From Riviera coves to Cycladic islands, Europe makes family luxury effortless. Below, our 2026 short-list explains what truly works for every age, connecting suites, kids clubs, calm beaches and easy transfers, plus the resorts we book most often for US families.
How to Choose a Luxury Family Resort (Ages, Layout, Season)
Layouts that work — guaranteed connecting suites or 2-bedroom villas; heated pools; quiet rooms for naps.
Kids programs — supervised clubs by age, baby amenities (sterilizers, monitors), teen activities after 7pm.
Sea & season — calm coves (Riviera/Greek isles) for little swimmers; spring/fall for warmer but uncrowded days.
Logistics — short airport transfers (≤60 min), car seats pre-fitted, proposals for multi-family trips.
Staffing — certified nannies, drivers, chef nights so parents can actually relax.
Our Curated Short-List by Region
France — Riviera & Provence
Hôtel Royal (Évian-les-Bains) — Connecting suites, well-run kids’ programming and easy lake activities; a calm base with spa time for parents and wide lawns for younger children.
Riviera family option (Cannes/Cap-Ferrat) — Short transfers, sheltered coves and summer kids’ clubs; book inter-connecting rooms or a two-bedroom suite and add a day-yacht for teens.
Italy — Tuscany & Amalfi
Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco (Tuscany) — Multi-generation villas with kitchens, kids’ cooking classes and drivers for Siena and Val d’Orcia; heated pools and late-sun terraces for relaxed evenings.
Belmond coastal option — Family-friendly layouts, e-bikes/green lanes and flexible dinner hours; drivers for Pompeii, Capri or cliffside villages keep logistics simple.
Greece — Athens & Islands
Four Seasons Astir Palace (Athens) — Ideal pre- or post-islands base: kids’ club, protected bay for paddleboarding and ferry/flight connections with minimal stress.
Andronis Arcadia (Santorini) — Family suites with private pools and sunset views; pair with a sand-beach island for calmer waters and a crewed yacht day.
Spain — Andalusia & Balearics
Puente Romano (Marbella) — Strong kids’ club, sandy beach and dozens of dining options; easy day trips to white villages for culture between pool time.
Hacienda Na Xamena (Ibiza) — Cliffside views and gentle water activities; confirm suitability by age, then plan boat coves and old-town strolls at cooler hours.
Portugal — Algarve
Pine Cliffs (Algarve) — Direct beach access via elevators, reliable kids’ club and simple transfers from Faro; request guaranteed connecting rooms or opt for a two-bedroom suite.
Cyprus / Turkey / Croatia / Montenegro
Almyra (Cyprus) — Calm seas, stroller-friendly promenade and a kids’ club that actually engages; great shoulder-season light.
Hillside Beach Club (Turkey) — Purpose-built for families with protected bays and activity choice; align travel weeks with your children’s ages and the club schedule.
Sun Gardens Dubrovnik (Croatia) — Seafront setting with easy old-town excursions; good for mixing heritage walks and pool days.
One&Only Portonovi (Montenegro) — Spacious family suites, spa and marina-based water sports; add a private boat to explore the bays at your own pace.
We keep this selection focused on properties that consistently perform for multi-generation families, with age-appropriate clubs, layouts and transfers.
