The 10 Best Family Hotels in Miami Beach

Families love Miami Beach for the watersports, white sands, sunshine and the generally laid-back vibe. Alongside such obvious lures for a family break, it comes as no surprise that there are also a wide range of family-orientated hotels with something to suit most tastes and budgets. Our Hotel Gurus have hand-selected the cream of the crop with options including great value beachside boltholes, Art Deco luxury resorts or hotels with a wide choice of activities. So why not browse through our collection of the best family friendly hotels in Miami Beach to start planning your trip?

For great value

Great value self-contained hideaways can be found at 1818 Meridian House. The tropical-chic rooms are spacious, the large windows brushed with exotic plants and palm trees, and some of the classy, light-filled apartments can sleep up to 5. The memory foam mattresses are divine and it's near to some of South Beach's best restaurants.
Hotel Impala is one of the best value family hotels in Miami Beach. Designed by Versace's very own architect, expect some seriously grand interiors. Families get the option of rollaway beds or interconnecting rooms. The award-winning Spiga Ristorante Italiano serves up sumptuous fare. You get a lot for your money here.

For Art Deco design

Life is centred around the swimming pool at The National Hotel - a straight and narrow pool lined with trees and the longest in Miami; that's just one reason why it is touted as one of the best family hotels in Miami Beach. There is also a poolside bar, cabana spa and the Tamara bistro. Families will love the Ocean View Family Rooms featuring interconnecting rooms and bathrooms. Ultimately, this is a smart and elegant hotel indicative of Miami's Art Deco scene in the 1940s.
Cadillac Hotel & Beach Club is one of the most kid friendly Miami Beach hotels. This Art Deco masterpiece, with its modern European makeover, not only has direct beach access but a Kids' concierge, free beach toys and a family pool. The light, airy and elegant rooms have sink-into beds and private balconies with gorgeous views and parents will love unwinding in the spa.

For the watersports

The Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne is both luxurious yet family-orientated. This mega-resort has a huge tennis court complex, 4 restaurants, kayaking, sailing, a private beach and a Kids Club that resembles the set of a Nickelodeon show. Parents will love the 20,000 square foot spa specialising in West Indian treatment and the smart-yet-homely rooms decked in pastels and abstract sea-art.

For seclusion

The Mandarin Oriental Miami offers the sort of privacy, relaxation and fun that many families are looking for. The Kids Club, 20,000 square foot beach and waterfront dining are an obvious lure but the enormous, light-filled and stylish rooms and suites - each with their own private balcony - are a great space for some relaxed time together.

For luxury

A theatrical blaze of colour, Faena Miami Beach has the chic, late Art Deco decor of a candy shop. But that's not why it's one of Miami Beach's most kid friendly hotels. To be clear: it has its own theatre and cabaret troupe. Yessir. Then there's the highly-acclaimed Kids Club to consider, babysitting services, two swimming pools and large family suites. Also, the 3 restaurants - Mexican, French and Asian. Luxury defined.
When it comes to entertaining kids, Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club is arguably the best. The Kids Club offers sandcastle building competitions, poolside fun, and family excursions. Then, there's the hotel's own private yacht, which families can hire for a sailing trip. An Art Deco beauty of the 1930s renovated for the age of Instagram, there are 4 restaurants, pools with private cabanas and direct beach access. Hands-down, one of the most kid-friendly hotels in Miami Beach.
Ritz Carlton Coconut Grove is a smart and grand affair: from the glamorous lobby, with its mosaic-tiled columns, to the marble-tiled bathrooms of the smart and spacious rooms. Families will love the palm-fringed swimming pool while the Kids Club is fun yet educational, focusing on conservation and culture. The poolside cafe, 6,000 square foot spa, and mouth-watering Grill complete the picture.

For a nature retreat

1 Hotel South Beach is a sprawling luxury beachside retreat and one of the best family hotels in Miami Beach. With 4 pools - including a lovely rooftop pool boasting jaw dropping vistas - huge bedrooms styled with smart, tropical-chic minimalism, it has a winning formula. But for families with young kids, the kids club is the real draw, where nature walks, seashell art and bird feeders are the name-of-the-game. The award-winning cuisine is a fantastic extra and the watersports on offer will keep everyone entertained.
