Costa Brava Family Hotels with Tennis

Why families love Mas Tapiolas

Tennis sits at the back of the gardens with the Par-3 course next to it, so older kids can hit balls while younger ones use the children's pool and indoor play area. Family rooms have terrace gardens, which sounds gimmicky but actually works because toddlers can be outside without disappearing. Babysitting and board games at reception. The drawback: you need a car for the beach (10 minutes by road), but the bonus is no resort crowds and a real hilltop village to walk to in the evening.

Why families love Hotel Aigua Blava

Parents who book Aigua Blava are not chasing daily water-park access - they're after the views, the cove walks, and the unhurried hotel-grounds routine. Reviews praise the staff (third generation of the same Catalan family), the on-site play area for under-tens, and the food with strong fish and seafood. The water-park day is treated as one excursion among several, with calanque snorkelling and Begur old town often rating higher with kids.

Why families love Hotel Indalo Park

Indalo Park leans into the entertainment-resort formula without becoming a giant chain hotel. The pool layout works well for siblings of different ages, the kids' club runs daytime sessions, and the evening mini-disco saves your sanity at 9pm. The tennis booking is through reception; courts are nearby rather than on site. Rooms are clean, balconies face either the pool or the back gardens. Beach access is short but you cross a road and the railway, so don't send children alone.

Why families love Hotel Cap Roig & Spa by Brava Hoteles

Cap Roig sits a 15-minute walk from Platja d'Aro centre, so you get the beach and quiet evenings without giving up restaurants and shops. The cove below is calmer than the main town beach, which matters with under-eights. Tennis is single-court so book a slot early. The heated indoor pool is open year-round, useful in shoulder season. Down sides: rooms are showing their age in places, and the spa is small enough that an evening hour easily fills it.

Why families love La Costa Hotel Golf & Beach Resort

The location is the standout. You step off the lawn straight onto Pals beach, which is wide, sandy and shallow for a long way out, so small kids can paddle without parents watching the depth. Tennis and the playground are within a five-minute walk of the rooms, so older siblings can run between them. The buffet has a kid-friendly section. Watch the rate at peak July: family rooms get expensive, but a balcony with golf-green views is usually worth it.

Why families love Hotel Castell Blanc

Castell Blanc is our budget pick for a golf and beach week. Rooms are simple, the restaurant is functional rather than memorable, but the price-to-location ratio works if you plan to spend most days on the course or at the beach. The pool fills with kids by 5pm, which is when the golfer typically rolls back from Empordà.

Why families love Hotel Bell Aire

The budget pick in this list. L'Estartit is a small Catalan beach town with shallow water, a long flat promenade and the Medes Islands snorkelling tours leaving from the harbour. The hotel's saltwater pool is small but the beach is across the road, so you barely use it. Family rooms with balconies face the sea — request one. Tennis courts are public, low-cost and a five-minute walk. If your kids will snorkel or paddle-board, this is the best value on the list.
