When you’re travelling with kids, a good kids club can make all the difference. Your chances of a few hours to relax go up exponentially when your kids are happy to head off for a few hours of fun. Some resorts take good kids clubs to the next level.
Paradise Resort, Gold Coast, Queensland
The Paradise Resort on the Gold Coast is perfectly named: it really is a kid’s paradise. The kids club operates four sessions a day for newborns through to twelve-year-olds, and facilities include a water park, laser tag and an ice skating rink. There’s a reason Paradise Resort is regularly named the best family resort in Australia.
LeDune Resort and Spa, Sardinia
The LeDune Resort and Spa has not one but four different kids clubs, catering to kids of different ages, all the way through to teenagers. A special kids restaurant, a replica Wild West Village, an inflatable pirate ship and a kids-only pool are just some of the incredible facilities at the island resort.
Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort
For the budding marine scientist, there could be no better place to visit than the Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort in Savusavu, Fiji.
