Best Kid-Friendly Accommodations

in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach

June 27, 2025

Alabama’s Beaches is the ultimate destination for an unforgettable vacation. With outdoor adventures and water activities, fantastic restaurants, unique attractions, and miles of beaches, there are so many ways for families to connect and make memories. Your accommodation should allow you to do the same. 

Keeping kids entertained can be challenging, especially on a multi-day vacation. Thankfully, our area has fantastic lodging options that even the most unimpressed teenager will love. While there are no “non” family-friendly lodging options in the destination, there are several accommodations with amenities like splash pads, arcades, basketball courts, and waterslides, perfect for those traveling with kids and teens. We’ve highlighted the best kid-friendly resorts, hotels, and condos in Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, and Fort Morgan.

Kid-Friendly Resorts

Perdido Beach Resort

Resorts are ideal options for kids as they offer lots of water activities such as waterslides, splash pads, and a lazy river – three things that kids love. These properties provide a fun and inclusive experience with on-site dining, entertainment and beach access. Stay at one of these resorts for a convenient, fun-filled vacation.

Guests can also take advantage of on-site watersport rentals, cruises, campfires, photoshoots, and fishing excursions. Beach Club also offers tons of activities for kids at its clubhouse. From poolside crafts and scavenger hunts to movie nights, there are plenty of ways to entertain the kiddos.
