Best Hyatt resorts for families

The best Hyatt resorts for families pair kids' programs and roomy suites with beaches, pools and easy access to adventure. Most are luxury or lifestyle resorts you can book through Hyatt Privé to add daily breakfast, a property credit and an upgrade on top of the family space, and if you would rather have everything included, Hyatt's all-inclusive Ziva resorts are built for kids too. Here are the top picks across Hawaii, the Caribbean, the US mainland and beyond.

The best Hyatt family resorts

• Andaz Maui at Wailea, Hawaii - multi-level pools, direct beach access and villas with kitchens, plus a kids' club that teaches Hawaiian culture. A perennial family favorite.
• Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa, Hawaii - a saltwater lagoon, a river pool and acres of grounds make this one of the easiest Hyatts to travel to with young children.
• Grand Hyatt Baha Mar, Bahamas - a beachfront resort with a water park and a wide beach, the strongest choice for families who want one big property with everything on site.
• Park Hyatt Beaver Creek, Colorado - ski-in, ski-out in winter and mountain hiking in summer, with a heated pool and easy village access for families who ski.
• Alila Marea Beach Resort Encinitas, San Diego - a relaxed Southern California beach resort near tide pools and surf breaks, good for a low-key family week close to home.
• Andaz Costa Rica Resort at Peninsula Papagayo - rainforest and two beaches, with a kids' club and easy day trips to zip lines and volcanoes for older children.
• Park Hyatt St. Kitts - a quiet Caribbean beach resort without the crowds of the busier islands, with pools and calm water for families who want tranquility.
• Park Hyatt Dubai - a creekside city resort with a pool complex, beach access nearby and a base for theme parks and desert trips.

Hyatt all-inclusive resorts for families

If you want meals, drinks and kids' activities bundled into one price, look at Hyatt's all-inclusive Ziva resorts, in Cancun, Riviera Maya, Cap Cana, Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta. Ziva properties are designed for families, with kids' clubs, water parks and multiple restaurants, and everything is included in the rate. These are booked as all-inclusive packages rather than through Hyatt Privé, but they still earn your World of Hyatt nights and points.

How Hyatt Privé perks help families

At the luxury and lifestyle resorts above, booking through a Hyatt Privé advisor adds real value for a family trip: daily breakfast for two, a $100 property credit, a room upgrade at check-in when one is available, and early check-in and late checkout subject to availability. The upgrade can matter most, since moving up to a suite or a connecting room gives everyone more space at no extra cost. The perks stack with World of Hyatt, so the stay still earns points and elite-night credit. You can see the full list of Hyatt Privé benefits on our program page.
