Although downtown Miami is moments away, the acclaimed Ritz-Carlton Key Biscayne transports your family to a secluded island. The Ritz Kids guides await to play kickball and teach your little ones about sharks – they even have a special American Girl package, so even the dolls get pampered.

Get back to nature at the Palms, an independently owned resort with family at the core. This hotel has a strong eco-message – from its beach clean-up program to a true farm-to-table philosophy.

Top off the afternoon with a nourishing Miami Smoothie before you hit the beach in style with a private tiki cabana.

8. The Savoy Hotel and Beach Club

Chain Hotel, Hotel

The Savoy Hotel & Beach Club blends the glamour of its 1930s Art Deco origins with tropical elegance, creating a stylish retreat for your family. The hotel has only 31 suites in total, so you benefit from maximum space and attentive service. Quality family time is guaranteed at the Savoy, as the hotel has two acres (0.8ha) of beachfront to enjoy. Rent a bike and cruise down the Lummus Park promenade before returning to the beach club for a sunset cocktail (or soft drink) by the pool.
