Best Hotels with Swimming Pools in Split for Families (2026)

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 Ellure Luxury Suites

Žnjan is residential rather than touristy, which means quieter mornings and easier parking if you've rented a car. The court is hard-surface, well-maintained, and rarely busy because most other guests come for the apartments and pool. Walk five minutes downhill to Žnjan beach where kids find pebbly coves and an inflatable water playground in summer. The kitchen is the deal-maker for families: stocking up at Tommy supermarket next door means you avoid the Old Town restaurant queues at lunch.

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 Hotel Mondo

Hotel Mondo was our rainy-day hero. The indoor pool is not huge but it is warm and the kids spent hours in it. The sauna next door gave us a break while they swam. Breakfast was solid, especially the fresh Croatian pastries and local honey. The location is a bit farther from the old town than we expected, about 15 minutes on foot, but the quieter street meant the kids could scooter to the hotel without dodging crowds. Room was clean and spacious enough for a family of four with an extra bed.

Why families love Hotel Globo

Globo wins on location for families who want one place that handles old-town walks, the pool, and the dog. The hotel pool is small but covered, family rooms have a separate sleeping zone for kids, and the pet basket appears in the room before arrival if you tell them you have a dog at booking. The 15 EUR per night fee is written and stable.

Why families love Art Hotel

The rooftop pool at Art Hotel was the highlight of our stay. Our kids loved swimming while watching the ferries go to Brač island. Breakfast buffet had a dedicated kids' section with pancakes and cereal, which saved us a battle every morning. The walk to Diocletian's Palace took about 20 minutes along Ulica Slobode, flat and pushchair-friendly. Only downside: pool closes at sunset, so plan your swim for the afternoon.

Why families love Bluesun Hotel Elaphusa

The indoor pool was the deciding factor for us since we visited in early June when mornings were still cool. Kids' pool is separate and shallow, perfect for our 5-year-old. The bowling alley and table tennis kept the older one busy between beach trips. Themed dinner nights broke up what can otherwise be buffet monotony. Room was clean, modern, with a sea-view balcony.

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 Villa M

Honest budget option that doesn't pretend to be more than it is. Table tennis on the terrace gets daily use from kids who burn off pre-dinner energy here. For full-court tennis, the public Marjan facility is a 25-minute walk or a 5-euro Bolt ride away — perfectly workable for one match per stay. Owners are a Croatian family who treat guests like cousins, lend out beach toys, and warm baby bottles in the evening. Rooms are simple but clean, AC works well, and parking is free which matters if you're road-tripping the Dalmatian coast.

Why families love Bluesun Hotel Neptun - All Inclusive

The kids loved the dedicated buffet area where they could grab pasta and ice cream without waiting for the main restaurant queue. The pool area is spacious and never felt crowded, even in mid-July. The beach is pebble and directly accessible from the hotel grounds. Staff at the kids' club spoke decent English and organised crafts every morning.

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 BRETANIDE Sport & Wellness Resort - All Inclusive

The games room was a lifesaver on the one evening when the kids were too tired for the entertainment programme. Themed dinners kept the food interesting across a full week. The indoor play area rescued a rainy afternoon. Zlatni Rat beach is stunning but gets busy by 11am. We learned to go early or after 4pm. The catamaran from Split took 50 minutes and ran on time every day.

Why families love Aminess Vival Velaris Resort

Supetar is smaller and calmer than Bol, which suited us with a toddler. The pool area is shaded by pines, so you don't fry. The kids' club ran afternoon activities while we explored the harbour town. Beach is pebble but with gentle entry. The ferry from Split takes just 50 minutes and drops you 15 minutes from the hotel. Room was basic but clean, with a terrace facing the garden.
