Family-friendly accommodation combining comfort with activities for all ages
Traveling as a family requires accommodation adapted to the needs of young and old. Spacious areas, children's entertainment, and varied dining options are some of the key factors that families value when choosing a hotel. In Spain, travelers can find establishments that stand out for their offerings specially designed for children, combining comfort and fun. The prestigious Spanish magazine Ser Padres has selected the best hotels based on their ability to offer memorable experiences for the whole family, ensuring comfort, safety, and entertainment. The two best hotels are located in the Balearic Islands: Royal Son Bou Family Club (Menorca) and Zafiro Can Picafort (Mallorca). The former has also been named Best Family Hotel in Spain and ranks seventh in Europe, according to TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice Hotels for Families awards; while the latter stands out for being located just 200 meters from Cala Mesquida and offering exclusive children's facilities, such as the swimming pool with pirate ship or the Bufo Mini Club.
The Bahia Principe Fantasia Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, is a castle-themed hotel widely appreciated for offering live shows, swimming pools and water play areas, restaurants, and buffets adapted to the needs of families. The featured hotels also include Playacálida Spa Hotel (Almuñécar, Granada), with an infinity pool overlooking the sea, water park with slides, daily entertainment, spa, and an ideal environment for families. Meanwhile, Magic Aqua Rock Gardens (Benidorm, Alicante) offers an all-inclusive African-themed vacation experience, as well as aquatic facilities and a games room with virtual-reality technologies, simulators, and consoles. Another of the best-ranked establishments is Hotel PortAventura (Tarragona), which allows families to stay inside the famous theme park, with direct access to its attractions. Its pools, themed setting, and shows offer an immersive experience perfect for a vacation with children.
