Best All-Inclusive Family Hotels in Rimini (2026 Prices)
5 family-friendly hotels with all inclusive in Rimini . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Rimini invented the Italian all-inclusive beach holiday. Along 14 km of sandy coast between Torre Pedrera and Rivazzurra, hundreds of 3- and 4-star family hotels offer full-board packages that bundle meals, drinks, beach umbrellas, and kids' entertainment into one daily rate. For a family of four, expect to pay 80 to 185 EUR per night with everything included. That's breakfast, lunch, dinner, house wine at the table, two sun loungers on the beach, and often a miniclub that keeps kids busy from morning to evening. We scraped Booking.com and cross-checked with hotel websites to find 5 all-inclusive hotels in Rimini that actually deliver on the promise. Each one has real prices, verified ratings, and honest notes about what "all-inclusive" actually covers. If you're also exploring water parks near Rimini, several of these hotels include park tickets in their packages.
Getting to Rimini is straightforward: Bologna airport is 1.5 hours by bus or train, and Rimini Federico Fellini airport has seasonal charter flights. The train station sits in the city centre, with buses running along the coast every 10 minutes. The lungomare (seafront promenade) stretches for kilometres and is stroller-friendly. For rainy days, Italia in Miniatura and Fiabilandia are both under 15 minutes by car. The old town around Piazza Cavour and the Tiberius Bridge is worth an evening stroll after the kids have worn themselves out at the beach. Gelato is everywhere and reliably cheap: 2 EUR for a cone with two scoops.
🍽️Why Rimini is Italy's all-inclusive capital for families
In Rimini, all-inclusive doesn't mean a gated resort compound. These are family-run hotels, often with 40 to 60 rooms, where the owner's kids play alongside yours in the garden. The formula evolved in the 1960s when the Romagna coast became Italy's domestic beach destination, and it stuck because it works. Parents pay once, kids eat and play all day, and nobody has to think about restaurant bills.
The typical all-inclusive package covers more than just food. Most hotels include an affiliated beach section with numbered umbrellas and loungers, daily animation (games, shows, mini-disco in the evening), and access to a pool or water park partnership. Some throw in bicycle rental and theme park tickets. The catch: drinks are usually only included at meals, not poolside or at the bar. If you want unlimited cocktails at 3pm, that's extra.
Watch for the difference between full board and true all-inclusive. Full board means three meals plus water at the table. All-inclusive adds drinks, snacks, and sometimes afternoon ice cream for kids. Ask before you book. Also, most Rimini hotels close from October to April. The season runs late May through mid-September, with the first two weeks of August being both the most crowded and the most expensive.
Parent's take
We stayed in Marebello for a week in late June and barely left the hotel-beach loop. The kids were at the miniclub by 9am, we picked them up for lunch, they went back for afternoon games, and we all met at the beach by 4pm. Dinner was a buffet where even our picky eater found pasta, pizza, and grilled fish every night. The real luxury wasn't the hotel itself but the mental relief of not planning a single meal or activity for seven days. By Wednesday the kids had a little gang of Italian and German friends, and we actually read books on the beach for the first time in years.

Hotel Prestige
San Giuliano Mare

Why families love Hotel Prestige
The outdoor pool was a lifesaver on the one rainy afternoon we had. It's not huge but big enough for the kids to splash around while we sat in the garden. The beach section was well-organised with a play area right on the sand. Food surprised us with fresh seafood on the buffet most nights. The staff went out of their way for our daughter's birthday, bringing out a small cake at dinner without us even asking.
Hotel Etoile
Rivabella
Wonderful
344 reviews
A 3-star superior hotel in Rivabella offering true all-inclusive with full board, drinks at meals, private beach, and daily entertainment for children. The package includes kids' meals, evening shows, and partnerships with nearby theme parks including Fiabilandia.
From
€107/night
Why families love Hotel Etoile
The entertainment team made this trip. Every morning our kids ran to the garden for games, and the evening shows kept the whole family laughing. Food was plentiful Italian home cooking, not gourmet but honest and generous. The private beach section was well-maintained with a shallow entry perfect for our 5-year-old. We added Fiabilandia tickets through the hotel and saved about 20% off gate price.
Hotel St Gregory Park
San Giuliano Mare
Wonderful
3,551 reviews
A 4-star all-inclusive hotel opposite Rimini's marina with a large swimming pool, diving board, and fenced park with playground. The all-inclusive package covers full board with drinks, beach service, and daily kids' entertainment with surprise barbecues in the garden.
From
€184/night
Why families love Hotel St Gregory Park
The pool was the highlight. Our kids spent hours jumping off the diving board while we lounged under the gazebo in the park. The buffet had enough variety that even our fussy 5-year-old ate well every night. The entertainment team organised a mini-disco every evening that our 8-year-old absolutely loved. Staff remembered our names by day two.
Hotel St. Moritz
Rivazzurra
Wonderful
212 reviews
A 3-star beachfront hotel in Rivazzurra with an on-site restaurant, indoor play area, and private beach. The all-inclusive covers three meals plus drinks, beach service, bicycle rental, and babysitting. Known for themed dinner nights and walking tours organised by the staff.

€178/night
Why families love Hotel St. Moritz
Rivazzurra is quieter than central Rimini, which suited us perfectly. The themed dinner nights were a highlight since our kids loved the seafood evening and the Romagna night with piadina. The indoor play area saved us during one rainy morning, and the staff organised a walking tour of old Rimini that even our 8-year-old found interesting. Beach is literally across the road, and the bikes let us explore the lungomare without fighting for parking.
Hotel Vernel
Marebello
Excellent
1,553 reviews
The best-value all-inclusive in Rimini. This family-run 3-star in Marebello bundles full board, drinks, beach service, and unlimited access to Beach Village water park in Riccione. No on-site pool, but the water park partnership more than makes up for it with slides, wave pool, and lazy river.
From
€81/night
Why families love Hotel Vernel
At 81 EUR/night for a family of four with everything included, this was absurdly good value. The rooms are simple but clean, the food is classic Italian home cooking three times a day, and the kids treated Beach Village like their personal playground. The owners are a local family who've been running the hotel for decades. They lent us a stroller on day one and packed beach bags with towels every morning. Not fancy, but exactly what a family beach holiday should be.
💡How to pick the right all-inclusive hotel in Rimini
- 1Book directly with the hotel for the best all-inclusive rate. Booking.com often shows room-only prices for Rimini hotels, while the hotel's own site advertises the full package at a lower per-person cost. Email them in January or February for early-bird discounts of 10-15%.
- 2Ask exactly what drinks are included. Most Rimini all-inclusive packages cover water, house wine, and soft drinks at meals only. Poolside drinks, afternoon snacks, and espresso are typically extra. A few hotels like Hotel Vernel include unlimited soft drinks all day.
- 3The affiliated beach is part of the deal, but umbrella position matters. Front row near the water is more expensive. If your hotel assigns rows 3-5, that's actually better for small kids because there's more space to play and less foot traffic.
- 4Rimini hotels offering all-inclusive often include free entry to nearby parks. Hotel Etoile partners with Fiabilandia, and several Rivazzurra hotels include Beach Village water park access. Always check the park inclusion before paying separately at the gate.
- 5September is the sweet spot. The sea is still warm (24-25°C), hotel prices drop 30-40% from August peaks, the beach is half-empty, and Italian school doesn't start until mid-September. The miniclub may have fewer kids, but the weather and value are unbeatable.
