Whether it’s a long-haul adventure or quick beach trip, finding where to stay and trusting it can cater to your family’s needs, from the few to the many, should be easy and seamless. And that’s exactly what Scott Dunn’s global collection of family hotels and resorts provide.
Every hotel and resort in our family collection has earned its place. Our recommended properties have been assessed by our specialists against a strict set of criteria, because a hotel that looks perfect in photographs doesn't always deliver where it matters most for families.
We check that accommodation genuinely suits families, from interconnecting rooms and suites to private pool villas and residences, and that facilities work as well for toddlers as they do for teenagers. We consider dining flexibility and board basis, including all-inclusive options, alongside the range and quality of family activities on offer. And we look closely at service: whether staff are as attentive to a four-year-old's questions as they are to a parent's request.
Where you stay on your family holiday is more than simply a base, it’s where you end every day after exploring a city’s every treasure, seeing your first lion or snorkelling among the coral reefs. It should recharge, relax and provide you with the comfort to start the next day ready to adventure all over again. Speak to our family travel specialists to find the one that's right for you.
From cliff-top escapes in Portugal to celebrated Greek hideaways, we've matched the right resort to the right budget, so you spend less time searching and more time enjoying your family escape. We’ve arranged our curated selection of resorts into four price brackets, from £10,000 to £25,000, with properties spread across the world's most exclusive shores in Greece, Spain and more. Some are beloved for their dedicated Scott Dunn Explorers programmes and others for their pristine coastlines, exceptional restaurants, and service that makes travelling with children genuinely effortless.
For many of our families, Scott Dunn Explorers is the reason they choose us. Our kids' clubs run from four months old right through to eleven, so however young your family is, there's a place for them to play, explore and make friends while you take a little time for yourselves.
Our teams are carefully selected and trained, and each club is designed for specialised age group care. For our youngest Explorers, aged four months to two years, we keep groups small with a ratio of one carer to every three children, so every little one gets the attention they need. As children grow, the clubs grow with them: gentle sensory play gives way to proper adventure, from treasure hunts to cookery classes to rock pooling.
Scott Dunn Explorers childcare is currently available across the Mediterranean, the Alps and Maldives.
Different family holidays call for different hotels, whether you’re after something adventurous, iconic or relaxing. Find what calls to you and explore our holiday offerings below.
For families who want their children to see wildlife up close, not just in books. Our portfolio of safari lodges welcome children with family-friendly game drives, junior ranger programmes, and rooms designed so parents and children can share a space comfortably, often with interconnecting suites or private family tents. Ideal if your family is drawn to adventure and the outdoors.
Winter holidays built around families, with childcare that starts on the slopes. Look for resorts offering ski schools alongside kids' clubs, so little ones can build snow confidence while parents enjoy a day on the mountain, or take to the slopes together as a family. Ideal for families who already partake in an annual family ski trip, want to get back into skiing after having children, or want something new with fresh air, activity, and a change of pace from beach holidays.
For families who want the charm of Europe without compromising on space, service or things to do. These properties combine easy access, from short flights to family-sized accommodation, with the kind of local culture, cuisine, and coastline that make a European break feel like a genuine discovery, for parents and children alike.
For parents who want built-in childcare alongside real quality time. These hotels are chosen specifically for their clubs, from all-day and half-day supervised programmes to age-specific activities, so children have their own adventures while parents have the freedom to relax, explore, or simply do nothing at all.
If the ideal holiday means sand between toes and long, unhurried days by the water, then a beach holiday is the answer. These resorts are chosen for family-friendly pools and beaches, watersports for older children, and the kind of relaxed pace that suits every generation, from grandparents to toddlers.

We offer luxury all-inclusive resorts across Europe and the Caribbean, but to narrow down options it’s best to speak with a specialist. However, Daios Cove is our most popular all-inclusive family resort, and is home to an exclusive Explorers kids club, which starts from 4 months to 11 years old.
All-inclusive luxury resorts typically cover all meals and drinks, use of pools and sports facilities, and a programme of family activities, though exactly what's included varies by property. We always check the detail before recommending a resort, so you know precisely what to expect before you book.
Scott Dunn Explorers welcomes children from four months old right through to eleven, with age-appropriate groups and activities throughout. Our youngest Explorers, aged four months to two years, are cared for at a ratio of one carer to every three children.
Yes, to use Explorers you must book in advance. We recommend booking between six and three months in advance, particularly during school holidays, as places and staff ratios are limited to maintain the quality of care. Your family travel specialist can arrange this as part of your holiday planning.
Our luxury family resort holidays start around £10,000 for a family of four for seven nights, but prices vary depending on the final itinerary. You can explore our resorts by price page to get an idea of costs depending on where you want to go.
