Best Hotels with a Kids Club on the Costa Brava (2026)
11 family-friendly hotels with kids club in Costa Brava . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Most Costa Brava resorts advertise themselves as 'family-friendly' but a real kids club needs more than a colouring sheet at breakfast. We looked at every 3 to 5-star hotel in Lloret de Mar, Tossa de Mar and Platja d'Aro and found five hotels that run a proper supervised kids club with trained animators, published session times, and a fenced club area. All five sit in the Lloret de Mar triangle, the Costa Brava's biggest family-resort cluster, 90 minutes from Barcelona airport. Prices range from 276 EUR/night at Hotel Rosamar Garden Resort to 360 EUR/night at the Evenia Olympic Resort, based on 2 adults and 2 children (ages 5 and 8) in July. Already booked the coast for the beach? See our Costa Brava beach-access hotels for a different angle.
Lloret de Mar is the Costa Brava's busiest resort town, a 7km seafront that splits into three zones parents should know. Fenals Beach (west side) is the quieter family end with shallower water and fewer teenagers. Lloret Beach (centre) is the main promenade with the bus station, shops and ice-cream queues. Santa Cristina and the Rieral inland district are where most kids-club resorts sit, 1km from the beach with free hotel shuttles. The town also has Water World (Europe's 5th-biggest waterpark) 3km inland, a big draw for families with older kids.

🧒Why the Costa Brava works for a kids club holiday
Kids clubs on the Costa Brava fall into two models. The Evenia Olympic complex in the Rieral district runs a unified programme across three hotel buildings, so your kid at the Palace can walk over to join friends at the Garden club. L'Azure and Costa Encantada run their own in-house clubs with smaller group sizes and more predictable daily schedules. Both models work, but the Evenia scale means more activity variety (6 pools, sports tournaments, themed evenings), while the smaller resorts feel more manageable for first-time kids-club families.
The age cut-off matters. Every club here accepts ages 4-12, but under-4s are not supervised without a parent. Evenia and L'Azure run separate teen activities for 13-17 year olds in peak season. If you have a toddler plus older kids, Costa Encantada is the strongest pick because it is an apartment-style resort with self-catering kitchens, which makes baby feeding and nap schedules much easier around the older one's club sessions.
Beach versus inland resort is a real trade-off. The five hotels on this list are 800m to 1.5km from the beach, most with shuttles or gentle downhill walks. That distance is the trade-off for bigger pool areas, bigger kids clubs and more space. If you want your room to open onto sand, see the beach-access Costa Brava hotels instead, where the trade-off is smaller kids programmes.
Parent's take
By day two at Evenia Olympic our six-year-old had found the pirate-themed mini-disco and was negotiating hard to skip dinner for it. We ate at 7pm, she joined the 9pm disco, we collected her at 10pm half-asleep in a beach chair. Three nights in, we read a whole novel between us — first time in about two years. The only surprise: bring your own swim socks, the pool decks get hot by 2pm.
Our Top 11 Picks
Hotels in Costa Brava with kids club, sorted by guest rating.
Evenia Olympic Palace
Lloret de Mar Rieral district (1km from Fenals beach)
Wonderful
21 reviews
The flagship building inside the three-hotel Evenia Olympic Resort complex, a 4-star family resort in Lloret de Mar's inland Rieral district, 1km walk from Fenals beach. Guests share the complex's six pools, water-slide zone and central kids-club pavilion, so your child can join friends staying at the Garden or Park buildings without trouble. Dining is buffet with a kids-friendly counter, separate kids' meal times, and a dedicated baby corner.
From
€295/night
Why families love Evenia Olympic Palace
Of the three Evenia buildings, Palace is the calmest at breakfast and has the closest walk to the kids-club pavilion — about 90 seconds from most rooms. The 4-7pm club session here is the easier one to get into because families with older kids tend to swim until 6pm. Pool deck beds need claiming by 9am in peak season. One genuine weakness: the complex is a 15-minute downhill walk to the beach and a proper hike back uphill in 30-degree heat. We used the hotel shuttle almost every day.
L'Azure Hotel 4* Sup
Lloret de Mar Fenals (sports zone, 900m from beach)
Wonderful
2,232 reviews
A 4-star Superior resort in Lloret de Mar's Fenals sports zone, 900m walk from Fenals beach through a mostly residential street. The kids club runs in a dedicated ground-floor pavilion with its own outdoor play zone and an indoor play area for rainy mornings. Pool-side mini-disco at 9pm every evening, buffet breakfast until 10:30am, which helps when the club wears kids out.
From
€357/night
Why families love L'Azure Hotel 4* Sup
The kids club here is the best-organised of the five on this page. Daily schedule printed at reception, predictable 10-12:30 and 4-6:30 sessions, animators who actually know the children's names by day two. The indoor play zone saved us on one rainy Wednesday. Genuine negative: the pool deck gets crowded by 11am and shade is limited; book a shaded table early or bring a UV tent for the baby.
Hotel Helios Lloret
Lloret de Mar central, 150m from beach
Wonderful
1,450 reviews
A 4-star in central Lloret de Mar, 150m from the main beach. The game room includes 4 arcade machines, billiards, ping-pong and a small kids cinema running summer matinees. Buffet restaurant, outdoor pool and a kids pool.
From
€145/night
Why families love Hotel Helios Lloret
The best value of the high-rated game-room hotels. Cinema room is genuinely useful for rainy afternoons. Animation team runs from 9am to 11pm and includes mini-disco, evening shows, and the game-room tournaments. Buffet has a kids section with low counters. Cycling distance to two waterparks via the seafront promenade.
Hotel Santa Marta
Santa Cristina, Lloret de Mar
Excellent
1,320 reviews
A 5-star resort in a 7-hectare pine wood beside Santa Cristina cove, 2 km from central Lloret. The game room sits in the spa annexe with billiards, ping-pong and a small arcade. Daily kids tournaments run from June to September.
From
€295/night
Why families love Hotel Santa Marta
The premium choice on this list and the only one tucked into a quiet pine wood rather than the resort centre. Game room is well-stocked, kids cinema runs in summer, and the animation team genuinely engages with shy children. Beach is a 3-minute walk through the gardens. A bit isolated from the Lloret nightlife, which suits families.
Ilunion Caleta Park
Sant Feliu de Guixols
Excellent
3,100 reviews
Beachfront family specialist on Sant Pol Beach between Sant Feliu and S'Agaro. Seasonal outdoor pool (May-October), dedicated kids' club with daily activities, games room, and children's playground. Connecting family rooms available.
From
€286/night
Why families love Ilunion Caleta Park
The most kid-geared hotel of the five. Kids' club runs 10am-1pm and 4pm-7pm in July-August, ages 4-12. Beach is straight out of the lobby, shallow entry for at least 30m. Half-board meals include separate kids' buffet with pasta, pizza, fruit. The only Costa Brava hotel where the kids will genuinely want to stay all day.
Hotel Indalo Park
Santa Susanna centre
Excellent
1,800 reviews
A 4-star resort hotel in central Santa Susanna, a five-minute walk from the beach. Tennis is offered through the hotel's sports programme; on site there is table tennis, billiards, darts, two outdoor pools (one for kids), an entertainment team and a real kids' club.
From
€323/night
Why families love Hotel Indalo Park
Indalo Park leans into the entertainment-resort formula without becoming a giant chain hotel. The pool layout works well for siblings of different ages, the kids' club runs daytime sessions, and the evening mini-disco saves your sanity at 9pm. The tennis booking is through reception; courts are nearby rather than on site. Rooms are clean, balconies face either the pool or the back gardens. Beach access is short but you cross a road and the railway, so don't send children alone.
Costa Encantada Suites & Resort
Santa Cristina d'Aro edge, 2km inland from Lloret
Excellent
2,985 reviews
A 4-star aparthotel on the Santa Cristina edge of Lloret, 2km inland, with one to three-bedroom apartments that fit families with baby plus older kids. The main pool has a separate shallow kids section and the kids club runs in a pavilion behind it, next to the indoor play area. Self-catering kitchens in every apartment mean baby bottles, nap-time yogurts and pasta suppers happen on your own schedule.
From
€295/night
Why families love Costa Encantada Suites & Resort
The apartment layout is what sold us for a two-week stay with a 2-year-old and a 7-year-old. Two bedrooms meant the baby actually slept; a full kitchen meant we skipped buffet dinners when the little one melted down. The kids club is smaller than the Evenia pavilion but the animators are more attentive with 10-12 kids per session. Shuttle to Lloret beach runs hourly 10am-6pm in peak season.
Hotel Anabel
Lloret de Mar centre
Excellent
1,120 reviews
A 4-star a 5-minute walk from Lloret de Mar's main beach, on the edge of the pedestrian zone. Game room with billiards, ping-pong, board games, and a kids playroom for under-6s. All-inclusive option available.
From
€132/night
Why families love Hotel Anabel
The all-inclusive option of the lineup and good value for big families. Game room is upstairs from reception and quieter than the basement-style ones. Kids playroom for under-6s is well-equipped with plastic kitchens and Lego, supervised in mornings. All-inclusive package covers snacks all day, which works for hungry kids.
Evenia Olympic Resort
Lloret de Mar Rieral district (1km from Fenals beach)
Very Good
57 reviews
The mid-tier building in the three-hotel Evenia Olympic complex, 1km inland from Fenals beach in Lloret's Rieral district. Guests use the same six shared pools, water-slide zone, kids-club pavilion and entertainment programme as the Palace and Garden buildings. Rooms are larger than at the Palace and a touch more tired; the trade-off is a proper family layout with extra bed space for a cot or teen sofa bed.
From
€360/night
Why families love Evenia Olympic Resort
We booked the Resort because a connecting room with two doubles and a sofa was cheaper than two rooms at the Palace. The kids club is the same one as at the Palace, same animators, same schedule, so the product is identical for your kid; only the room and dining hall change. Buffet queues are a bit longer at 8pm — arrive at 7:30 for easier seating. Pool beds still need claiming by 9am.
htop Caleta Palace
Platja d'Aro
Very Good
2,400 reviews
htop Caleta Palace is a large 4-star family resort on Cavall Bernat avenue in Platja d'Aro, about 400m from the main sandy beach down a short pedestrian path. It has a full supervised kids' club, two outdoor pools with a dedicated children's pool, a mini-golf area and daily animation for both kids and adults.
From
€288/night
Why families love htop Caleta Palace
This is Platja d'Aro package-holiday done well. The kids' club takes children from 4 to 12 and runs morning and afternoon sessions on a fixed weekly programme. The pool area is the heart of the hotel. The beach is not directly in front but the walk is flat, pushchair-friendly and lined with palm trees. Rooms are dated but spacious, with balconies that mostly face inland or sideways. Half-board is worth taking since the buffet is solid and the Platja d'Aro strip gets expensive.
Hotel Rosamar Garden Resort
Lloret de Mar Mascara (inland residential, 1.5km from beach)
Very Good
1,290 reviews
A 4-star garden resort in the Mascara residential district of Lloret, 1.5km inland, budget-friendly pick for families with primary-age children. The kids club uses the garden pavilion with mini-golf, outdoor play equipment and a dedicated kids pool. Buffet dining, kid-friendly menu counter, indoor play area for the rare rainy afternoon.
From
€276/night
Why families love Hotel Rosamar Garden Resort
The cheapest of the five on this page and the one we booked for a budget trip with two seven-year-olds. Mini-golf won our kids' hearts on day one — tournaments run three times a week in July. The rooms are plain and the walk back from the beach is a real uphill grind in peak heat, so use the shuttle. Buffet quality is a step down from L'Azure or the Evenias, but the kids menu always has pizza and chicken, which sidesteps the fuss.
💡How to pick the right kids club hotel on the Costa Brava
- 1Book the Evenia Olympic Palace if your kid is 8-12 and loves structured sports. The tournaments programme runs table tennis, mini-football and basketball in daily brackets, with a trophy ceremony on the last day of each stay.
- 2Pick Costa Encantada if you are a mixed-age family with a toddler plus older children. The self-catering apartments save you from buffet-timing wars, and the kids pool is separate from the main pool so the small one can splash while the big one joins the club.
- 3Avoid the July 28 to August 14 window if prices matter. Kids clubs still run, but rates jump 20-30% and the pools fill by 10am. The last week of June or first week of September give you near-identical weather with half the crowd.
- 4Pack water shoes. Lloret's town beach is pebbly near the water line, and the kids-club beach outings stop feeling fun when small feet turn red. Same applies to Fenals and Santa Cristina.
- 5Use the hotel shuttle to Water World if you go on a weekday. The 3km drive is steep uphill; small kids will not walk it, and taxi queues back in peak season are genuinely bad.
