Revealed: The best resorts for families in 2021

Queensland has scooped the pool in the Holidays with Kids Best Resorts Awards winning the top three places in both the under 4-star and above 4-star categories domestically.

Gold Coast resorts took the top spot in both categories. Sea World Resort and Waterpark on the Gold Coast was voted the best family resort in the above 4-star category and Paradise Resort on the Gold Coast took the crown for best resort under 4-stars.

It’s a good sign that families are keen to travel north, once the coronavirus pandemic subsides and state borders return to normal.

Australian families are still keen to return to Fiji once international flights resume. Holidays with Kids split Fiji accommodation into three categories due to the volume of votes and resorts on offer.
