More and more hotels welcome family travelers with exclusive family-friendly programming. Global Wellness Institute highlighted this trend by listing “wellness holidays with kids” as a growing focus, emphasizing child growth through activities promoting fun and wellbeing. Here are three hotels offering fun and educational kids programming worth the family trip:
This recently opened flagship of the Conrad brand offers Orlando’s only beachfront experience and is a unique setting for luxury family travel. When the kids aren’t enjoying the massive waterslide or other outdoor activities, they can head to the resort’s premier kids’ club. Every day, kids will embark on adventures designed to spark their curiosity as they explore Florida’s diverse landscapes, exciting wildlife and rich cultural history. Enjoy hands-on educational programs, nature experiences and more.

Located on picturesque May River, Montage Palmetto Bluff offers young travelers the opportunity to explore with activities like scavenger hunts, bike rides, nature hikes showcasing South Carolina’s Lowcountry and more. Teens can head to Spa Montage for manicures, pedicures and facials designed just for them, while kids ages 5–12 can showcase their creativity with crafts and games in the Paintbox Program. Treat the kids to a Children’s Night Out offering movies, dinner and games.

Destin Fort-Walton Beach offers a natural playground filled with water adventures, white-sand beaches, mouth-watering dishes and a variety of activities for kids, both on land and in the water. On land, young travelers can camp and spend the night under the stars at one of the resort’s 60 campsites. For families looking to head out on the water, book a nearshore fishing charter like Scallywag Charters. Captain Nick Kirby will teach kids how to fish while learning about the wildlife and ways to preserve the ecosystem. Other activities to keep the kids busy include bicycles, paddleboards, kayaks and a trip to Poppy’s Kids Club.
