There’s no doubt that a hotel stay with kids is completely different to a romantic getaway. But many hotels are getting better at delivering something for every member of the family. One of them is Acqualina Resort & Spa in Miami.
Having just received a five-star rating from Forbes Travel Guide for the third year in a row, Acqualina leads the pack when it comes to family-friendliness. Its offerings for children include pizza making classes and dinner and movie nights. Probably best of all is their children’s marine biology programme AcquaMarine which perfectly marries fun activities such as eco-explorations and obstacle courses with learning about the local environment.
Throw in breathtaking views of the ocean and a resort that sponsors students in one of Miami’s less affluent neighbourhoods and this has got to be a top choice for families looking to get away to the beach.
Top tip
Check out the “Junior Guards” beach-awareness workshop at Acqualina, which teaches children all about what it takes to be a life guard.
