Characteristics of family hotels
Family hotels are designed to adapt to all kinds of needs, offering spaces designed for young and old to enjoy alike. In destinations such as Barceló Fuerteventura Mar., Barceló Lanzarote Active Resort, Barceló Tambor - All Inclusive or Allegro Cozumel, the little ones find their own universe in the Barcy Club, a themed space where they can play, learn and participate in activities guided by specialised monitors. Creative workshops, outdoor games, mini-disco and educational proposals are part of the experience, always adapted to age.
Unlike other types of establishments, Barceló Hotel Group's family accommodations have spacious rooms, swimming pools with children's areas, water parks, activities for all ages and entertainment programmes that allow adults to relax while the children have fun. All this creates a comfortable and complete environment where each member of the family can live the holidays in their own way, but sharing unforgettable moments.
Hotels with children's entertainment
Children's entertainment in these accommodations is very important, with programmes designed for the little ones to learn while having fun. The teams prepare activities segmented by age from 4 to 7 years old, from 8 to 12 years old and in some cases programmes for adolescents, which allows dynamics and experiences to be adapted to each group.
During the day , workshops, crafts, gymkhanas, games in the pool, sports activities and shows designed for them are organised. The schedules are usually organised in morning and afternoon slots, so that you can plan the day comfortably.
What destinations are the hotels for families?
Family hotels are present in some of the most comfortable and attractive destinations for travelling with children. In the Caribbean, places such as the Dominican Republic, Mexico or Costa Rica offer beaches with calm waters, natural parks and activities for all ages, creating an ideal environment to combine relaxation and adventure. In the Canary Islands, destinations such as Tenerife, Lanzarote or Fuerteventura stand out for their warm climate throughout the year, their wide beaches and their volcanic landscapes, which allow you to enjoy both the sea and family excursions. In the Mediterranean, areas such as Andalusia, Mallorca or Menorca offer safe coves, coastal walks, local gastronomy and urban centres perfect for discovering without haste.
Family moments that stay with you
Water Park Hotels
Hotels with water parks offer spaces designed for children to enjoy themselves to the fullest while adults relax. In complexes such as Occidental Jandía Mar, Barceló Huatulco or the Barceló Bávaro Palace, the little ones will find slides of different heights, pirate ships, jet areas, shallow pools and themed play areas designed for all ages.
These facilities are typically located in independent areas within the resort, with controlled access and continuous lifeguard supervision. In addition, many have heated water, shade, sun loungers and rest areas designed for those who accompany the little ones.
Destinations with family resorts
At Barceló you will find family resorts in some of the most special destinations in the world, where nature and comfort combine to create the perfect environment to enjoy together. In the Caribbean, complexes such as Barceló Maya Grand Resort stand out for their turquoise water beaches, water parks, mini-clubs and extensive leisure areas designed for all ages. In the Canary Islands, complexes such as Barceló Fuerteventura Mar stand out for their sports activities, swimming pools for all ages and entertainment programmes. All of these resorts offer extensive facilities, daily entertainment, children's spaces and an experience designed for each member of the family to find their own plan.
