Best family-friendly hotels in Dubai for kids 2025

Simon Calder’s Travel

Whether you’re travelling with tots or teens in tow, Dubai is always a treat. Its theme parks, sandy beaches, exhilarating attractions and super-safe environs keep things fun for everyone (and stress levels minimal) – while its hotels are the stuff of family holiday dreams.

In the following properties, the essentials are standard: interconnecting rooms, kids’ menus, bottle warmers, staff that dote on children – you name it. The Emirati culture adores little ‘uns, so they’re entertained and encouraged by innovative kids’ clubs, high-quality play areas and even their very own breakfast buffets. You’ll enjoy opportunities galore to make memories together, without having to compromise on your holiday must-haves.

There are bargains to be had, too. Children’s activities and clubs are often free, while perks might also include kids’ meals, attractions tickets and entry to water parks. These are the top family hotels in Dubai – and what to see, do and experience while you’re there.

Good luck tearing the kids from the activity club: they’ll be too busy riding the slides, getting messy in the kitchen, enjoying story time in The Snug and battling in the Gaming Station. There’s even a state-of-the-art Imagination Room, for sensory play with sand, light and colour.
