Beaches® Resorts rewrote the family vacation playbook. Instead of parents sacrificing comfort for kid-friendliness, or kids feeling out of place in adult luxury, Beaches Resorts created getaways where everyone gets the Caribbean vacation they want, because it’s all included. Sand between their toes, yes, but also sushi; waterslides, of course, and also day spas; PADI® scuba certifications and Sesame Street® sing-alongs; food trucks and fine dining with wine. Here, the family vacation philosophy is about AND not OR.
In Turks and Caicos or Negril, Jamaica, you’ll find private butler villas, restaurants that turn mealtime into showtime, and enough entertainment to remove the words “I’m bored” from everyone’s vocabulary. The vibe is polished yet playful, where barefoot feels natural and five-star feels deserved. Even beyond the resorts, these islands reveal why they’re among the Caribbean’s most coveted getaways: soft white sand, calm turquoise water, and year-round sunshine—perfect weather for family fun.
Yoga with Elmo and more kid-friendly programming at Beaches Resorts

There’s something charming about watching a toddler share sweet treats with Cookie Monster or stretching during a yoga session with Elmo. Beaches’ partnership with Sesame Street brings the characters to life across both resorts with daytime parades, story-time adventures, and letter- and number-of-the-day games. Kids learn puppet-making with Bert and Ernie and amazing art with Julia, and then get all that energy out at a rock ‘n’ roll dance party with Elmo and Rosita. With an exclusive Sesame Street lineup, little ones get their own version of the vacation of a lifetime.
At Beaches Kids Camp, young guests get VIP treatment—and playtime for them means chill time for you. Grouped by age from babies to teens, each gets their own world to explore along Caribbean shores. Nature walks, beach Olympics, and sandcastle competitions fill the schedule, with INA- and IBCCES-certified nannies and staffers who treat their curiosity as currency. It’s structured enough for learning, loose enough for laughter, and long enough for parents to linger over Blue Mountain coffee and sips at the swim-up bar.

On the teen scene, there’s a special corner of paradise with pickleball clinics, pool Olympics, and Caribbean dive trips. Pizza bars, game lounges, and karaoke nights with mocktails at Club Liquid give the kind of independence teens crave, with none of the worry for parents.

For every family, there’s that moment when sun, laughter, and splashes meet in perfect proportion. Pirates Island Water Park delivers it daily with winding slides, surf simulators, splash zones, and lazy rivers that serpentine past smoothie bars and food trucks.
Visit Beaches Turks & Caicos for water sports and family fun

Beaches Turks & Caicos invites you to switch off notifications and put vacation mode on. The resort stretches along 12 miles of Grace Bay Beach, where the sea shines in gradients of aquamarine and the sand feels like sifted flour. It’s the flagship resort, thoughtfully designed across six themed villages, each offering pools, restaurants, and energy, with the whole experience flowing together like a family-friendly vacation town.
The 45,000-square-foot water park steals the spotlight, and what lingers is the variety of activities. Play tennis, pickleball, and volleyball on courts tucked between the palms. Cruise on a catamaran or Hobie Cat as it slices the bay. Go on diving excursions to reefs so alive you can almost feel them pulse. All equipment and expert instruction are included, so you and the crew can rack up skills and bragging rights. Dive into snorkeling, sailing, and PADI® scuba, or trade fins for land sports and beach games.

In 2026, Treasure Beach debuts as the newest, most over-the-top village in the Turks & Caicos lineup. With grand suites and VIP views, this top-tier Caribbean getaway is specifically designed with the ultimate family vacation in mind. Splash through winding water pathways, float in a walk-in lagoon pool, then catch a movie at the portfolio-first Starfish Cinema. Here, parents discover the treasure of a truly effortless escape.
Treasure Beach perfects the balance of family comfort and Caribbean flair. The three-story ClearSky Reserve Villas reach for the clouds, while the Chairman’s Butler Suite takes sprawling luxury to an art form. Two-bedroom Club Suites, three-bedroom Butler Villas with kid-friendly bunks, and rooms tailored for teens turn Treasure Beach into a family playground in full color.
The new dining options at Treasure Beach feel like their own food festival, starting with global fare at Pinta Food Hall. Morning caffeine or evening cocktails happen at Bru, and a classic prime-cut dinner at Beaches’ first Butch’s Island Chop House. And when the sun dips, giving off its last light, families can curl up in the Starfish Cinema for a vacation movie night. This is where dining and downtime get upgraded—room to roam meets room to reconnect.
Off-resort and just minutes away, the weekly Fish Fry brings everyone out. Locals, visitors, and musicians mingle over music, conch salad, grilled lobster, and sides, complete with steel drums and Junkanoo dancers. It’s a scene worth stepping off property for, best capped by a stroll along Grace Bay as the sky folds into twilight.
Stay in newly renovated suites at Beaches Negril
On Jamaica’s famed Seven Mile Beach, Beaches Negril sets a different tempo—smaller, slower, and framed by a beach so gentle it feels designed for toddlers’ first steps. The water stays calm and shallow, inviting long afternoons of snorkeling and floating in glassy turquoise hues.
The resort has been completely reimagined, featuring all-new rooms, suites, and a refreshed design that still keeps its easy Caribbean soul. With a generous stretch of beach as its front yard, nearly everything—pools, restaurants, bars, water park—sits just steps from the sand, so the shoreline becomes part of every day’s plan.
Among the showpiece accommodations, the Firesky Reserve Villa Four Bedroom Butler spans three stories, with its own private plunge pool, rooftop terrace, and airy living spaces for families of up to 10 who like room to roam. The Eventide Penthouse Four Bedroom Balcony & Roof Terrace Butler takes a contemporary approach, with sweeping ocean views, a deck up top, indoor–outdoor flow, and butler service for large families or groups of up to 16.
Days unfold at an unhurried pace—lazy-river drifts, paddleboarding in calm shallows, a Red Lane® Spa break while the kids head to camp. The Pirates Island Water Park anchors the beachfront with slides, splash zones, and winding waterways that double as the resort’s laugh track.
Dining here spans every craving, with 13 restaurants ranging from Soy Sushi Bar and Kimonos for teppanyaki theatrics to Stewfish on the beach and The Mill for international buffets. Newer additions like Yaku Peruvian Kitchen bring a fresh global edge, while the island’s first Butch’s Steak and Seafood adds refined flair to seaside nights.
Smaller in scale than its Turks & Caicos sister, Negril’s intimacy makes it perfect for younger families. The calm shallows of Seven Mile Beach act as a natural playground, and the resort’s fresh look brings modern polish to the laid-back soul of Jamaica.
Beaches Resorts bring families together
At Beaches, family life comes with a turndown service. Suites and villas are built for togetherness, not compromise. Multi-bedroom layouts ensure privacy, while shared living spaces keep the spirit of family intact.
The entertainment keeps pace—karaoke nights, talent shows, and beach bonfires, where stories trade places with s’mores. Some families travel to escape routine; others travel to find new ones. Beaches manages both with ease.
