If you’re dreaming of a family beach getaway, Anguilla might just be your perfect match. Anguilla is known for its beaches –many will tell you they’re the best in the Caribbean. It’s also known for having fewer crowds than other islands because there are limited direct flights, and no large cruise ships are allowed to dock there.
On top of that, Anguilla really hits the mark on luxury hotels. Given the island’s small size, we’re continously impressed by the quality and number of luxury resorts. When it comes to where to stay, you’re spoiled for choice.
Anguilla’s family-friendly resorts also really know how to cater to both kids and adults. There are luxury beachfront properties where you can wake up to ocean views; larger resorts with golf and waterparks; boutique hotels that make you feel right at home; and incredible all-inclusive resorts in Anguilla that make vacationing a breeze.
So, if you’re looking for some peace and quiet, stunning beaches, and a sophisticated air, let’s get you to Anguilla. No matter where you stay, you’ll get to soak up the island’s charm and make memories with your crew in one of Anguilla’s amazing resorts for families.

Our Top Picks for Anguilla Family Resorts
When it comes to family vacations, our favorite Anguilla family resorts break the mold of typical all-inclusive Caribbean hotels. In fact, one of the things we love about many of the resorts we are going to feature is that they aren’t all-inclusive in the traditional sense (think: big buffets, budget pricing, 10 pools, and waterparks). But many have the option to add meal and drink plans so food can flow freely when you arrive. We love resorts that let families tailor their vacations.
At Mango Tree, we don’t believe family travel is an either/or situation: You can travel with your kids and stay in a luxury resort. These resorts truly deliver exceptional family travel experiences that adults deserve and that kids will be over the moon about.
Our favorite luxury Anguilla resorts for families have kid-friendly pools, children’s menus, and spacious accommodations that cater to families of all sizes. Some also have amazing kids’ clubs so parents can relax or adventure (or both) while their kids live their best lives.
And for the independent-minded travelers, we also recommend a boutique family friendly hotel right in the heart of one of Anguilla’s best beaches, with fewer resort amenities, but top-notch service and condo-style rooms.
In short, there’s something for everyone in Anguilla– and especially for those (like us) with a weakness for luxury hotels. Luxury isn’t just for adult travelers, so check out our picks for the best family resorts in Anguilla that will wow guests of all ages.
1. Zemi Beach House
THE BEST BOUTIQUE HOTEL IN ANGUILLA FOR FAMILIES
If you’ve been a Mango Tree reader for a while or have booked a trip with us, you know we gravitate towards boutique hotels – even with kids. So it’s only fitting that we have a huge hotel crush on the 76-room Zemi Beach House, which sits on Shoal Bay Beach, about 20 minutes away from the rest of Anguilla’s top luxury resorts.
Located on a tranquil stretch of beach, the resort is a peaceful retreat where you can unplug and enjoy the natural beauty of Anguilla. Walk down the sand to some local restaurants, snorkel in super-calm waters, unplug by the stunning pool—with ocean views from every chair—and reconnect with your kids.
When you visit Zemi Beach House with kids, you’ll see that it’s the little touches that matter. Guests rave about the exceptional staff, who go out of their way to make every moment special. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted with warm smiles and a genuine desire to help.
The concierge team is particularly amazing—they’re like your personal trip planners. They are ready to take care of everything, from coordinating your ferry from the Saint Martin airport (where many travelers choose to land) to booking dinner reservations or organizing island adventures. They think of the kids, too, making sure they have all the beach toys and snorkel gear ready to go.
And last but not least, the Kids Club at Zemi Beach House is a real game-changer for families. It’s tailored for kids ages 4-12 and is packed with island-themed activities like mermaid swim school and coral reef education. And with movie nights happening once or twice a week, your kids will be in good hands and have a blast.
As one of the top boutique hotels Anguilla offers, Zemi Beach House stands out with its cool, laid-back aura that blends style with a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. This Anguilla boutique resort is a chic beach house experience where you can unwind in elegant surroundings without feeling like you’re at a kid-centric resort.
It’s this perfect mix of luxury and family-friendly amenities that makes Zemi Beach House a standout choice for a memorable Anguilla vacation.

2. Tranquility Beach
A BOUTIQUE RESORT FOR INDEPENDENT-MINDED TRAVELERS
If you’re “not resort people” but are still dreaming of a laid-back escape where the staff treats you like family, Tranquility Beach is the boutique hotel in Anguilla you’ve been looking for. From the second you arrive, you’re welcomed with warm smiles, a chilled towel, and a refreshing rum punch — but in a place that vibes with independent travelers.
Location-wise, this Angulla boutique hotel couldn’t be better. You’re right on Meads Bay Beach, one of the most beautiful spots in Anguilla.
The suites at Tranquility Beach are perfect for families who need room to spread out. The rooms are really apartments, with fully equipped kitchens, and they are steps from the beach. Although there’s no pool, the terrace jacuzzis are a great place to chill while the kids are napping.
The beach is perfect for families with gentle waves and soft, white sand — no rocks, no worries. Beach Butlers keep you stocked with popsicles, towels, sand toys, and mojitos. And the reviews highlight that the staff here goes above and beyond.
But here’s the kicker: Tranquility Beach offers all this without the luxury price tag. This resort won’t provide some of the amenities that the others do, but the location is excellent. It’s right next to some of the most sought-after hotels in Anguilla but with a much more intimate feel and relaxed vibe.
There’s no restaurant on site, but that’s because none is necessary: You’re just a short walk from fantastic dining options like Blanchard’s Beach Shack.
Tranquility Beach is the place to be if you’re searching for the best family resort in Anguilla that combines value, comfort, and that personal touch.
Use our complimentary booking service to receive $100 resort credit, breakfast included, and a top spot on the upgrade list at Tranquility Beach.
3. Four Seasons Resort and Residences Anguilla
A LUXURY RESORT WITH AN ALL-INCLUSIVE OPTION
Tucked away on the gorgeous Meads Bay, the Four Seasons Resort and Residences is a standout among Anguilla resorts family travelers love. While we love our fair share of boutique resorts, there’s no denying that the Four Seasons does family travel right – and this property is a stunner.
This luxury resort is perfect for families that want a mix of comfort and style. It offers 181 spacious accommodations, including villas and residences with plenty of room to spread out, fully equipped kitchens, and private pools.
The resort has all the kid-friendly amenities you could want, including a supervised kids’ club packed with fun activities. You can kick back and relax knowing your little ones are having a blast. And it’s worth noting that the Four Seasons provides thoughtful touches like complimentary baby gear, family-friendly excursions, and special kids’ menus. All ages are truly welcome.
If you’re eyeing Anguilla all-inclusive family resorts, the Four Seasons has you covered with the option for an all-inclusive package that includes meals, drinks, and loads of activities. With top-notch service, luxury digs, and a strong focus on family-friendly experiences, it’s easy to see why this place is one of the top luxury Anguilla resorts.
Whether chilling by the pool or soaking up the sun on the island’s stunning beaches, this resort is a fantastic choice for a 5-star family getaway.

4. Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club
A FAMILY FAVORITE FOR ALL-INCLUSIVE RESORTS IN ANGUILLA
Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club is an exceptional choice for families seeking a luxurious, kid-friendly getaway. With so many different accommodations, ranging from spacious villas to beachfront suites with wraparound terraces, families will have lots of space to relax and enjoy breathtaking views.
The kids’ club here is a hit, offering everything from creative arts and crafts to fun nature outings, so there’s never a dull moment. Plus, the Aurora Entertainment Park is now open with a water park, splash pad, sports complex, and amphitheater to keep your kids busy and entertained the entire trip.
We get a lot of families looking for waterparks for kids, and this is one of only a handful of waterpark resorts we can get behind, as there’s a bit of distance between the park and the calmer areas of the resort. And while the kids enjoy the waterpark, you can sneak in a round of golf on their award-winning course.
Travelers frequently debate whether Meads Bay Beach – home to the Four Seasons – or Rendezvous Bay – Aurora Angulla’s stomping ground – should earn the title of Anguilla’s best beach. Whichever winner you pick, the direct beach access here is postcard-worthy, and many of the room categories sit steps from the sand.
Once again, if you’re looking for Anguilla all-inclusive hotels, you can create a package here. Dining is world-class and a breeze for families with several options. They include kid-friendly menus that cater to both picky eaters and adventurous palates. Go with an all-inclusive resorts in Anguilla package if you don’t want to about the costs for meals and drinks once you arrive.
With stellar service and family-focused atmosphere, Aurora Anguilla makes it easy to kick back and enjoy your family vacation.

5. Belmond Cap Juluca
One of the Best Anguilla Luxury Resort – with a Kids Club
Belmond Cap Juluca is arguably one of the best luxury resorts not only in Anguilla but in the entire Caribbean. It attracts a lot of couples and is sometimes overlooked as a family friendly Anguilla resort option. But while some of the others on this list may be more family-focused, kids are absolutely welcome at Cap Juluca if it fits your family’s travel style.
Cap Juluca, a Belmond Hotel, sits on a quiet bay on Anguilla’s south coast, creating a more private atmosphere than the other luxury hotels on Meads Bay Beach.
The number one sign of a family friendly resort: A proper kids’ club. The Explorer’s Club at Cap Juluca accepts children aged 4 to 12, with a toy library and gaming consoles when kids need a beach break.
Belmond Cap Juluca is an especially good choice for families who like water skiing – something you don’t actually see much of in the Caribbean. But the protected bay that houses Cap Juluca creates perfect conditions for a safe waterskiing adventure.
For a relaxed and serene hotel with more of a sophisticated, adult focus, yet still kid-friendly, Cap Juluca should be on your list of 5-star resorts for a top-tier family vacation to Anguilla.
Use our complimentary booking service to receive $100 resort credit, breakfast included, and a top spot on the upgrade list at Belmond Cap Juluca.
6. Malliouhana, Auberge Resorts Collection
The Classic Anguilla Resort – With Kid-Friendly Amenities
Malliouhana, part of the Auberge Resorts Collection, is yet another top Caribbean hotel on the island of Anguilla. Perched on the cliffs above Meads Bay – at the other end of the beach from the Four Seasons – this Anguilla all-inclusive family resort has a chic retro vibe, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a stylish, tropical dream.
Like Cap Juluca, Malliouhana attracts a lot of couples and honeymooners and is perhaps seen as less family-oriented than the Four Seasons or Zemi Beach House. But, in fact, the resort’s family-friendly amenities go beyond the usual—think kids’ clubs filled with beach games like hermit crab racing and nautical knot tying– and cultural activities, too. Keep the little ones entertained while you enjoy a treatment at the spa, tucked away in a peaceful garden.
The resort is also set on 25 acres of lush, landscaped gardens, a beautiful backdrop for a family stroll or a game of hide-and-seek with the kids. The two-tiered infinity pool is also a real highlight—it’s set right on the edge of the cliff, giving you a panoramic view of the ocean while the kids splash around in the shallower upper level.
And always a plus for families: the accommodations at Malliouhana are super spacious, with big, comfy beds and private terraces perfect for unwinding after a day in the sun.
Dining at Malliouhana is a treat, too. The beachfront restaurant serves fresh, local dishes that everyone will love, and it has a children’s menu that even picky eaters will enjoy.
Plus, with complimentary beach gear and snorkeling equipment, you’ve got everything you need for a fun family day in the sun. Malliouhana is all about those little details that make your stay easy, breezy, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a touch of class to your 5-star Caribbean vacation, then Malliouhana is a 5-star choice.
Use our complimentary booking service to receive $100 resort credit, breakfast included, and a top spot on the upgrade list at Malliouhana.
