Canary Islands for Big Birthday with young kids

3 replies

I am looking for any recommendations for a luxury/very nice hotel in the Canary Islands to celebrate a big birthday at. With children the age they are we would struggle to travel further but it's a winter birthday.

One of my main asks is a heated pool, or even better a heater outdoor and indoor pool. Access to a beach. Nice restaurants. Maybe good childcare, although only here and there.

Thank you for any help ❤️

Have a look at The One Luxury apartments in Puerto Rico. They’re fancy apartments so no childcare available but great views and close to beach/ shops etc.

Gran Melia Palacio d’Isora heats the family pool, and has an indoor pool. The restaurants are good but expensive; all inclusive is better value than HB. Kids club and baby crèche, although we never used them.

It was gorgeous when we went a number of years ago, but check recent reviews.

Haven’t actually stayed here but had a wander round. It’s stunning and not opened that long ago, but long enough to have ‘settled down’.

also lots of restaurant just outside the hotel as well as in the marina, a 5 minute walk away.
