Family hotels with large rooms and activities for kids

If you are parents, you already know that traveling as a family is an art. You are no longer looking for the quietest place, but instead want to enjoy your holidays in a family-friendly hotel with activities for kids, great swimming pools and a beach nearby.

If you are planning your next summer getaway, take note. Pep has recommended some of the best family hotels for children in Costa Brava, Spain and Costa Dorada, Spain.

Hotels for young children near the beach

"Hi Pep, I’m Marta. We are parents with a 4-year-old child. We want to go somewhere near the beach this summer, but we don’t want to get bored. What type of hotel is best for such young kids?"

Hi Marta, I believe you will all enjoy my recommendation. For young children, the ideal choice is family hotels with activities for all ages and areas specially designed for little ones to have the best time. Don’t settle for just a pool—look for fun and easy access to the beach.

I’m sure that the best option is the Golden Donaire Beach hotel, located on Costa Dorada, Spain. It is practically right on the sand, a true beachfront hotel where stepping out onto the balcony and seeing the Mediterranean Sea is priceless.

In addition, they have recently expanded their Kid Club, a space designed for children with daily activities supervised by an entertainment team. While they enjoy themselves, you can relax by the pool or unwind as a couple.

It’s the perfect choice for your first family holiday with kids in Spain.

Connecting rooms for large families

"Pep, we have three children aged 7, 9 and 12. We need space for everyone, meaning connecting or large rooms. Are there options where we don’t all have to sleep cramped together? We really like the Costa Brava area."

What a great family! With three children of different ages, space in the room is essential. The best option is to choose spacious family rooms or connecting rooms that allow you to enjoy comfort while staying close.

In Costa Brava, Spain, you have a real gem: the Golden Bahía de Tossa & Spa hotel. It stands out for its large family rooms, designed to ensure comfort and proper rest.

For children, it’s a true paradise: it features a pirate ship pool and a daily entertainment program adapted to all ages, from young kids to teenagers. While they are having fun, you can relax and enjoy a truly stress-free family holiday in Spain.

Complete family hotels in Salou

"Hi Pep. This year we want to go to Salou, in Costa Dorada. We are looking for different options: I love spending time with the kids at the pool and near the sea, but my husband prefers facilities with a gym and spa. What would you recommend? Best regards, Sandra."

Great, Sandra! You have the perfect plan because Costa Dorada, Spain and Salou, Spain offer everything for a great family holiday.

If you are looking for a complete hotel that combines children's entertainment and adult wellness, I recommend the Golden Port Salou hotel, located in Salou, Spain. It offers the perfect balance between fun and comfort.

It features large pool areas, play zones for children and a highly rated entertainment program. It also includes a gym and spa, ideal for taking some time to relax. And the best part: the beach is only a few minutes’ walk away.

The secret to a great family holiday

To all the parents reading this, the secret to a great holiday is not finding the most luxurious hotel, but choosing a family hotel that makes everything easy.

Always look for kid-friendly hotels where children are the main focus. If they are happy and entertained in the pools, kids’ club or with the animation team, you will finally be able to enjoy the rest you truly deserve.

And that’s the key: choosing the right hotel makes all the difference in a family holiday on the Spanish coast.
