Here are some of the best family-friendly hotels in Miami for a vacation to remember.
Loews Miami Beach Hotel
Parents and kids will feel like they’ve won the vacation lottery at the Loews Miami Beach Hotel, one of the best South Beach hotels for families. This beachfront winner is beloved for its huge, family-friendly pool with a gently sloping entry where little ones splash and toddle, plus the private SOAK cabanas with air conditioning and private indoor showers.
The hotel recently renovated all of its rooms and suites, and reinvented two new dining options, Bistro Collins and The Sushi Bar, which are perfect for a casual family dinner. When it’s time for a break, parents can drop off the kiddos at the SoBe Kids Club, where they’ll climb on a lifeguard stand playscape and take part in activities and crafts. Beeline to Sea Spa for some well-deserved pampering, or have a date night at high-end Italian restaurant, Rao’s Miami Beach.
JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa
For thrills and chills, JW Marriott Miami Turnberry Resort & Spa in Aventura is a top family-friendly resort that doubles as an epic water park. Hotel guests receive two complimentary daily passes to the on-property Tidal Cove where they can loop the lazy river, rocket down seven waterslides and let the small kids splash around at the Kids Cove water playscape.
Kids under the age of three eat for free at on-site CORSAIR kitchen & bar for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The whole family can stay active at the new Turnberry Isle Racquet Club, featuring tournament-grade pickleball and padel courts. And kids younger than 15 play for free with a paying adult after 2:30 p.m. at the resort’s world-class golf courses.
When everyone needs a resort break, take the family to shop at the massive Aventura Mall just a few minutes away.
Kimpton Surfcomber Miami, South Beach
Kimpton Surfcomber Miami is another family-friendly South Beach hotel that understands what it takes to make the whole crew happy. The hotel is known for its tropical backyard that fronts the beach and a sparkling pool with cabanas that can be rented. Staff set the fun meter at high daily, hosting DAYLIFE activities like backyard family games, cooking lessons for little chefs, sports games and arts and crafts.
Through a partnership with Bouyah! Watersports, families can hop on a banana boat ride, take a jet ski for a spin, or go parasailing above the water. Freshly re-styled rooms and suites also cater to family life, with large suites with pull-out couch beds. Some even have a private outdoor green space.
InterContinental Miami
If your crew is into culture and museum-hopping, the InterContinental Miami in Downtown Miami is a top choice for families. With a prime waterfront perch along Biscayne Bay, this gigantic hotel places guests in walking distance to family-friendly museums like Frost Science, and to Bayside Marketplace, where you can float above the city on the Skyviews Miami observation wheel.
The hotel recently renovated its spacious rooms and suites, and kids will love the rooftop pool deck (with plenty of green spaces for play). Dining includes the Pan-Latin restaurant Toro Toro, and families can spring for access to Club InterContinental, a private lounge serving breakfast, afternoon tea and snacks throughout the day.
The InterContinental is also minutes by car from PortMiami, which makes it an optimal pre or-post-cruise stay.
The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne, Miami
For 25 years, The Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne has been a quintessential family-friendly vacation spot for annual multi-generational vacations. Located about 20 minutes from Downtown Miami, many come for the beachfront resort’s sprawling location on 17 acres in serene Key Biscayne. This Ritz is fresh from a $100-million transformation, with renovated rooms and suites, an expanded spa and a new Ritz Kids Club with interactive programming.
Families won’t need to leave the resort for food, as there are six distinct dining options with food that caters to all tastes. There’s a popular family pool and one for adults only. Kids love racing down the beach and playing in the sand, and many families splash in the shallow waters until sunset.
Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach
One of the most luxurious family resorts in Miami is Acqualina Resort & Residences on the Beach in Sunny Isles Beach. The Forbes Five-Star hotel is a family dream with multi-bedroom suites offering plenty of space, three oceanfront swimming pools and a special outdoor activities field for games like soccer and basketball.
During the day, families gravitate to the living room-style set up on the beachfront lawn, or rent a cabana for privacy and space. On the weekends, kids can join AcquaMarine Camp, a complimentary marine biology-themed program for children ages 4 to 12. While the kids are at camp, parents can get a pampering treatment at the renowned Acqualina Spa, or hide out at the adults-only pool for some quiet time.
