Spring break · Luxury family resorts
Busy days. Big suites. Easy evenings.
Spring break falls between March and April, and the children who come are old enough to want a full day: water sports, pools, tennis, something new each morning.
So look past the beach to what the resort runs on its own grounds, then pick a suite, residence or villa where everyone has a bed and a door. These six do both.
Book one of more than 40 villas and residences on Pinney’s Beach, two to seven bedrooms, each with its own pool. The resort runs one of the Caribbean’s best family programs, an on-site golf course and Troon’s 2025 Resort Tennis Centre of the Year.
The villas run from one-bedroom suites to large estates, many with private pools, and in-villa nannies can be arranged. Kids help researchers tag turtles, meet the horses and emus at the rescue barn, and fill the rest of the day at the Beach Club’s three pools, pickleball and Seabobbing; it is reached by boat or helicopter.
Ask for the Palm Suite Swim Out or Palm Luxe Swim Out, with the pool right off the room. Four pools, a private beach with watersports and a Jack Nicklaus golf course keep everyone busy, about 8 miles from Punta Cana International.
The Estate wing has residences up to five bedrooms, including beach-level residences with pools. Kids Town, for ages 5 to 12, is complimentary, with kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing and snorkelling.
The Residences go up to four bedrooms for families, and the villas add private patios and plunge pools. The resort sits between the Pitons with a PADI dive facility, and the Rainforest Spa is there for the adults.
Take Club Suites: the Club Level lounge serves breakfast, snacks, drinks and sweets through the day, so nobody waits for a meal. Two pools and plenty of water play line Palm Beach, and every room has a private balcony.
A ten-year-old and a sixteen-year-old want different weeks. Send us your spring break dates and who’s coming, and we’ll match the resort and the suite.
