Indulge the kids in Ibiza with the ultimate kids club activities

The Hard Rock Hotel may not be your first thought when thinking about accommodation for an Ibiza family holiday, but the kids’ club is brilliant with plenty of activities for all ages. There are three different kids’ clubs for babies, kids and teens, with something for everyone.

The Roxity Kids’ Club offers a stage, decorations and costumes so kids can put on their own unique shows whilst older tweens and teens can enjoy a gaming zone, cinema screen, pool and table tennis!

If you are with little ones, you will likely have much of the swimming pool area to yourself first thing in the morning – meaning you can make the most of swim time before the midday sun hits or nap time beckons.

Hideaway and relax on your Ibiza family holiday

The ME Ibiza is tucked away with the closest town Santa Eularia about a €30 taxi ride away. Although the chilled main pool is adults-only, parents can relax knowing that kids are away from any party action in their own secluded kids’ pool and kids’ club situated at the back of the hotel.

There is a small beach out front, and a short stroll will lead you to a larger beach on the left end side (next to Nikki beach), plus Sa Tenka on the right. Hotel staff have been known to provide balloons, sweets and toys to kids checking in too!
