Travel conditions update: Some Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean markets are under active operational review because regional security and airspace conditions are changing rapidly. Country publication timing may change. IKFT recognitions assess family suitability, not destination security. Last updated: 12 April 2026
Directory is the official registry for IKFT status
Registry status: Current / Under Review / Expired (when applicable).
How to read a listing:
IKFT Recognized (Bronze/ Silver/ Gold/ Platinum), the public recognition level within the hotel’s star category.
Each listing will display: IKFT Travel Mode Tag (Splash & Play / Nature & Retreat / City & Discovery), the style of stay you can expect.
Quick reminder before you search: IKFT badges are assessed within each hotel's star category. A 3-star hotel is measured against 3-star standards, not 5-star expectations. Always consider the star category, Travel Tag, and badge level together when choosing. The badge is an independent guide — not a guarantee of your specific experience. Read our full guide
As the official IKFT registry, this directory is the primary reference for confirming a property's current International Kids Friendly Travel Recognized level. While hotels may display badges or summaries, always check here for the most current record. IKFT assessments may contain errors or outdated information. Always verify details on the hotel's own website or by contacting the property directly before booking.
A searchable reference for kid friendly travel is preparing for launch.
