With sprawling white sandy beaches and tons of attractions for all ages, finding some of the most kid-friendly vacation rentals and hotels in Miami Beach is a must to make the most of your time in the area. A world-famous aquarium, fun museums, water parks, and indoor arcades make Miami an ideal place to visit during school vacation. Here are some of the most family-friendly places to de-camp at.
The Fontainebleau
As with many of the top hotels in the area that offer childcare services, the FB staff looking after your kids are background screened and rigorously trained. They perform the Itavi Method™. It’s an engaging program curated by industry experts consisting of play, exercise, learning and crafting that highlights your destination’s local and unique culture.
When your kids are by your side and at the hotel, they’ll hardly get a chance to catch their breath between the multiple small dipping pools or the interactive children’s waterscape. In addition, MAK Realty‘s suites offer kitchenettes and multiple sleeping options so you can cook, snack, and laze around with the entire family. Poolside outdoor dining options and the beach are a mere walk from the hotel’s exterior, ensuring that a stay at the Fontainebleau will be a vacation your kids will remember.
The Four Seasons
The Four Seasons is a luxurious and elegant hotel with 221 rooms and suites. The hotel also offers a kids’ club, where children can enjoy supervised activities, such as arts and crafts, games, movies, and scavenger hunts. The hotel provides complimentary cribs, high chairs, strollers, and toys for infants and toddlers.
The Miami Beach Edition
Don’t let the chic interior of the Miami Beach Edition fool you into thinking that it’s not kid-friendly. The hotel also offers a kids’ club, where children can enjoy fun and educational activities, such as cooking classes, yoga, beach games, and treasure hunts. The hotel also provides complimentary cribs, rollaway beds, and toys for infants and toddlers.
Grand Beach Hotel
Newly renovated, the Grand Beach Hotel enjoys two pools and two hot tubs available on the first level, which families can enjoy with plenty of shade to keep the soaring sun at bay. A kids’ play area adjacent to the pools allows parents some downtime with the kids always in sight.
Loews Miami Beach
Loews goes all out for its pint-sized patrons with a host of counselors, conductor beach tours, Wii competitions at Kids Camp, and DVDs and PlayStations that are also available for hire in your rooms: all this and the hotel’s huge, shallow, free-form pool makes this a pleasure dome of play.
The Ritz-Carlton South Beach
The huge pool is the main attraction here. Ritz-Kidz is the hotel’s supervised club for kids aged 5-12, offering kite decorating, video games, and basic Spanish.
The Savoy Hotel South Beach
The Art-Deco Savoy Hotel South Beach offers 75 tranquil rooms with private beach access. The real plus for families is the private kitchenette in each room, making expensive eating out optional.
Versace Mansion View Suite at The Strand
Named after the famous designer’s residence, Versace Mansion View Suite at The Strand is steps away from Art Deco Historic District and a 2-minute walk from Lummus Park. A fully equipped kitchenette is helpful for families with small kids with the beach nearby.
Summary
Rain or shine — and there’s usually a lot more shine than rain — Miami gives you plenty of options for children. Aside from its largest natural attraction — the beach — the ability to self-cater or eat out, enjoy supervised activities, and indoor and outdoor entertainment guarantee that the phrases, “I’m bored,” or “There’s nothing to do,” will never leave your kids’ mouths.
