Beyond the wonderful family-friendly accommodations, there are thrilling activities to do – take a ride on the world’s steepest zipline, go snorkelling, spend the day at an adventure park or check out the seaside markets. This idyllic island offers escapism and entertainment for all ages from dawn till dusk.
One of the most perfect family-friendly activities on the island is visiting Loterie Farm. Once a sugar plantation, it is now a nature reserve and adventure park. Tour the old plantation while looking out for local wildlife such as the elusive monkeys and iguanas. Aside from getting to learn about the local history, you get to zipline on two different courses and children can tackle an obstacle course. Other favourites are Parotte Ville Bird Park in Philipsburg, riding a horse along the beach in Koolbaai and Fort Amsterdam.
Sonesta Maho Beach Resort is fantastic for families. The all inclusive package offers peace of mind for parents as there will be no huge bills at the end of the trip. There is a kids club, play area and lots of kid-friendly activities. Parents will love the casino, spa, swim-up bar and choice of five restaurants.
For a relaxed stay, choose Grand Case Beach Club. The spacious apartment-style rooms are brilliant for families. There are two private beaches, snorkelling, waterskiing, a beautiful pool overlooking the beach, a restaurant and so much more.
