Rosewood Hotels and Resorts occupies a unique position in the world of luxury hospitality. With properties that are genuinely individual, deeply rooted in their sense of place and consistently delivered through some of the most intuitive service in the industry, Rosewood has built a reputation that resonates powerfully with families who travel at the highest level.
But not every Rosewood property is equally well suited to families. At The Family Suite we have curated the properties within the Rosewood collection that we believe deliver the best experience for design-conscious families. Here is our expert edit.
Rosewood Mayakoba Riviera Maya, Mexico
Nestled along winding lagoons and the turquoise Caribbean Sea, Rosewood Mayakoba sets a new standard for timeless sophistication in Mexico's Riviera Maya, consistently recognised as one of the best resorts in Mexico by Travel and Leisure World's Best Awards for eleven consecutive years.
The 129 private suites feature private plunge pools and expansive terraces, many with private lagoonside docks, while configurations of three to six bedrooms in the lagoonside villas make this a particularly compelling option for larger families and groups.
Family experiences at Rosewood Mayakoba include seasonal events and activities, family-themed evenings, dedicated nannies arranged with 24 hours notice, and a cenote explorer programme where children are guided through ancient caves and rock formations before receiving a cenote explorer badge. The El Camaleón championship golf course, the first in Mexico to host a PGA Tour, provides an exceptional additional dimension for multigenerational families.
The Family Suite says: Rosewood Mayakoba is one of the great family resort experiences in the Americas. The lagoon setting, the all-suite accommodation, the private beach clubs and the depth of cultural programming make it genuinely difficult to leave. It consistently ranks among our most enquired-about properties.
Rosewood Baha Mar Nassau, Bahamas
Set along 3,000 feet of pristine white-sand coastline on Nassau's Cable Beach, Rosewood Baha Mar is a sanctuary of exclusivity within the stunning Baha Mar resort enclave, featuring 237 guestrooms, suites and beachfront villas, authentic dining experiences, exclusive beach access and a Sense Spa.
The Rosewood Explorers Club inspires creativity and curiosity, offering families an unforgettable experience filled with wonder and joy, while guests also enjoy access to Baha Mar's spectacular amenities including the Kids Explorers Club, Racquet Club with Pickleball, Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course and miniature golf course.
Exclusive to Rosewood guests, two distinctive pools complement the broader Baha Mar poolscape, including a lagoon-style pool with luxury cabanas ideal for family pool days and a quieter courtyard pool for a more tranquil experience. Yoga classes with Baha Mar's resident flamingos in the Rosewood garden offer one of the most memorably playful family experiences available at any luxury hotel anywhere in the world.
The Family Suite says: Rosewood Baha Mar combines the intimacy and service of a boutique luxury hotel with access to a world-class resort complex. For families who want a Caribbean holiday that delivers on every level, from beach and pool to dining and activity, this is the one.
Rosewood Phuket Emerald Bay, Phuket, Thailand
Rosewood Phuket is the brand's first resort in Asia, harmonising seamlessly with a verdant hillside along Emerald Bay, where 71 stunning pavilions and villas embrace their striking surroundings and offer calming views of lush gardens and the turquoise Andaman Sea.
The Rosewood Explorers Club at Phuket is designed to stimulate the minds and bodies of younger guests, featuring an exciting indoor clubhouse with unique climbing walls, arts and crafts, a performance stage and relaxing reading nooks, as well as a children's pool, cabanas and child-size sunloungers. The Rose Buds programme meanwhile welcomes the youngest guests with thoughtful in-villa amenities and special services throughout the stay.
Families seeking generous space should look to the Ocean or Beach House, both spanning 796 square metres with two bedrooms, a living and dining room, a private pool and extensive green outdoor space, while the hotel's impeccable green credentials include water harvesting and a solar renewable energy system covering more than 75 per cent of the resort's energy needs.
The Family Suite says: Rosewood Phuket is our recommendation for families seeking the finest of Southeast Asian luxury in a setting that feels genuinely removed from the world. The pavilion and villa accommodation, the Emerald Bay beach and the cultural programming make it one of the most complete family experiences in Thailand.
Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin Courchevel 1850, French Alps
Opening in December 2025 as Rosewood's first ever ski resort, Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin is set at the pinnacle of Courchevel 1850, the most exclusive ski resort in the French Alps, designed by French interior architect Tristan Auer as a refined alpine chalet that is at once deeply cosy and impeccably luxurious.
The property offers direct ski-in ski-out access to Les Trois Vallées, the world's largest connected ski area, with dedicated ski butlers to handle every detail of the mountain experience. The 51 rooms and suites include signature houses accommodating up to eight guests, making them ideal for larger families and groups, while a kids club, family-friendly Premier Junior Suites with sofa beds and a children's cave with water jets ensure younger guests are exceptionally well catered for.
The hotel lobby features an art installation by Olafur Eliasson comprising suspended crystalline structures that evoke snowflake forms through mirrored surfaces, setting the tone for a property that takes design as seriously as it takes skiing.
The Family Suite says: Rosewood Courchevel is one of the most exciting new openings in the Alps and a natural addition to our collection for families planning a luxury ski holiday in France. The ski-in ski-out access, the signature house configurations and the Rosewood service standard make this an exceptional choice for winter 2025/26 and beyond.
Rosewood Bermuda Tucker's Point, Bermuda
With just 88 rooms, suites and residences, guests at Rosewood Bermuda feel they are part of an elite club with exclusive access to the largest private pink-sand beach on Bermuda as well as the island's finest amenities. Bermuda itself remains one of the most underrated luxury family destinations in the world, a short direct flight from London and the US East Coast with a distinctly British charm, extraordinary pink sand beaches and some of the clearest water in the Atlantic.
The Rosewood Explorers programme offers special services, amenities and activities for younger guests, ensuring unforgettable family-focused vacations, while the Tucker's Point Club provides access to exceptional golf, tennis and water sports facilities. The resort's position just ten minutes from the airport makes it one of the most logistically straightforward luxury family destinations in the Caribbean basin.
The Family Suite says: Rosewood Bermuda is the best kept secret in our collection. The pink sand beach, the intimate scale, the exceptional service and the ease of getting there from the UK make it a property that consistently surprises the families we send there. One of our most personal recommendations.
Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco Val d'Orcia, Tuscany, Italy
Located within one of the oldest and best-preserved estates in Tuscany, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco celebrated its tenth anniversary under the Rosewood brand in 2025, set within a 5,000-acre, 900-year-old Italian estate encompassing ancient castle ruins from the 12th century, a 14th-century medieval church and a historic borgo that forms the vibrant core of the resort.
The 42 suites and 11 one-of-a-kind private villas are nestled throughout the estate, each restored from original 17th and 18th-century farmhouses with their own heated pool, while the Michelin-starred Ristorante Campo del Drago and the more relaxed Osteria La Canonica offer two very different but equally exceptional dining experiences.
The resort is rooted in history and surrounded by the beauty of Tuscany, and is described as a cherished retreat where families and friends create lasting memories, with Italy's only private golf club reserved exclusively for members and guests, a cooking school, a spa and wine tasting tours at the on-site Brunello di Montalcino winery.
The Family Suite says: Castiglion del Bosco is one of the most romantic and extraordinary family properties in Europe. The sheer scale of the estate, the privacy of the villas, the Michelin-starred dining and the Brunello winery make this feel like a genuinely once-in-a-lifetime Tuscany experience. Our strongest recommendation for multigenerational family stays in Italy.
Rosewood Blue Palace Elounda, Crete, Greece — Opening 2027
Rosewood Blue Palace will mark Rosewood Hotels and Resorts' entrance into Greece when Crete's distinguished Blue Palace reopens as part of Rosewood in 2026 following a complete reimagination of the celebrated property.
Located near the Cretan port of Elounda and nestled into a hillside of palm and olive trees overlooking a private beach, the property will feature 154 rooms and suites, including 85 with private pools, as well as the Asaya Spa, fitness centre, yoga pavilion, movement studio, hydrotherapy and three outdoor pools with views of the Mediterranean Sea.
The Elounda area is already home to two of our existing Cretan partners, making this part of the island one of the finest concentrations of luxury family hotels in Greece. Rosewood Blue Palace will bring an entirely new dimension to that offering when it opens.
The Family Suite says: This is one of the most anticipated openings in Greece for 2026 and a property we have had firmly on our radar since it was announced. The setting, the Rosewood service standard and the scale of the renovation make it a future flagship of our collection. Watch this space.
