Booking a family vacation is like assembling a puzzle with a million moving pieces. You need space (because, let’s face it, no one wants to be crammed in one room with a jet-lagged toddler), a layout that makes sense, and—ideally—some luxury that reminds you this is, in fact, a vacation.
But the best family suites aren’t just about square footage; they’re about smart design, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and enough privacy so no one sleeps in a closet to get some peace and quiet. These suites go beyond the basics, offering thoughtful amenities, breathtaking locations, and the kind of effortless comfort that makes you wonder if you should just move in permanently.
Finest Playa Mujeres — Mexico
At Finest Playa Mujeres, the Family Suites are the Goldilocks of vacation accommodations—just the right size for families who want space without feeling like they’ve booked an entire hotel wing. Over three times the size of a standard hotel room, these suites feel more like a private apartment than a temporary stay.
A king-size bed anchors the master bedroom, while a separate kids’ bedroom features two single beds, so everyone gets their own dedicated space. Expansive living areas, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sleek modern decor create an airy, welcoming retreat. Whether you’re unwinding on the private balcony or enjoying room service in the suite’s stylish interiors, this spot is built for maximum comfort (and minimal sibling squabbles).
Eden Roc Cap Cana — Dominican Republic
At Eden Roc Cap Cana, the Luxury Pool Family Suites are the sweet spot between five-star indulgence and homey comfort. The master bedroom features a king-size bed and a spa-like bathroom, while the second bedroom—complete with bunk beds—feels like the ultimate kids’ clubhouse. But the real showstopper? A private pool right outside your door. Because nothing says “vacation” like sipping your morning coffee poolside while the kids wear themselves out before noon.
AREV St. Tropez — France
St. Tropez isn’t just for yacht-hopping celebrities anymore. AREV St. Tropez is making the Côte d’Azur more family-friendly with its latest addition: a standalone villa featuring ten Junior Suites and a bi-level Double Suite surrounding a private pool.
Each suite is a masterclass in understated luxury—expansive terraces, plush bedding, and an effortless blend of modern design and Mediterranean charm. The Double Suite kicks things up a notch with two levels of living space, panoramic views, and direct access to the property’s sun-drenched courtyard. Translation: you’ll feel like you own a villa in the South of France without actually having to buy one.
The Chedi Andermatt — Switzerland
Ski vacations with kids are basically a logistical triathlon—unless you stay at The Chedi Andermatt. The Gotthard Suite is a full-fledged mountain retreat, accommodating up to ten guests without feeling like a glorified sleepover.
The split-level hideaway features four bunk beds for the kids (plus a dedicated children’s bathroom), while a massive TV room filled with oversized bean bags sets the stage for cozy movie nights. Meanwhile, parents can enjoy a sleek modern kitchen, a built-in wine fridge (a necessity, not a luxury), and a private balcony with sweeping views of the Swiss Alps. Because après-ski should also include après-parenting.
Martinhal Chiado — Lisbon, Portugal
City vacations with kids usually mean sacrificing space, but Martinhal Chiado flips the script with their family apartments—expansive, thoughtfully designed suites that give parents and kids room to breathe.
Each apartment features a separate living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and bedrooms that feel more like a high-end residence than a hotel stay. Floor-to-ceiling windows let in plenty of light, while stylish furnishings keep things chic yet comfortable. And for parents who want to enjoy a night out in Lisbon without the usual bedtime battles, the soundproofed walls mean everyone (including your downstairs neighbors) gets a good night’s sleep.
Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa — Cayman Islands
For families who want the best of both ocean views and spacious living, the Ocean View Family Suites at Kimpton Seafire deliver. These suites range from a generous 900 to a palatial 1,620 square feet, meaning no one has to fight for personal space.
Each suite includes a private balcony overlooking the ocean or pool, allowing families to soak up the island’s breathtaking beauty without leaving the room. The one-bedroom option features a king bed, a pull-out sofa sleeper in the living room, and two full bathrooms.
Need more room? The two-bedroom suite ups the ante with an additional bedroom featuring bunk beds plus an extra full bathroom—bringing the total to three. That’s three bathrooms, meaning no one has to wait in line after a long beach day.
The best family suites aren’t just about size; they’re about creating a space where every guest—young or old—feels at home. Because at the end of the day, a truly great hotel stay isn’t just where you sleep—it’s where the best vacation memories begin.
