Best Spa Hotels in Split for Families (2026)

Why families love Palazzo President

Of the four, this is the one we'd book for tennis-keen kids. The court is enclosed enough that you don't lose balls every five minutes, the racquet selection includes junior sizes, and the table tennis area gives non-players something to do during their sibling's game. Breakfast caters to early-rising children with eggs cooked to order from 7am. Rooms are large enough for a cot or extra bed. The location, three minutes inside Diocletian's Palace and ten to Bačvice beach, removes the rental car question entirely.

Why families love AC Hotel by Marriott Split

AC Marriott handles the dog-plus-kids combination better than most. Family rooms accommodate two adults, two kids and a medium dog without anyone tripping over the bed, the staff supply pet bowls and a basket on arrival, and the pet fee is the standard 12 EUR per night with no surprise charges. Žnjan dog-beach across the road means morning swims for the dog before kids' beach hours.

Why families love Marmont Heritage Hotel

Marmont suits longer Split stays where the per-stay pet fee cap pays off. The hotel is inside the old town walls, which means morning walks straight onto Roman stone alleys before the day gets busy. Rooms are heritage-style with a bit less floor space than modern hotels but enough for two kids and a small dog. Pet bowls supplied; bring your own dog bed.

Why families love Hotel Park Split

We booked a sea-view room and could literally see the kids from our balcony when they played on the sand. The kid-friendly buffet breakfast had plain pasta and fruit platters that even our picky 5-year-old ate without drama. The reserved beach section was the highlight — while everyone else scrambled for spots at 10am, we strolled down at noon and still had shade. At 1000 EUR/night it is a splurge, but the location cannot be beaten.

Why families love Cora Hotel

The spa was genuinely excellent, the best steam room we have used in Croatia. The catch: kids cannot enter, so we took turns. One parent at the spa, the other at the nearby Žnjan beach with the children. The room was immaculate, modern, quiet. Breakfast on the terrace with sea glimpses made early mornings feel like a holiday, not a chore. At 360 EUR it is not cheap, but the spa quality justifies it.

Why families love Camera Hotel

Three nights in late June with a 9 and 11-year-old. The games nook off the lobby was small but properly stocked: chess, Monopoly, two card decks, and a puzzle in progress that our kids finished by night two. Family room was a connecting double with a daybed for the older kid, very clean. Walked to the seafront in 8 minutes and to the Riva in 12. The nook saved us during a 36-degree afternoon when we couldn't face more old town stone.

Why families love Dioklecijan Hotel & Residence

The 8-minute walk to Bačvice was just right for our family. Close enough to go back and forth for forgotten sunscreen, far enough that the hotel itself was quiet. The rooftop terrace became our evening ritual — the kids had ice cream while we watched ferries come into the harbour. The pool is small but good for cooling off after a beach day. The family suite with a separate living area meant we could put the kids to bed and still have our own space. Staff were fantastic with the children.

Why families love Marvie Hotel & Health

Marvie surprised us. The indoor pool saved a rainy morning in September when the beach was not an option. The rooftop pool is small but has harbour views and we had it to ourselves before 9am. The beach below the hotel is rocky, so we walked 10 minutes east to Žnjan proper for better conditions. Staff at reception printed colouring sheets for the kids without us asking, which was a nice touch. The spa has a couples' treatment we managed to book while the kids watched a film in the room. At 530 EUR/night it sits in the upper-mid range, justified by having both pools and the wellness facilities.

Why families love Divota Apartment Hotel

Varoš is the old fisherman's quarter and it has kept a village feel, which parents say is the real win here. Kids can run around in the tiny squares between apartments without traffic. The on-site spa offers massages for exhausted parents, and there's a small garden area for coffee. Apartments vary in size so ask for photos of your specific unit. Good value compared to hotels inside the palace, and the walk to the beach is shorter than from the old town.

Why families love Art Hotel

The hammam was genuinely different from the usual hotel spa. Warm stone, proper steam, the whole ritual. Our 10-year-old thought it was a Roman bath from a history book, which was a win. The rooms are stylish, a bit dark for my taste, but the beds were excellent. Breakfast buffet had a dedicated kids' corner with cereals and pancakes. Good location too: 12 minutes on foot to the palace.

Why families love Le Meridien Lav Split

This hotel was our base for a week. The indoor pool saved us on the two rainy days, and the kids' pool is genuinely designed for small children, not just a token shallow end. The kids club runs daily in summer (ages 4 to 12, free) but there's no staff supervision, so one parent stays. Bus 60 to Split is easy. Our 8-year-old called it the best hotel she's ever stayed in, which at 436 EUR a night, better be.

Why families love Bluesun Hotel Soline

Brela is quieter than Tučepi and the hotel's location right by the beach was a huge plus. The kids' club ran morning sessions with arts and crafts while we used the spa. The indoor pool saved us on one rainy afternoon. Breakfast buffet was the best we had in Croatia, with a proper omelette station and fresh pastries.

Why families love Hotel Olivier

The price stung at 741 EUR a night, but the beachfront location and indoor pool combination made it worthwhile for our family of four. Kids loved walking straight from the lobby to the beach. The indoor pool was quiet and warm, perfect after a breezy afternoon. Rooms felt genuinely spacious, not the cramped old-town boxes you get elsewhere in Split. Breakfast had fresh local cheese and prosciutto that even our picky eater enjoyed.

Why families love Radisson Blu Resort & Spa Split

Five nights in mid-July with two boys aged 6 and 10. The games room is on the lower lobby level, two pool tables and a board game shelf, open 9am to 11pm. Both boys played me billiards every late afternoon between beach and dinner. Kids club ran 9-12 and 4-6 with crafts and pool games included. Family room was a sea-view connecting double-double, lots of space. Beach was pebble not sand, calm water, lifeguard on duty. Big resort, big breakfast, lots of guests, never felt cramped.

Why families love Radisson Blu Resort & Spa

Radisson Blu is the resort option for families who want a holiday rather than a city break with a dog. The private beach has a dog-permitted section, family suites split adults and kids across two rooms, the kids club runs morning sessions, and the staff manage the dog-fee in writing. The trade-off is the 4 km from the old town, manageable on the local 60 bus or a 12 EUR taxi.
