Treks through the jungle to find the Lost Beach. Snorkelling, island hopping, paddle boarding and playing in the warm ocean waters. Bonfires, forever beaches, and brilliant skies where kids can count shooting stars.
Then there’s the moments that can only be found with the imagination of a child:
Did you know that a Mangrove tree makes for an excellent impromptu fort? That coconut shells are the perfect fine china for those invite-only beach tea parties? That Isla Palenque is the Kingdom of Cool Rocks?
With 400 acres of tropical island to discover, your family will return home anew when you embrace the hidden wonders of Isla Palenque.
Isla Palenque Resort offers safe, gentle waters for swimming, on-island tours, and plenty of beach fun with boogie boards, snorkelling, and kayaking.
Teens can take on “The Ultimate Challenge,” a 5km fitness circuit, while younger explorers enjoy kid-friendly hikes led by our Island Hosts.
Budding chefs will love our cooking and pastry classes, and children can sip on mocktails and smoothies.
Wi-Fi is available but on your terms. You can decide when devices come out, ensuring a perfect balance of connection and adventure.
We care about your family vacation. If you’re determined to make this year “The Year of the Family Tropical Island Adventure”, we’ve put together a few pieces of our best advice:
Most families arrange a full itinerary with us.
This means we pick you up at the airport, take you directly to the island, and help you get around once you’re here.

Consider the Villa Estate.
If your trip includes three generations of family members or a group of families, consider a private stay at the Villa Estate. It’s designed for big groups, and comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests. It includes home-style breakfasts, lunch & dinner at the Villa.
Accommodations for Every Family Size
Our Beachfront Casitas provide the ideal blend of comfort and style for a family of four. If you’re traveling with older kids or a family of five, consider booking two Casitas side by side for extra space and privacy, ensuring everyone has room to relax and unwind.
Kids love Playa Palenque Beach.
Our largest beach, Playa Palenque, is the #1 choice for kids. They can run and play for 1.3 km in a safe, protected, crescent-shaped beach with gentle waters and soft sand
Older Children & Teens.
Teenagers like a fun challenge, so we take them snorkelling, fishing, coastal rock climbing, or hiking to “The Blowhole.” We also have a 5 km Fitness Circuit for the ultimate challenge!
