Top 5 Family-Friendly Places to Stay in Hawaii with Kids 🌺

Dreaming of a Hawaiian getaway with your little ones? Hawaii is a family paradise—lush landscapes, warm beaches, and endless activities that keep both kids and parents happy. The key is finding the right place to stay. From toddler-friendly pools to on-site kids’ clubs, these resorts and rentals make traveling with children a breeze.

Here are our top 5 places to stay in Hawaii with kids:

1. Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa (Oahu)

   It doesn’t get more kid-friendly than Disney magic in Hawaii. Aulani offers splash zones, lazy rivers, character breakfasts, and even childcare so parents can sneak in a spa treatment. Pack their kids’ UPF 50+ rashguards and sun hat for toddler & youth for long days in the pool or beachside.

2. Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort (Maui)

   Famous for a massive pool complex (hello, water elevator!) and a kids’ camp with Hawaiian cultural activities. Don’t forget a quick-dry toddler swim set for easy pool-to-lunch transitions.

3. Turtle Bay Resort (Oahu’s North Shore)

   Laid-back and adventure-ready: horseback riding, tide pool exploration, and calm lagoons. Keep little explorers shaded with a baby sun hat (infant UPF 50+) and a lightweight rashguard.

4. Hyatt Regency Maui Resort & Spa (Maui)

   Penguin feedings, astronomy programs, and a kid-friendly pool mean days packed with fun. Our youth rashguard tops are perfect for all-day sun protection between activities.

5. Vacation Rentals with a Kitchen (Kauai & Big Island)

   Great for families who like a slower pace and easy meals for picky eaters. Rentals often mean quieter beaches nearby—pack your kids’ beach essentials for stress-free days.

Pro Tip: No matter where you stay, build a “beach day bag” with sunscreen, reusable water bottles, and UPF 50+ hats & rashguards. Hawaii’s sun is strong year-round—sun-safe gear keeps the focus on fun, not sunburns.
