CLUB MED
Club Med offers the best all-inclusive destinations and facilities with childcare for children of any age. While most all-inclusive resorts do not offer childcare until 3 or sometimes even 5 years old, Club Med’s offerings begin at 4 months. At three North American locations — Sandpiper Bay in Florida, Ixtapa in Mexico and Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic — babysitting is available for babies and toddlers (four months and older) for an additional $79 (low season) to $95 (high season) per day. But children under the age of 4 years old stay free at any of the resorts so the cost evens out!! Spend your days relaxing on the beach, experiencing non-motorized water sports or enjoying a kid-free meal.
DESERT ESCAPE
Tanque Verde Ranch a stunning ranch nestled in the Tucson desert with the Saguaro National State Park as the backdrop is on every little cowgirl and cowboy’s wishlist. A full slate of complimentary children’s programming is available for those who opt for an all-inclusive package, with plenty of horseback riding options, but also hiking, crafts, nature programs, tennis, and swimming. You can unwind at the indoor or outdoor pools, with yoga or trail rides, and at the top-notch spa, while the whole family will enjoy cowboy cookouts and scrumptious southwestern fare daily. There a number of Sante Fe-style adobe-walled cottages and rooms from which to choose and even a glamping option for the adventurous.

The Four Seasons in Florence want your whole family to have fun. Upon check-in, you’ll receive a child-focused map (marked with kid-friendly museums and activities in town) so you know the best places to take the clan without getting the side-eye from locals. They also host activities like hot air balloon rides (right from their garden!) and offer teen spa services. The best part: When you’re ready to sip Negronis and explore the city’s artistic treasures in peace, there is a team of English-speaking nannies on call.

BIG CITY ADVENTURE
New York’s Tribeca neighborhood was once the scene for the hip and artistic but has recently become one of the preferred residential areas for families who still want to be downtown. The SoHo Grand Hotel is the amalgam of both worlds—not only do kiddies get a goldfish to take care of during their stay, but they have the opportunity to watch the latest child-friendly flicks in the hotel’s private theater. This frees you up to have an adults-only brunch at one of the many chic restaurants in the area. A big plus: There is a fleet of accomplished nannies on call should you want to stay out late.
