We just got to fall, but if you’re planning on a spring break trip, it’s not too early to start planning. In fact, if you want to secure enough space for the whole family at these premium resorts, you ought to book early. With a limited window of time and high demand, these family friendly places will fill up faster than you think. Here are some of Master Travel’s top picks for spring break with your family!

St. Lucia

Our top pick resort is Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Hotel, at Anse Chastanet on the island’s west coast. The snorkeling and SCUBA diving are excellent, and easy to use kayaks are complimentary in the water sports center. For more experienced kayakers, prijon kayaks with rudders and carbon fiber paddles are also available. In the shadow of the pitons, Sugar Beach is a great base for hikers, and two kids clubs ensure no matter their age, your kids will have a great time. The sugar club is for 4- to 12-year-olds, while the spice club caters to tweens and teens. There’s even babysitting for babies and toddlers.

Antigua



With two beaches, there’s one dedicated to activity and one for quiet solitude at Curtain Bluff. Bay Beach is buzzing, with a cafe and bar, and a barbecue every Wednesday afternoon. At the back of the beach, there’s a pool, basketball court, bocce ball and shuffleboard. Surf Beach features hammocks and little else, so parents can escape while the kids play. There’s a shaded sandbox and jungle gym for little kids and a game room full of movies, video games and board games. This resort is all-inclusive, and five star dining will be enjoyed by your entire family.

Turks & Caicos

There are several areas of the islands to enjoy, but our top pick is the Shore Club, in peaceful Long Bay Beach—the most private stretch of Providenciales, the most sought after location of the Turks and Caicos Islands. The Shore Club will separate you from the more crowded Grace Bay, but offers the best of both worlds, a stunning, secluded beach just minutes away from Provo’s town center. Your kids will be happy as clams climbing in the kids’ club tree house while you’re slathered in a mix of bee honey, brown sugar and vanilla at the Dune Spa. The rooms here are perfect for a family, beautifully appointed, large, and equipped with both a full kitchen and washer/dryer.

Partnered with the Shore Club, we also recommend the iconic Palms located in popular Grace Bay. Boundless ocean views at this Grace Bay resort from stylishly-appointed rooms and suites ensure peace and tranquility while world-class amenities; including a 25,000 square foot spa and state-of-the-art infinity pool, promise rest and relaxation. A well-equipped fitness centre, together with water sports and tennis cater for more active guests and a dedicated children’s club provides fun and excitement for your kids.

You can pair a stay at the Palms and Shore Club together and enjoy both sides of the island during your stay! This program is unique to these two hotels, so contact us for more details!

Nevis

It’s a relatively quiet island as far as the Caribbean goes, playing little sister to St. Kitts. But the Four Seasons Resort Nevis makes the island a perfect destination for families. The Sea Turtle Conservancy offers educational activities as part of the Kids For All Seasons program for children ages 3-9. Sand castle molds makes it easy to have a friendly competition to see who can build the most regal castle, with a gelato bike making the rounds to make sure everyone has all the fuel they need. 

Grenada

In the past, Grenada was oft overlooked because clients could not enjoy direct flights to the island, We are happy to share that United and Jet Blue now offer direct flights to this unique island, also knows as “The Spice Island”. Our favorite family resort here is the Spice Island Beach Resort. This five star all-inclusive resort is located on a 1600’ stretch of beautiful Grand Anse Beach. We recommend the Sea Grape rooms, as you will walk out the door and be on your very own private section of this special beach.

“The Nutmeg Pod” offers a supervised play space for youngsters. Open daily from 9am to 5pm, the Pod caters to children from 3 to 12 years. A weekly schedule of organized activities along with healthy snacks, electronic game stations and board games ensure a fun-time for all. The Pod gives parents an opportunity to enjoy a family holiday and still have time for each other, making it the ideal complement to your stay.

For the more adventurous family, we HIGHLY recommend an excursion to the world’s first underwater sculpture park. In 2006, former dive instructor Jason deCaires Taylor wanted his work to provide a benefit beyond its artistic existence, so he created dozens of concrete and rebar sculptures to double as artificial reefs. Now a World Unesco Heritage Site, this unique experience is fun for the entire family.
