Plantation Island Resort offers a slice of paradise for all families with activities galore. The little ones can join in on all the fun at the Coconut Kids’ Club where limbo, pineapple cracking, crab racing and coconut boat making are on the agenda. There’s an abundance of activities for teens and a variety of beach games plus kayaking, putt putt mini-golf and crabbing. Parents can enjoy peace and quiet alongside one of the three freshwater swimming pools or tee off at the oceanside golf course. Otherwise, enjoy some family fun peddling around the island on the resort’s Bula Bikes or cooling off snorkelling.
Nestled on a private island in Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands, Castaway Island is a tropical home away from home. After settling in to your spacious thatched roof bungalow, explore all the island has to offer with bushwalking trails, kayaking, surfing and snorkelling. The kids’ club offers daily fun with a Fijian flair so parents can enjoy a beachside massage or sunrise yoga. Head to the family pool to cool off in the afternoon or take a sunset stroll along the beach. Water’s Edge Restaurant offers delicious dining using local ingredients and the Sundowner Bar serves up woodfired pizza for lunch and dinner.
From the moment you step in to The Naviti Resort, you’ll never want to leave. And luckily for you, the all-inclusive resort features five food and beverage outlets, a pool, golf course, fitness centre and beach right on your front doorstep, meaning that until your flight home, you won’t have to! Kids can head to the Ratu & Adi Vonu Kids’ Club for activities that incorporate elements of Fijian culture, arts, crafts and games. Parents can relax at the Joy Spa or take advantage of the all-day happy hour at the Pool Bar. When the sun goes down enjoy the Gold Night Fire Dancing show.
Tucked up in the hills under Malolo Island Resort’s giant mango tree, Tia’s Treehouse is the ultimate holiday experience for kids aged four to 12. The Yanu Yanu kids’ club program runs out of this treetop hideaway, giving little ones the opportunity to live like a local Malolo Islander with activities such as tapa (cloth) painting, snorkelling lessons and racing in traditional niu boats. Activities have a focus on the marine and natural environment, and kids keep a written diary of their activities, which means they have something for ‘show and tell’ when they get back home.
The surf’s up at Fiji Hideaway Resort & Spa, where little grommets can enjoy hours of fun at the resort-front break. For those less inclined to play in the waves, a variety of other water activities include snorkelling, diving, fishing and trip on a glass-bottom. The Hermit Crab Kids’ Club is also full of fun activities, and kids between four and 12 stay, play and eat for free.
Whether you show off your hat- and basket-weaving skills, attend a traditional kava ceremony, or discover the treasures of the crystal-clear waters that surround, you and the kids are sure to be busy at Mana Island Resort & Spa. The kids’ club is available to little ones up to 12 for two-hour sessions in the morning, afternoon and evening, which means you are free to relax in the adults-only pool.
The Little Treasures Kids’ Club at Treasure Island Resort is a kids’ club with a difference, with many of the activities offered focused on preserving the stunning surrounds of the Mamanuca Islands. The little ones will help in the Hawksbill Turtle Conservation project by collecting exciting decorations to add to the turtle pool, and they can also help count starfish and sea cucumbers. Babysitting services are available for kids up to 12 years old, and baby strollers can be rented to keep your holiday hassle-free.
At DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Hotel Fiji you can go from soaking up the sun in the freeform pool overlooking the beach to swimming among tropical fish in the warm waters of the South Pacific. A free kids’ club runs daily from 10am to 9pm for little ones aged three to 12, while the menu designed for children, cribs, high chairs and babysitting service allow you to holiday with ease.
It’s a tremendous achievement to have your property recognised by the people who matter most: the families who stay there. We love seeing how many wonderful options there are for travellers with kids in tow all across the world, and every year the list is expanding.
As you can probably imagine, it’s a massive job to compile the Top 10 each year, and the Holidays with Kids team has been hard at work for the last few months compiling all the survey responses and sorting them into categories.
