Best Hotels in the Canaries for Large Families (With 2 Bedroom Apartments & Family Suites)
Finding a hotel that works for a larger family can be one of the trickiest parts of planning a holiday. Many hotels advertise “Family rooms”, but these often mean squeezing everyone into one room with a sofa bed – not ideal when travelling with three or more children.
The Canary Islands are a fantastic choice for large families, offering year-round sunshine, beautiful beaches and a great selection of resorts with two-bedroom apartments, spacious suites and family-friendly facilities.
Whether you’re looking for a self-catering apartment with plenty of space, a resort with splash pools and entertainment, or a winter sun escape during the colder months, these are some of the best hotels in the Canary Islands for families of 5, 6 or more!

Final Thoughts on Hotels in the Canaries for Large Families
Finding the right accommodation can be one of the biggest challenges when planning a holiday for a large family, but thankfully there are plenty of fantastic hotels and resorts across the Canary Islands offering spacious family rooms, suites and apartments that can sleep five or more. Whether you’re looking for a beachfront escape in Lanzarote, a lively family resort in Tenerife or a relaxing break in Gran Canaria, there are plenty of options that offer the space and facilities larger families need.
If you’d like even more comfort, you might also want to consider hotels with two bedrooms and two bathrooms – they’re ideal for larger families who want a little extra privacy and convenience.
If you can’t find a hotel that suits your family, it’s also worth considering a villa. Villas can often offer even more space, multiple bedrooms, private pools and fully equipped kitchens, making them an excellent choice for larger families or those travelling with grandparents or extended family. They can also provide great value, especially when the cost is shared between several people. Check out my post on Villa Holidays for Families – A 2026 Guide.
Whichever type of accommodation you choose, planning ahead and booking early will give you the best chance of securing the perfect place for your next family holiday in Spain.

When I tell you this has boiled my p*ss 🤬
I don’t even need to wonder whether the person who sent me that text was a man or a woman. If a man had to bleed from his willy every month, and deal with fluctuating energy, moods and discomfort - can you imagine what advancements we would have had. Imagine if any of the men running that half marathon had to do it while blood pours from their bits… of course they’d be given the pill which delays it.
It’s just 🤯

This family holiday is currently £1080 for 4 people (and it can sleep up to six!) and this includes flights, luggage, accommodation and car hire leaving on the 24th October!!
It’s currently £1292 for five people and £1640 for six!
Bella Italia recently had a fire, which they say affected 1% of the camp but everything is still running as usual. I wonder if this is why it’s so cheap?! Anyway, it would make the perfect half term break and this is a bargain.
Comment ME and I’ll send you the link for this holiday plus more great value Lake Garda holidays. You can adjust departure airport to find the best option for you - it’s sometimes worth travelling to a further airport for the savings you can make 💛

Disclaimer: I have learnt running 21km is no joke, I would not recommend anyone be this delusional ✌🏻
I know a lot of the running community don’t like this sort of thing; beginners entering races they have no business entering. And I get it. For me, signing up was complete ignorance during a very difficult time. I wanted to raise money for the hospice that was caring for my mum, and the London marathon was happening at the time - I told my mum I’d run the London marathon next year - which is ridiculous as I’ve never ran in my life (I actually got a place on the Pancreatic cancer UK team 🙏🏻). My brother suggested signing up for this half marathon to help me prepare - so I did. And through grief and life, training started a little later than planned… but here we are. It would have been easy to drop out, say I’ll do it another time, but I’m not in it for the glory. I’m there to try my best, and raise money for an amazing charity. We have raised £11k so far; which is absolutely insane. If I get scooped up, I get scooped up. I want to see how far I can get before I do - and I’ll be a lot more prepared for London next year.
If you’d like to support my run by donating to an incredible hospice, I have the link in my linktree ❤️ (it’s linked in my bio or you can google the travel mum linktree)

If you have a young girl, chances are she’s getting a Disney doll for Xmas from me 😂✌🏻
My son will absolutely LOVE this
We already have 50,000 of these, but my friends son doesn’t, and I know he will love them.
We have a lot of this marble run track, but we don’t have one that sticks to a window and automatically takes the ball up and round. Absolute easy win for my kids.
I looked at the rules, it sounds like it will be a fun travel game now Leo is old enough to get involved in card games!
