Booking your holiday with kids' club: all the advice!
Choosing a holiday with a kids' club means making the decision not to get bored on site and ensuring a successful holiday. The terminology in tourism is vast enough to describe all these holiday resorts that offer children's clubs. Children's holiday village club, children's holiday club or children's hotel club... they all mean the same thing, at least in terms of on-site entertainment for children. The difference between these terminologies comes more from the types of accommodation you'll be staying in.
What is a holiday with a kids' club?
A kids' club will offer your children sporting, cultural, intellectual and manual activities and entertainment... They will be divided into different age groups: from 3 months to 3 years in the case of the baby club (this is not available in all accommodation), from 3 to 6 years, 6 to 12 years and 12 years and over (17 years maximum). The greater the capacity of the accommodation, the more activity leaders there are and the larger the groups by age group will be. On the other hand, in smaller clubs, children will be mixed (young and old together). But don't panic! The teenagers will help the little ones with the activities on offer.
Do you want to go on a family holiday and enjoy accommodation with a kids' club so that your little one can make new friends and have fun with age-appropriate games and activities? It's possible!

What are the different types of accommodation that offer kids' clubs?
There are many types of accommodation that offer kids' clubs: holiday villages, residences and of course hotels! It doesn't really matter what you call them, because in hotel clubs you can also find villas located in the resort or estate, with access to all the services of a classic hotel. These are even more luxurious, with more space or surrounded by more nature than in the main hotel building. If the estate has a wooded park.
These different venues offer half-board (with breakfast and dinner), full-board (with menus at every meal) or even all-inclusive packages. For some, all-inclusive is a must for a successful holiday where you put your feet under the table. Be careful, however, not to overdo the bar service or the menus, which can be very copious. If you are staying with catering included, opt for a room rather than a villa. They are located closer to the pools (and even the water park!) and restaurants. They're also comfortable and you'll have a restful night's sleep!
As well as restaurant service, club hotels often have a spa. What could be better after sunbathing by the sea than a spa treatment! These destinations can quickly become a luxury, particularly in the south of France or on the Ile de Beauté. But for those who can afford it, why not? Little extras can enhance your stay, such as a sea view or being on an island for a more exotic feel.
What are the activities in holiday clubs, holiday villages and hotel clubs?
Children's clubs offer children and teenagers the chance to experience their stay in a space all their own. The activity leaders will offer them activities based on the infrastructure and facilities of the residences: swimming pool and water games for the little ones, in fact children enjoy playing in the water. Outdoor games, such as football for young and old, creative games: preparing a show for the end of the stay at the campsite, hotel, residence, etc. In the ski resorts, some clubs offer snow or après-ski activities!!
But the activity leaders can also suggest outdoor outings: a trip to the zoo, games on the beach (collecting shells), or for older children, canoeing in a lake if you're nearby, etc. This will create a great bond between them and create an atmosphere that is both competitive and friendly... In the boarding formula, the children and teenagers will even be able to eat with the activity leaders.
The activities are supervised by qualified activity leaders, in fact there will be nursery nurses to look after the very young, providing them with the necessary care, BAFA holders, sports and first aid educators. Whether you're going to a campsite, residence, hotel or village club, Familytrip is committed to offering you holidays with children's clubs that are suitable for all ages and can accommodate your children from 3 months to 17 years of age anywhere in France! Teenagers have not been forgotten either, and will also be able to have a great time in their own special area, with activities adapted to their age and mood! Most children's clubs are included in the price of your stay. This means you can leave with the confidence that your child will have fun in a safe, child-friendly environment! Depending on the accommodation booked, the kids' club can be open all year round, at weekends or during the school holidays, and can welcome your children by the week, for just a few days or half-days!
What are the benefits of kids club holidays?
The advantages of the club for your children, are that they will be able to have fun during their holiday with other children of their own age with suitable activities. They'll be able to bond with other children, and play with them outside the club, in the aquatic pool, the play area... And it's the same for the older children! Teenagers will be able to meet new people and spend days and evenings with their new friends.
But we're also talking more for you parents! And yes, while your children will be under the responsibility of the activity leaders in the morning, in the afternoon... You'll be able to relax by the pool, beach or lake, depending on the accommodation you've chosen. What could be better than a holiday where you can relax and your little ones can have fun? They'll be happy to tell you all about the activities they've done during the day, and you can enjoy a friendly moment with them after the club, around 5pm.
The kids' club is a fun place where your child will be sure to make new friends, even during the school holidays, a time of year when they're away from their school friends! The kids' club is a place for sharing and having fun, where children get to know each other and discover new passions and interests.
