The best kids’ clubs in the Côte d'Azur

Who said a five-star Four Seasons hotel is just for adults? That’s simply not true for Grand-Hotel Du Cap-Ferrat, a Four Seasons Hotel. On top of luxury R&R for parents, little one’s are catered for by the hotel’s brilliant kids club that runs from June to September.

Whilst you’re unwinding in the award-winning spa getting pampered, they’ll be having the ultimate holiday of their own taking part in all sorts of fun activities – like playing the latest video games, learning how to whip up a soufflé in a cooking lesson, or going for a spin in a toy convertible car.

Or the most exciting thing they can do is get a swimming lesson from the world-renowned German swimming instructor, Pierre Gruneberg (known as the “swimming teacher for the stars”). Now that’s something they’ll remember forever!

Hotel Barriere Le Gray D'Albion might be dripping in pure opulence, but that doesn’t mean the kids aren’t invited to soak up the luxury too. In fact, this hotel runs a nationally recognised kids’ club that not only provides creative entertainment, but also helps them learn a thing or two about themselves.

At Le Studio by Petit VIP, your little ones will be cared for by highly trained experts who make every mini member feel welcome on their first day. But don’t worry, any nerves will soon float away as they learn what cool things they’ve got in store.

They’ll take part in all sorts of art-focussed lessons, like composing music, writing plays, learning photography, singing, dancing, and so much more. And if they just want to sit back and watch a film or read a comic – that’s great too. 

The ultra-glam vibes of Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo aren’t just for parents, a stay here will be a dream location for your children too. In fact, younger guests here are fondly nicknamed ‘V.I.Ks’ (Very Important Kids), so you can bet they’ll have the absolute time of their lives being treated like royalty. 

With the kids’ club available from May to October, how they spend their days is completely up to them. They can attend a special children’s movie screening with their fellow mini-guests or head to the designated Kids Room full to the brim with games and toys, including a PlayStation, Nintendo Wii, darts, and Lego.

Delicious homemade snacks throughout the day also mean they’ll never go hungry (including a pancake and waffle station). 

Situated in the heart of Cannes’ countryside, Terre Blanche is a family resort Côte d’Azur is proud of, boasting spectacular views of blissful rural surroundings and plenty of peace and quiet – especially since the little ones will be preoccupied with the on-site kids club, The Royaume des Enfants.

They’ll be off having a good time without you – and when you do eventually deter them away for some family bonding, no doubt they’ll be begging for you to take them back to the real fun. 

They’ll take part in exciting educational-based activities like learning about the flora and fauna found around the resort. Or for something a little more thrilling, how about a trip to the local trampoline park or some action-packed ninja training?

No matter what they want to do, everything’s run by certified coordinators who are as warm and friendly as they are experienced. They go above and beyond to make sure your little ones are happy, safe, and having fun. 

With its lively beach location and multiple awards sitting on the accolade shelf, Hôtel Martinez by Hyatt is a hotel that’ll impress all types of families. Whilst you enjoy a pick-me-up facial at the spa or hit up the bar for an evening cocktail, your kiddos will be taken care of at the hotel’s on-site kids club. 

Available for three to 12-year-olds and running from 10am to 7pm, this kids’ club has something for all ages. No matter their interests or what they like doing, there’s no doubt your kids will find something to keep them smiling.

They’ll take part in a range of daily themed activities (or sit out if they so wish) and be treated with snacks and drinks throughout the day. 

Whilst family holidays are a wonderful way to spend quality time together, we’re firm believers that encouraging your little ones to visit the kids’ clubs has its benefits too.

And it’s not just an advantage for you to have some peaceful adult time, kids’ clubs are actually a great way for children to make new friends, build some confidence, gain newfound independence, and try out new activities they’ve never experienced before.
