The days when Hotel Kids Club were isolated rooms dotted with some toys and games are over. Now, from the jungles of Sri Lanka to the beaches of Marbella, we focus on some of the most exciting new kids' clubs on offer, from tours that entertain the whole family, to dedicated accommodation options that will make you feel comfortable for the whole gang.

Children's clubs changing the game
Sitting on the obstacle at the southern tip of Sri Lanka's jagged southern tip, Cape Weligama has opened a forest school for children aged 2-15. The terracotta tiled two-bedroom family suite at Relais & Châteaux properties features a large veranda overlooking the emerald green gardens, entangled in a secluded cove. relaischateaux.com
Sitting on top of the waters of Noon Atoll in the Maldives or protected by the island's lush interiors, Sonevajani is home to Den, a paradise for fairy children. There are many age-based activities, from zip rings to cooking lessons and dress-ups, but the academy teaches older children rooted in nature. soneva.com
At Amilla Maldives, the world's first resort signed off by Incrucare for accessibility, staff are trained to use specialized equipment to ensure activities such as reef snorkeling and jet skiing. Under the resort's lush coconut palm, the kids' club hosts art classes, photography, treasure hunts and more. amilla.com
