There’s nothing quite as disappointing as dragging your teenager on a family holiday to find them utterly and thoroughly bored. That’s why, in 2025, many five-star hotels are upping the ante when it comes to teen-specific packages and activities, proving their family-friendly offering extends way beyond the kids’ club and babysitting services. Spanning the Maldives to Megève, here are the best luxury hotels geared towards teen’s needs – offering an array of exciting excursions and workshops, from mountain biking to polo lessons, that even adults will be envious of. 

St Regis Maldives Vommuli Resort, Maldives

New at the St Regis Maldives for 2025 is the Vommuli Society – a thoughtfully curated teen club offering guests aged 13-17 an elevated and enriching island experience. This 77-key private island sanctuary, located in one of the Maldives’ most exclusive atolls, welcomes teens and parents with personalised amenities, including robes, slippers, and locally inspired treats, while dedicated butlers are on hand to arrange every detail, from excursions to private family beach picnics.

The Vommuli Society, however, is crafted with the needs and aspirations of teenagers squarely in mind, offering a complimentary daily schedule including Island Capture sessions – guided photography walks through the resort’s most scenic spots, with tips on storytelling and creative editing – and interactive workshops at the Maldivian Culture Lab teaching curious young minds the art of palm weaving, coconut painting and traditional Boduberu drumming. Elsewhere, teens can kick back and relax at the Social Lounge: a private retreat with games, music, and spaces to relax with like-minded guests. 

From £2,330 per night. 

Four Seasons Megève, France

While there’s plenty to entice well-heeled adults to Four Seasons Megève in both summer and winter, the hotel has also ensured teens won’t be left out of the fun either. For younger guests, the Kids Club presents a roster of engaging activities – think horse-drawn carriage rides and supervised activities such as igloo building in winter or visiting the mini-farm in front of the hotel in summer – while the subterranean Teen Zone, for those aged between 11-17, looks like something out of a movie set, complete with foosball, video games, a cinema and a surround-sound music system so they can play their own tunes. 

Elsewhere, this alpine haven offers 55 rooms and suites, an expansive 900 square metre spa with an indoor-outdoor pool, and direct access to the ski slopes in winter and the Mont d’Arbois Golf Course in summer. At the peak of the ski slopes, and just a 15-minute gondola ride from the hotel, lies Idéal 1850, offering extraordinary panoramic views over the entire valley and surrounding peaks, while the charming town of Megève is just a complimentary 10-minute transfer away. If that’s not enough to keep you entertained, then we don’t what is…

From £540 per night. 

Schlosshotel Fiss, Austria

In the heart of the Austrian Tyrol, Schlosshotel Fiss offers a luxurious holiday for families. With 135 individually-designed suites, curated by owner Simone Domenig, it’s a serene retreat throughout the year, boasting a unique ski-in and ski-out location in winter (accessing 214km of slopes) and superb hiking trails and solo-trail bike routes from its doorstep in the summer. Grab a Super Summer Card to get out and about with free access to mountain lifts, hiking buses and themed routes designed by Austrian children’s book author, Thomas C Brezina. 

For relaxation, the SHF Spa welcomes guests older than 15 into its steam rooms, saunas, hammam, pool and more, while little ones can make the most of the Aqua Monte and Splash Water World. Adrenaline-junkie teens can hire bikes from the hotel and join the SHF Youth Programme, with its range of immersive adventures including the thrilling Schneisenfeger summer toboggan coaster, trampoline sessions, hip-hop classes, dedicated teen discovery tours and chill-out zones with a cinema, bouldering wall and interactive gaming. The offering is so good, we wouldn’t be surprised if parents joined in too. 

From £450 per night. 

Phaea Cretan Malia, Crete

Phaea Cretan Malia is a design-led, eco-conscious resort offering family getaways that don’t compromise on style or substance. The sophisticated accommodation offers a variety of options for families big or small, but the top pick would be the Deluxe Family Bungalows, all with views of the hotel’s lush gardens or the Aegean sea. The free Little Explorers Kids Club encourages children to be creative, inventive and makes learning fun, while teenagers can head to The Place: a cool hangout featuring a pool, hammocks, table tennis, darts and an outdoor cinema. 

Immersive excursions by bike or boat come as standard here, while those of all ages are welcome to book basketball and tennis lessons. Get the whole family together at the weekly open-air movie nights, or head to the signature Mouries restaurant to enjoy a true taste of Cretan culture. Yamas!

From £330 per night. 

Royal Hideaway Corales Villas, Tenerife

Boasting more than 300 days of sunshine a year, the newly opened Royal Hideaway Corales Villas in Tenerife is the place to take teens for a sun-drenched holiday. The luxury hotel has something for every member of the family, including a dedicated kids club with its own swimming pool and the Crescendo Teen Club, designated for those aged 13-17 and complete with a cinema, Xbox and TikTok-friendly hangout spot. 

Serene two- and three-bedroom villas offer space to unwind as a family, featuring expansive terraces and private infinity pools. Three sophisticated dining outlets will keep you thoroughly satiated while a comprehensive wellness offering in partnership with Augustinus Bader ensures ultimate relaxation for parents. This is what we call the best of both worlds.

Sani Resort, Greece

Sani Resort, one of Greece’s leading luxury resorts, has launched a new special offer specifically for teens this season. Making the most of its prime location among a 1,000-acre ecological reserve, Sani Resort has tapped into the educational nous of the Rafa Nadal Tennis Centre, Chelsea Football Club Academy, Bear Grylls Survival Academy, and Treetop Adventure Park to ensure teens are thoroughly entertained throughout their stay. 

Teens wanting to hone their cycling skills can grab a bike from the KTM-certified bike club and explore the incredible cycle routes across the resort and through the surrounding forest, all captured on Go-Pro cameras to be uploaded to the ‘gram. Thrill-seekers can take to new heights with Sani’s Treetop Adventure, swinging from ropes and whizzing down ziplines, while the Ozone Teen Club, positioned in the heart of the buzzy Sani Marina, offers console gaming, tournaments and movie nights and is home to its own snack bar, table football, snooker and DJ sets for hours of entertainment.

From £200 per night.

Set among 240 acres of rolling hills and located just 40 minutes from London, Coworth Park is an idyllic escape perfect for families. Here, guests can enjoy a range of estate activities, such as falconry, beekeeping, and duck herding, as well as an array of sports, including tennis on the outdoor courts and croquet on the lawn. While youngsters are off exploring, parents can relax at the hotel’s eco-luxury spa, or enjoy a meal at Michelin-starred Woven by Adam Smith, all safe in the knowledge that their offspring are being well looked after.

Children are guaranteed to be kept entertained here, thanks to a kids club made up of seven playrooms. However, the teen den is a real highlight, complete with an Xbox, PlayStation and air hockey table, and an optional activity programme that includes horse riding, tennis and polo lessons. Plus, Coworth Park’s prime location means that it has a multitude of attractions on its doorstep, including Go Ape, Legoland Windsor, Kew Gardens, Thorpe Park and Chessington World of Adventures.
