s incredibly well considered and worth every penny – of which you will be paying plenty as it’s pretty pricey but in our opinion you can really see what you are getting for your money

Running from 10am – 2am, the epic Kids Club at Lujo Hotel Bodrum understands that sometimes mama just wants to let her hair down (or, if it were us, spend the evening soaking solo in the bath with a good book – whatever your pleasure). With dedicated music, art and science rooms, Lego Robotic Coding workshops, dance and basketball academies, evening entertainment and even its own aquapark, Lujo Hotel Bodrum is definitely not sleeping on things to do for smalls. So far so resort sounding? Yes, Lujo is a palatial pad, but it’s one that’s effortlessly easy on the eye. This is definitely not your standard all inclusive hotel (it’s a cool all inclusive hotel). Mean Girls’ quote aside, this unique set up is utopia for parents searching for facilities with no cost to aesthetics or ambience

6. Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza Resort & Spa, Ibiza

If your dream family holiday involves stepping out of your room and immediately being able to alternate between beach, pool and lunch with absolutely minimal effort, Grand Palladium Palace Ibiza makes a very strong case for itself

Set right on Playa d’en Bossa – one of Ibiza’s best family-friendly beaches – this is the kind of five-star, all-inclusive resort where you can properly switch off. No endless logistics, no complicated planning, just long sunny days where everything you need is within easy reach

The beachfront location is ideal for families with younger children because everything is flat, walkable and easy. Ibiza Town is only a short drive away if you fancy an evening wander or marina dinner, but most families happily settle into full resort mode and barely leave

Rooms are modern, spacious and designed with practicality in mind. Family rooms and suites give everyone space to spread out as they sleep up to four, with a twin or double bedroom and a sofa-bed in the lounge. Just ask the team to add any baby equipment you need before you arrive.

The kids’ club offering is especially strong here, with clearly separated age groups so activities feel genuinely tailored. The Baby Club caters for little ones under three cared for by multilingual staff in a lovely calm environment for them to nap and play in. Babysitting is also available. The Mini Club is a spacious area that boasts a children’s pool with slides, a playground, trampolines, and even a kids’ bar with ice cream and soft drinks. Children aged 4 to 8 can enjoy fun activities such as educational games, quizzes, crafts, theatrical performances, and much more. The Junior Club caters for ages 7 to 16 in a dedicated space with a movie theater and a chill out area with an Xbox and other games. Of course, there’s plenty of watersports and beach fun for older kids too

Facilities are exactly what you want from a large all-inclusive. Lagoon-style pools, splash areas, sports courts, evening entertainment and multiple restaurants mean there’s always something happening

£££

If your dream holiday involves happy kids and zero effort, Creta Maris Resort absolutely delivers. Think big, bold, and brilliantly set up for families – with a serious line-up to keep little (and not-so-little) travellers busy from morning till night

The kids’ club is a major win, welcoming children from age four, with dedicated teams running the show so you can properly switch off. Expect arts and crafts, treasure hunts, group games, mini discos and outdoor adventures – wholesome, high-energy fun sorted. Older kids and teens aren’t forgotten either at the Worldwide Kids’ & Teens Club, where they’ll find sports, tournaments and hangout-style activities that feel a bit more “grown up”. There is babysitting on offer too which can work well with babies and toddlers

Beyond that? A waterpark for splashy thrills, a whopping five children’s pools (and further eight family friendly pools) as well as a private Blue Flag beach, playgrounds, mini golf, arcade games and sports courts. Teens can dive into football, basketball and watersports, while younger ones happily paddle and play

The all-inclusive offering keeps things easy: seven gorgeous restaurants mean you can dine somewhere new every night of the week, while snack spots and bars mean no one goes hungry in between meals. Family accommodation is spacious and designed for comfort with room to spread out. It’s a large resort, with 679 rooms & suites, but thanks to the layout (modelled on a traditional Cretan village) the always feels easy to navigate

So it’s easy to see why Creta Maris has a wealth of awards under its belt – including ‘Greece’s Leading All-Inclusive Resort’ for several years running – it’s a safe bet for a great stay

Some family hotels are all about non-stop entertainment. Others are so quiet you start wondering if children are technically allowed to make noise. Parga Beach Resort somehow lands perfectly in the middle – relaxed, beautiful and genuinely family-friendly without ever feeling overrun

Set right on Valtos Beach on Greece’s stunning northwest coast, this place is picture-postcard stuff. Think lush gardens, little stone pathways and barefoot beach days. The setting is a huge reason for booking. You’re just outside the pretty town of Parga, which means those quintessential harbour walks, waterfront tavernas and evening gelato runs are all within easy reach. But as this all-inclusive resort truly has it all, you might just want to stay put.

You’ll stay in bungalow-style rooms hidden amongst the greenery, which gives the whole place a lovely village feel. Rooms and suites are stylish but relaxed, with family-friendly layouts and enough outdoor space for post-bedtime drinks while listening to the sea. Families tend to book the Eden Suites which are a great choice for up to 4, with an open plan layout separating a large double bed from a sofa bed – plus ample space for a cot. Or families of 5 looking for even more space, will want to look at Grand Bliss Suite, Penthouse Bliss Suite with plunge pool or Maison Bliss Suite. Every conceivable piece of baby kit can be ordered to your room to – from sterilisers to bottle warmers – so don’t worry if you forget anything or even better just give the concierge a list of what you’d like waiting for you when you arrive

There are several swimming pools to splash in, direct access to the sandy beach, lovely restaurants (with everything you could wish for from an all-inclusive thrown in) and plenty of quiet corners for parents to properly switch off while children happily bounce between pool and sea all day long. Dining is especially easy for families too – relaxed, varied and very accommodating for younger eaters without feeling overly “kids menu” focused

Entertainment at the newly opened Phiome Kids’ Club (4+) is rooted in screen-free fun, with gardening, mindfulness and open-air beach cinema nights all on the programme of endless fun. Teens can hang out in their own club, try their hand at watersports, or borrow a bike for a spin through the olive groves.

What really makes this place stand out, though, is the atmosphere. It feels warm, welcoming and super easy in that hard-to-fake way. Children are happily included in everything; adults still feel like they’re somewhere that’s designed for them too

There are some family hotels where you arrive, take one look at the sea view, hand the kids an ice cream and immediately think: yes, this was a very good decision. Zafiro Palace Andratx is firmly in this category

Perched above the beautiful bay of Camp de Mar in Mallorca’s glamorous southwest corner, this is luxury family travel at its best. Think sunshine-soaked terraces, chic-but-comfy interiors, multiple pools and plenty of thoughtful touches for families

The location couldn’t be better. Camp de Mar’s pretty beach is just minutes away, Port d’Andratx is perfect for evening strolls and sunset dinners and Palma is close enough for a day trip if you can tear yourselves away from the hotel. Which, honestly, may prove difficult

Accommodation here is a huge draw for families because every room is a suite – and that extra space makes all the difference. Expect a sleek, contemporary look, large terraces and proper space to spread out. Some suites even come with swim-up access or private plunge pools, which children understandably consider the greatest invention of all time

The facilities strike that very difficult balance between luxurious and genuinely family-friendly. There are multiple pools dotted throughout the resort, several excellent restaurants and a gorgeous spa

And then there’s the kids’ club, which is completely brilliant. Activities are split into age groups, so younger children, older kids and tweens all get experiences tailored to them rather than one giant holiday free-for-all. Expect crafts, sports, games, pool fun and mini discos, alongside the sort of instant holiday friendships that somehow form within approximately thirty seconds of arrival

10. Iberostar Selection Playa de Muro Village, Mallorca

If ever there was a hotel designed for easy beach holidays with children, Iberostar Selection Playa de Muro Village might just be it.

Sitting directly on one of Mallorca’s loveliest beaches, this relaxed, family-focused resort has mastered the art of blending laid-back Mediterranean charm with all the practical things parents actually need to enjoy themselves

Playa de Muro is ideal for younger children thanks to its shallow, calm sea and enormous stretch of soft sand that practically demands long bucket-and-spade days. The hotel itself feels calm and spacious, with low-rise buildings set amongst gardens rather than towering resort blocks. Suites are designed with families in mind, offering separate living spaces, generous balconies that are ideal hangouts when little ones are asleep

Facilities are extensive and well laid out. There are multiple pools, splash zones, playgrounds, sports courts and plenty of open space for children to roam. Dining is flexible and family-friendly too, with lots of choice. Check out the fantastic buffet at the Gregal restaurant which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner or eat by the see at Embat Beach restaurant where you can watch the waves with a cocktail in hand

Star Camp is the big draw for many returning families. Iberostar’s brilliantly organised kids’ club programme splits children into age-specific groups, meaning activities feel genuinely engaging whether you’re travelling with a four-year-old or a teenager. Monkey is for ages 4 to 7, Dolphin is for 8 to 12, meanwhile, Eagle is for 13 to 17-year-olds. Dolphin and Eagle are open in July and August. Expect treasure hunts, pool games, sports, creative workshops, mini discos and watersports

Set on Corfu’s lush northern coastline, LUXME Grecotel Costa Botanica is a sprawling five-star resort that feels less like a traditional hotel and more like a little holiday village tucked between greenery and sea. It’s peaceful, wonderfully spacious and just the thing for families who want equal parts relaxation and activities

The setting is undeniably special. A kilometre-long natural beach stretches alongside the resort, while pathways, waterways and huge green spaces create that lovely slow-paced holiday feeling where nobody is rushing anywhere – except maybe for a crêpe at the Chocolate Bar which is the stuff of dreams for kids

Accommodation is spread throughout village-style neighbourhoods and rooms range from traditional and charming to more contemporary beach-inspired styles, there’s tons to choose from but families often plump for the large 2-bed family apartments here or the Playroom Suites are slightly larger still and ideal for families of 5 (plus a baby)

At a resort lie this you’re here for the fun as well as the chilling out and there’s plenty of that on tap. A massive 40.000m² waterpark, several pools, sports facilities, a dreamy spa and a choice of 5 globe-spanning restaurants, alongside thoughtful extras like nature trails and outdoor experiences that make the whole resort feel a little different from your standard all-inclusive.

The outstanding Grecoland Kids’ Club welcomes Tiny Travellers from 4 upwards with an imagination-inspiring curriculum. Days are spent meeting and greeting donkeys, enjoying locally led cooking classes and relishing green-fingered fun via the Botanist Lab. Then there’s the Aqua Park: a watery wonderland of heart-pumping slides and snooze-inducing lazy rivers. Evenings are equally varied, and family friendly, with live performances, al fresco cinema screenings and beachfront campfires on the agenda

XO Cape Arnna feels like it was designed by parents who fully understand what makes a holiday either one you dream of going back or never want to repeat. All boxes are ticked here. Set on Turkey’s stunning Fethiye coastline, this stylish all-inclusive resort effortlessly combines chic boutique-hotel aesthetics with full-scale family entertainment. The result is a luxury escape where children are wildly happy, and adults still feel like they’re somewhere that’s giving them an actual break

The location is a huge part of the appeal. You’ve got turquoise sea views, boat trips, beach clubs and buzzy waterfront restaurants nearby, all wrapped up in that glorious Turkish Riviera sunshine that instantly puts everyone in a good mood. Better still, transfers are manageable – deeply important once travelling with overtired children enters the equation

You’ll find spacious suites, swim-up rooms and even rooftop pools available for families wanting to go all in on holiday mode. Interiors are elegant and calming, but crucially the rooms are practical too and all the baby kit (cot, highchairs etc) you need can be provided

Kiddos will love the huge pools and the cool waterpark (mega brownie points for that folks), but the real standout is Lumi’s World – a kids’ club setup that feels more like an immersive play universe than standard holiday daycare. There are themed activity zones, STEM workshops, gaming areas, creative sessions and soft play spaces – designed to truly engage children rather than simply occupy them. It’s thoughtful, imaginative and seriously impressive.

Mum and dad will love the stylish dining spaces, sports facilities, wellness areas and entertainment keep the whole resort buzzing from morning until bedtime. One particularly clever touch is the split between family zones and adults-only spaces, meaning parents can still carve out moments of calm between splash-park sessions. Yes, it’s definitely a splurge holiday, but between the gorgeous design, brilliant family setup and huge amount included, it really does feel worth it
