A private island resort in Turks and Caicos almost sounds too good to be true for family travelers, but true it is. Ambergris Cay, a private island resort about 600 miles south of Miami, is packed full of romance, relaxation and, now, incredible options for family fun.

Ambergris Cay is not just ultra-exclusive, it’s also home to its own private runway and more than 1,100 acres of raw natural beauty. The pièce de résistance is an incredible all-inclusive resort that leaves no detail unaccounted for.
Families can choose from a variety of accommodation options, ranging from cozy one- and two-bedroom bungalows to ultra-luxurious villas with up to six bedrooms, ideal for multigenerational families to bond among the pristine turquoise waters and white sandy beaches of the island.

As part of your stay, participate in a variety of family-friendly activities across the island, like snorkeling, pickleball and tennis (along with tennis lessons from a pro), and plenty of hiking and kayaking. Plenty of the resort’s activities are ideal for parents who want to enjoy a little time on their own. The Explorer’s Club at the Club House gives kids the perfect hangout while parents relax. This kid-centric program is offered daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and features a range of activities for kids of all ages, from outdoor sports and sandcastle building to cultural storytelling and island-inspired arts and crafts like jewelry making. There is even a weekly talent show for kids every Sunday.
When you are ready to come together as a family for a day of fun, there are great options included in your stay, like guided tours to teach you about the island’s flora and fauna.
While all of the above is included, including spectacular meals, you can also book add-ons like whale watching, sunset cruises and private beach picnics on nearby Little Ambergris Cay. Whether you stick with the all-inclusive perks of Ambergris Cay or go above and beyond with extra activities, the family will enjoy a little trip to paradise and some much-needed quality time together.
