Spaniards wouldn’t think of going anywhere without their children, who run underfoot in bars and stay out in their prams until the small hours of the evening. It makes sense, then, that family-friendly hotels in Spain are the norm, making it an incredible destination for the entire pack.
However, fun and sun (and siestas) are only some of the reasons to bring the bunch – some of Europe’s best child-friendly resorts sit in the steamy south, while, in lesser-known corners of the peninsula, storybook hotels with a wholesome, old-fashioned sense of leisure and luxurious vibes nestle among the green mountains. This curated list takes into account lots of different family styles, so whether you’re looking for a resort with all the bells and whistles (kids’ clubs, pools with slides, dedicated children’s restaurants) or a more understated stay you’ll find it here. These are the best family hotels in Spain, from Cantabria to Cádiz, reviewed by our experts.
