What to Look for in a Benidorm Family Hotel
- Kids’ club with structured activities — a genuine time-saver for parents on longer stays.
- Separate children’s pools — with lifeguards and shallower depths.
- All-inclusive or half-board options — removes the daily hassle of feeding picky eaters.
- Proximity to Aqualandia, Mundomar or Terra Mítica — Benidorm’s three big family attractions.
- Location in Rincón de Loix or near Levante Beach — walkable to both the sand and the restaurant strip.
1. Best Themed Resort: Magic Robin Hood
A full medieval-themed resort with its own streets, cabins, and shows, Magic Robin Hood is one of the most immersive family resorts near Benidorm. Kids aged 7+ get big slides, laser tag, a gamer zone, and multi-adventure activities, while the theming makes the whole stay feel like part of the holiday rather than just somewhere to sleep.
Best for: Families with kids aged 7+ wanting a fully themed, activity-packed stay.
Check rates for Magic Robin Hood
2. Best for a Full Resort Experience: Magic Natura
Magic Natura isn’t a typical beach hotel — guests stay in cabins across a large resort combining pools, Terra Natura zoo, Aqua Natura water park, and themed restaurants. It’s calmer than central Benidorm despite being close by, and works best on the ultra all-inclusive plan if you want everything covered in one price.
Best for: Families wanting a self-contained resort combining zoo, water park and hotel in one.
3. Best Value Pools: Sol Pelícanos Ocas by Meliá
Famous as the filming location for the ITV sitcom *Benidorm*, Sol Pelícanos Ocas isn’t a luxury hotel, but its two large pool areas — complete with palm trees and jacuzzis — are genuinely excellent for the price. It’s close to Levante Beach with a lively but manageable atmosphere for families who don’t want four-star costs.
Best for: Budget-conscious families who prioritise pool space and beach proximity.
Check rates for Sol Pelícanos Ocas
4. Best Water Park Hotel: Hotel Deloix Aqua Center
Hotel Deloix Aqua Center includes free water park access, a lazy river, three outdoor pools, and a spa — all on-site, so there’s no need to plan a separate Aqualandia day if you’d rather keep things simple. It’s a strong pick for families with a wide age range of kids to entertain.
Best for: Families wanting an on-site water park without leaving the hotel grounds.

5. Best All-Inclusive with Kids’ Club: RH Princesa Hotel
Guests consistently highlight the kids’ club team at RH Princesa Hotel as a highlight of their stay, alongside comfortable rooms and a varied all-inclusive menu. It’s a dependable choice if a well-run kids’ programme matters more to you than resort theming.
Best for: Parents who want a genuinely active, well-staffed kids’ club.

6. Best Near Levante Beach: Medplaya Hotel Flamingo Oasis>
A short walk from Levante Beach, Medplaya Hotel Flamingo Oasis offers a kids’ club, playground, and dedicated children’s pool, making it easy to split the day between sand and hotel activities without much travel time in between.
Best for: Families who want a beach-first holiday with hotel activities as backup.
Check rates for Medplaya Hotel Flamingo Oasis
7. Best Established 4-Star: Meliá Benidorm
Meliá Benidorm is a well-rounded family choice, with amenities aimed at keeping both children and adults entertained — multiple pools, family-sized rooms, and a location that puts Mundomar’s dolphins and sea lions within easy reach for a day trip.
Best for: Families wanting a trusted international brand with consistent service.

8. Best for Self-Catering Groups: Magic Tropical Splash
Magic Tropical Splash is a practical choice for families who want water slides, larger apartment-style rooms, and an easy all-inclusive stay without the strong theming (and higher price) of the other Magic resorts.
Best for: Larger families or multi-generational groups needing more space.
