One of the Best Family Resorts in Florida

Family-First Amenities

We offer the little things, like cribs and pack-and-plays, beach chairs, towels and umbrellas, and a convenient market for snacks and food on-the-go. But we offer big things too, like a variety of kid-friendly restaurants with great kids’ menus and suites that come with bunk beds in a little private alcove. To parents, these things go a long way toward making family vacations enjoyable, relaxing and hassle-free – which is the whole point.

Local Babysitting Services

For the nights, and days, that you need a little extra time to yourself, Hilton Sandestin recommends Coastal Kids Babysitting. A locally owned business, parents can book daytime and nighttime sitting services any day of the week—holidays included. And, if you need a little extra help, Coastal Kids Babysitting also offers Mother's Helper services. Soak up the sun with some peace of mind, knowing you have an extra set of hands and eyes. Crafts, games and stories will keep the little ones entertained with minimal screen time!

Kid-Friendly Activities

Kids love our offerings here at Hilton Sandestin Beach. There are indoor and outdoor pools, poolside cabanas, beach volleyball, golf, tennis and Destin's best family-friendly attractions, including a zip line, ropes course, water park, aquarium and go-karts. For children over 14, we also offer stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking on the water.

Kids love Hilton Sandestin Beach for all of the fun things to do, but there is a lot for parents to enjoy if they have a little time for themselves, like our full-service spa or AAA Four Diamond steakhouse Seagar’s Prime Steaks & Seafood, for example.

These are suggestions we've come up with after watching our families enjoy themselves here for four decades. We know what works, and we’re here to share it with you.
