Nothing says ‘ohana quite like the Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa on Oahu, where kids get sand-sculpting lessons by day and don leis for a mele celebration on the beach at sunset. And the whole gang can pile into a traditional hand-built canoe for a scenic coastal sail.
Such creative offerings helped Aulani earn the title of No. 1 family beach resort, as voted by T+L readers in the annual World’s Best Awards survey. Convenience is also a factor: Aulani has two-seat casabella beach loungers and snorkel rentals at the ready and, back in the rooms, bassinets and baby-proofed balconies. Other winning properties across the U.S., the Caribbean, and Mexico follow suit, catering to families with a mix of the practical and the delightful.
At the bamboo-furnished Four Seasons Resort Costa Rica at Peninsula Papagayo—in a protected area of lush forest and pristine beaches—the complimentary Kids for All Seasons program features hermit-crab hunts and bird-watching.
Collecting pink seashells and learning to surf are on the agenda at Florida’s Hammock Beach Resort, which also caters to kids with a 91,000-square-foot water park, complete with a lazy river and water flume.
In short, no need to worry about riptide, sunburns, childcare—no need to worry at all. From sheltered saltwater lagoons to shaded chaises, these top-ranking beach resorts have families covered.
No. 1 Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, Kapolei, HI
Hawaii is a favorite family destination, and with its Disney pedigree, the Aulani knows just how to surprise and delight kids of all ages. On Oahu’s western shore, the resort occupies a crescent stretch of pristine Ko Olina beach, where families gather for sand-sculpting contests, treasure hunts, and sunset mele celebrations. For a more traditional take on Oahu water sports, your brood can board a hand-built Hawaiian sailing canoe to explore the coastline and learn the history of the islands.
No. 2 Beaches Turks & Caicos Resort Villages & Spa
From Miami, flight time is less than two hours to Providenciales, where this easy-breezy, all-inclusive resort is ready to welcome families. Many head straight for the 45,000-square-foot water park. There’s also a surfing simulator and a DJ academy. Accommodations are spread across four enclaves styled in the distinct architectures of the Caribbean, Italy, Key West, and France—and on 12 miles of white-sand beach that are blissfully tropical. Beach valets offer fresh towels and refreshing mist sprays after your plunge into the turquoise waters on the introductory scuba diving program.
No. 3 Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Golf Resort, SC
Sanctuary combines the appeal of a beachfront location with elegant antebellum mansion–like architecture. Beyond the golf courses, spa, and three pools, it caters to families with a comprehensive kids’ program, including glassmaking, tie-dying, fly-fishing, and archery. For more adventures, set out from the resort by bike or hike into the maritime forests and marshes.
