Best Spa Hotels in Split for Families (2026)

Why families love Palazzo President

Of the four, this is the one we'd book for tennis-keen kids. The court is enclosed enough that you don't lose balls every five minutes, the racquet selection includes junior sizes, and the table tennis area gives non-players something to do during their sibling's game. Breakfast caters to early-rising children with eggs cooked to order from 7am. Rooms are large enough for a cot or extra bed. The location, three minutes inside Diocletian's Palace and ten to Bačvice beach, removes the rental car question entirely.

Why families love AC Hotel by Marriott Split

AC Hotel by Marriott Split is the address I recommend when the family trip includes a dog. Pet bowls and a basket are waiting in the room, and the Žnjan dog beach is right across the street, so early walks need no planning. Family rooms are available, Marjan park is ten minutes away and Diocletian's Palace a fifteen-minute walk. The 9.4 rating across more than two thousand Booking reviews backs up the choice.

Why families love Marmont Heritage Hotel

Marmont suits longer Split stays where the per-stay pet fee cap pays off. The hotel is inside the old town walls, which means morning walks straight onto Roman stone alleys before the day gets busy. Rooms are heritage-style with a bit less floor space than modern hotels but enough for two kids and a small dog. Pet bowls supplied; bring your own dog bed.

Why families love Cora Hotel

Cora Hotel is the Split address I recommend to city-break families travelling with a dog. This contemporary four-star in the Bačvice area is ten minutes on foot from Diocletian's Palace and eight from the seafront promenade, so the old town and the beach are both within easy reach. Pet bowls and a basket are provided, family rooms are available, and a 9.3 rating from over 1,300 Booking reviews supports the choice.

Why families love Hotel Park Split

Hotel Park is the only five-star directly on Bačvice beach, and its reserved beach section is why I recommend it to families in Split. Guests get loungers and parasols included on that stretch, so there is no early rush for space. The outdoor pool is kept at 27°C, the breakfast buffet has a children's menu, and there are three restaurants and a spa. Diocletian's Palace is a five-minute walk away.

Why families love Camera Hotel

Three nights in late June with a 9 and 11-year-old. The games nook off the lobby was small but properly stocked: chess, Monopoly, two card decks, and a puzzle in progress that our kids finished by night two. Family room was a connecting double with a daybed for the older kid, very clean. Walked to the seafront in 8 minutes and to the Riva in 12. The nook saved us during a 36-degree afternoon when we couldn't face more old town stone.

Why families love Dioklecijan Hotel & Residence

Dioklecijan Hotel & Residence is the Split address I recommend to families who like to cook a simple meal themselves. Some rooms are apartment-style with kitchenettes, and the spa floor has a steam room, a sauna, a jacuzzi and a relaxation lounge with sea-facing windows. Children can use the jacuzzi area during the day with a parent, and Bačvice beach is only 200 metres away, close enough for quick trips back and forth.

Why families love Marvie Hotel & Health

Marvie Hotel & Health is Split's most serious wellness hotel, and I recommend it to parents who want more than a standard spa. The programme includes body composition analysis, personalised wellness plans, nutritional consultations and more than twenty treatments. Children can use the rooftop pool with its Adriatic views but not the treatment rooms, and the steam room and jacuzzi stay open until 9pm. The beach is a short walk away.

Why families love Divota Apartment Hotel

Varoš is the old fisherman's quarter and it has kept a village feel, which parents say is the real win here. Kids can run around in the tiny squares between apartments without traffic. The on-site spa offers massages for exhausted parents, and there's a small garden area for coffee. Apartments vary in size so ask for photos of your specific unit. Good value compared to hotels inside the palace, and the walk to the beach is shorter than from the old town.

Why families love Art Hotel

Art Hotel is the Split hotel I recommend to families curious about a real hammam. Its wellness floor has tiled rooms with regulated humidity, two hammam-style hot tubs, a steam room and a massage suite, with treatments from a short back rub to full aromatherapy packages. The breakfast buffet is kid-friendly, and Diocletian's Palace is twelve minutes on foot from the Manuš neighbourhood, so the old town is easy to reach.

Why families love Le Meridien Lav Split

Le Méridien Lav Split is the closest thing to a resort near Split, and I recommend it to families who want pools whatever the weather. The heated indoor pool is part of a 1,800 m² pool complex with a separate kids' pool that has a graduated entry for non-swimmers. A free kids' club runs for ages 4 to 12, and the hotel has its own beach in Podstrana, 8 km south of the old town, with bus 60 into Split.

Why families love Bluesun Hotel Soline

Brela is quieter than Tučepi and the hotel's location right by the beach was a huge plus. The kids' club ran morning sessions with arts and crafts while we used the spa. The indoor pool saved us on one rainy afternoon. Breakfast buffet was the best we had in Croatia, with a proper omelette station and fresh pastries.

Why families love Hotel Olivier

Hotel Olivier, formerly Hotel Fanat, is the Split hotel I recommend to families who want both the sea and an indoor pool without leaving the property. It sits directly on Žnjan's pebbly beach, 3 km east of the old town. The indoor pool comes with a spa that has a sauna and steam room, rooms are large by Split standards, and a breakfast buffet is included. Children can walk straight from the lobby onto the beach.

Why families love Radisson Blu Resort & Spa

Radisson Blu Resort & Spa is the option I recommend in Split for families who want a beach holiday with their dog rather than a city break. This five-star resort sits in Žnjan, 4 km east of the old town, with a private beach, a pool complex and family suites. The pet policy is written down, bowls are placed in the room, and pets stay in family suites only. Local bus 60 links the resort to the centre.

Why families love Radisson Blu Resort & Spa Split

Five nights in mid-July with two boys aged 6 and 10. The games room is on the lower lobby level, two pool tables and a board game shelf, open 9am to 11pm. Both boys played me billiards every late afternoon between beach and dinner. Kids club ran 9-12 and 4-6 with crafts and pool games included. Family room was a sea-view connecting double-double, lots of space. Beach was pebble not sand, calm water, lifeguard on duty. Big resort, big breakfast, lots of guests, never felt cramped.
