At last, a Hawaiian vacation that incorporates the kids. Meet Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa on Oahu, where bassinets and baby-proofed balconies are standard. There's a complimentary kids’ club and volcano-themed pool area with a lazy river. And that luau? You’ll be joined by Mickey and friends.

T+L readers found Aulani’s combination of Hawaiian cultural touches, kid-friendly activities, and a spectacular beach setting to be pretty magical, ranking it America’s No. 1 hotel for families in our annual World’s Best Awards survey. Overall, the top 25 hotels range from coast to coast, mountaintops to valleys, each offering plush, spacious accommodations and fun for both kids and grown-ups.

Related: The Best All-Inclusive Family Resorts

A day at the Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa in Austin, TX, might begin with horseback rides and end with s’mores by the campfire—or Moonshine Margaritas at Shellers Barrelhouse Bar. In West Virginia, the Greenbrier hosts an indoor arena for games of laser tag on its historic 10,000-acre property. And just down the road from Epcot, Disney’s Boardwalk Inn and Villas features a strip of old-fashioned arcade games and a Fantasia-inspired miniature golf course.

Many kid-friendly resorts take pride in pampering families, from creative activities at kids’ clubs to available baby products to spa treatments cateringto all ages. The staff at Virginia’s Tides Inn, for instance, offers marine-inspired full-body scrubs as well as bedtime servings of homemade cookies and milk.

This year’s crop of top-ranking family hotels is further proof that luxury and multi-acre water parks can seamlessly coexist. Book a room or suite at one of these 25 properties, and you just might make it a new family tradition.

On Oahu’s western shore, the beachfront Aulani embraces Hawaiian tradition while making it easy for families to feel at home—from the bassinets and baby-proofed balconies that come with most rooms to the complimentary kids’ club. Guests can explore the private snorkeling lagoon, relax in the infinity-edge grotto, or tube through the caverns on the lazy river.

Parents Love: Private, naturalist-guided hikes through Manoa Valley’s bamboo forest to a majestic 200-foot waterfall.

Keep an eye out for zebras, giraffes, and gazelles on the 43-acre wildlife preserve of the Animal Kingdom Lodge. You can spy wildlife from your own private balcony, or from an open flatbed truck during the three-hour signature safari experience. African influences turn up everywhere from the grand lobby with its thatched ceiling to the upscale restaurant Jiko, which serves piri-piri chicken and South African wines. Make a reservation for two and drop the kids at Simba’s Clubhouse.

Parents Love: A sunrise wildlife excursion, followed by a private breakfast buffet at Pizzafari.

Kids Love: The 67-foot waterslide at the savanna-facing, zero-depth-entry Uzima Pool.

Credit: Kiawah Island Golf Resort

From the oak-lined-avenue entrance to the fictional family portraits, everything about this beachfront resort feels like an authentic antebellum mansion. It also has a comprehensive kids’ program, with everything from glassmaking and tie-dyeing to guided nature hikes, fly-fishing lessons, and archery. You can rent beach cruisers from the Bike Pavilion or head farther afield to soak up Charleston’s history.

Parents Love: Cocktails at the Ryder Cup Bar after a round on the seaside Ocean Course, the site of the 2012 PGA Championships.

No. 4 Cloister at Sea Island, GA

The resort’s luxurious English manor–style suites come with a kitchen, a fireplace, and a balcony. Still, the kids will get antsy sooner or later, and when they do, there are plenty of opportunities for adventure on this Georgia barrier island. Try open sea kayaking, beach horseback riding, or skeet shooting. Indoor activities come courtesy of the children’s center and the movie theater.

Parents Love: Sunset cruises around the island aboard the Cloister Belle, a restored vintage yacht.

Kids Love: Learning how to bait hooks and cast rods on a fishing trip to the salt marsh.

Let the kids loose at this Atlantic Coast resort’s 91,000-square-foot water park, complete with a lazy river, water flume, and multilevel pool complex—all while you relax on the stretch of pristine pink shell beach. Another perk: the convenience of staying in a two- or three-bedroom unit with a full kitchen.

Parents Love: Hitting the links at one of the resort’s two golf courses, designed by legends Jack Nicklaus and Tom Watson.

Kids Love: The s’mores kits and hot chocolate served with a personal fire pit rental on the lawn.

Baby-proofed rooms with ocean views, a lounge for teens, and a dreamy location between white sand and lush rainforest are a few of the reasons to book your next family getaway at this five-star resort. See if you can spot a humpback whale from the wave-protected ocean pool or one of 10 seats at the ‘ULU Sushi Lounge.

Parents Love: Private chartered helicopter rides over an active volcano, followed by a picnic lunch in the valley.

Kids Love: Feeding the spotted eagle rays at King’s Pond, a snorkeling aquarium carved from lava rock.

Outdoorsy types who don’t mind a bit of pampering will love this farmhouse-style resort on the lower Colorado River outside of Austin.

Horseback riding, skeet shooting, and hayrides put a decidedly Texas spin on your vacation.

Parents Love: Moonshine margaritas and live blues performances at Shellers Barrelhouse Bar.

Kids Love: The resort mascots—Percheron draft horses, Texas longhorns, alpacas, miniature donkeys, and miniature horses—that roam the grounds and greet guests.Vote for your favorite hotels in the World's Best survey >>

No. 10 Disney’s Yacht Club Resort, Lake Buena Vista, FL

You guessed it: the theme at this Florida resort is nautical, from the brass fittings to the hardwood floors to the steak-and-seafood restaurant’s portholes. After a day of splashing around Stormalong Bay, the on-site three-acre water park, families can stroll along Orlando’s Crescent Lake to the lighthouse nearby.

Parents Love: Renting a 10-seat pontoon boat from Bayside Marina to navigate through the resort waterways—no experience necessary.

Families who stay here get easy access to the theme parks. Ferries travel from the lakefront marina to the front gate of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and it’s a few minutes’ walk to the Epcot side entrance. The New England–style resort is more casual than the neighboring Yacht Club. It shares access to the Stormalong Bay water park, the Fantasia-inspired miniature golf course, and the pirate adventure cruises.

Parents Love: Wrangling bass on a guided fishing excursion.

Kids Love: Sundaes from the boardwalk-style ice cream parlor, Beaches & Cream Soda Shop.

This Florida resort embraces the Pacific Northwestern wilderness with its twisting network of pine tree–studded nature trails, rocking chairs, and cozy hearths. Of course, a rustic lodge look-alike wouldn’t be complete without a marshmallow roast around a crackling campfire.

Parents Love: Renting a 12-footer at the marina to sail around Bay Lake.

Kids Love: The waterslide carved from rock in the property’s heated pool.

The spacious suites at this boutique resort have the added appeal of unobstructed, sweeping water views.

New fully automated snowmaking machines on Spruce Peak—visible from the floor-to-ceiling windows in some of the ski-in,ski-out resort’s cabins—all but guarantee fresh powder. And you get to warm up by a gas fireplace in your room afterward. While the mountain town of Stowe is a great place to embrace winter (the plaza becomes an ice-skating rink), it has its charms whatever the season.

Parents Love: The after-dark snowshoe tour through the Spruce Loop, followed by dinner in a yurt.

Kids Love: The Mini Me Facial and Massage offered at the Chillax KidSpa Lounge, complete with aromatherapy and cucumber slices.

LEED-certified Hotel Terra blends luxury and sustainability, with fair-trade organic cotton robes, reclaimed-wood tables, and discreet in-room recycling bins. It’s easy to feel pampered when your room comes with floor-to-ceiling windows, rain showers, and heated bathroom floors. The hotel comes across first and foremost as an appealing couples’ retreat, but T+L readers vouched for its family credentials, too. Consider that you can book a suite with a full kitchen and that you’re within a mile from Grand Teton National Park and ski-in distance from Jackson Hole Mountain.

No. 23 The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, WV

Credit: Courtesy of The Greenbrier

More than 200 years ago, travelers began using the Greenbrier as a home base while taking in the healing waters of White Sulphur Springs (used in spa treatments today). Interior designer Dorothy Draper, known for her sophisticated florals, put her mark on the 10,000-acre historic resort in 2011. Now families are more likely to turn up for the carriage rides, falconry, ice-skating, and sheer beauty of this remote valley in the Allegheny Mountains.

Parents Love: Bunker tours of the declassified Cold War fallout shelter.

Kids Love: Games of laser tag at The Greenbrier’s expansive indoor arena.

Grand is the operative word at this luxury beach resort, where the art collection includes 17 sculptures by Fernand Léger, the spa is Hawaii’s largest, and the lazy-river pool stretches for 2,000 feet.

Parents Love: The Terme Hydrotherapy Circuit, a meld of water therapies that use a Roman tub, saunas, and Swiss jet showers (to name a few).
