LGBT-friendly Resorts for Families

Located just off the party area of Playa d'en Bossa, the Grand Palladium Palace is a 5-star resort designed for a more low key vacation than some of its more famous party neighbors. Perfect for families, there are children's clubs and a complete program of activities in addition to four freshwater swimming pools and sports facilities. Adults can participate in fitness classes, wine tastings, boogie nights and full moon parties.

At the end of Leblon beach, the Sheraton Grand Rio is off set from the busy Copacabana-Ipanema zone, although visible from any place on the beach and within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The beach is near-private, and guests of the 539 rooms have access to a vast pool complex, spa, tennis courts, four quality restaurants, a posh bar, dedicated kids areas with childcare service and a free shuttle to area attractions.

The beachfront Aulani resort is the third Disney Vacation Club Resort located outside of a Disney theme park property and maintains the brand's same commitment to and respect for diversity and family fun. Rooms decorated in island style surround what Aulani calls Waikohohe Valley, a magical place of waterslides, pools, and a lazy river, connected by meandering paths. Parents and children will also find any number of activities from breakfast with Disney characters to Aunty's Beach House kids club, where children can explore Hawaiian culture, art and music.
