Five Family-Friendly Luxury Hotels With Disabled Facilities in Europe

Sharing is caring!

I had a friend ask me why there was so little information on family-friendly hotels with disabled facilities. She’s got a wheelchair-bound middle child and two other children. Finding a special needs hotel for the whole family that is both disabled friendly for a child but also meets the luxury standards of the rest of the family has been challenging for them. Like other families, they would like a fun family vacation that caters to everyone in the family.

Holidays for the disabled tend to cater to adults. Moreover, many places in Europe with its pretty historic buildings and cute narrow cobblestone streets have a real issue trying to install inclusive facilities into structures that just weren’t designed for them. For example, do you sacrifice the historic quality of something by putting in railings and ramps?  As a newer country, the USA has more inclusive destinations for family travel. Here are my picks of the best family-friendly luxury hotels with disabled facilities in some of the most popular destinations of Europe for family travellers.

Family-Friendly Hotels With Disabled Facilities

Cyprus – Anassa

The Anassa is a family-friendly luxury hotel in western Cyprus. It’s got a well-known spa, a kids club and eight restaurants that offer everything from beach barbecue to fine dining.  There is plenty to do on-site between the four pools (one of which is adults only) and the water sports centre which offers everything from snorkelling to sailing.

The Anassa is a firm favourite with discerning family travellers.

Having stayed at both the Anassa and its sister property, the Annabelle in Paphos, we noticed that the Anassa is fairly isolated. It takes about an hour to get to The Anassa from Paphos. In our opinion, Paphos didn’t really deliver on the charm anyway so maybe you aren’t missing anything.  In addition, the Anassa has so much going for it that you don’t actually need or want to leave!

Furnished in a contemporary European style, design lovers will appreciate the clean hip look of the resort. Think lots of white, pops of colour and natural materials like wood and marble. The resort is so cool that it’s even been recommended in design-loving family magazine, Design Milk.
