Best Family Resort Stays in Avilés
A family stay in Avilés leans on space and practical extras more than a single resort complex: family rooms and a fitness centre at Oca Villa de Avilés Hotel, a full two-bedroom house at La Casita de El Montan Baja, a dietary-friendly restaurant at Hotel El Balcón. The old town's Plaza de España and harbour stay within reach for sightseeing, but the properties built for families sit slightly outside the tightest historic streets, trading a little walkability for room to spread out, private parking and, in several cases, a garden or terrace.

Room to Roam Near the Old Town
The family-resort theme is anchored by Oca Villa de Avilés Hotel, with dedicated family rooms, a fitness centre and a golf course within 3 km, all beside Las Meanas park and a two-minute walk from the historic centre. Hotel Villalegre, a little further at 1.6 km out, adds quiet, soundproofed rooms and proximity to the Embalse de Trasona reservoir, useful for a family day outdoors away from old-town crowds. Both give children more room to spread out than a standard old-town hotel room allows, without losing easy access to Plaza de España.
For families wanting real self-catering space, SUITE 1907 AVILES and La Casita de El Montan Baja both offer kitchenettes, with the latter adding two full bedrooms, a washing machine and a barbecue terrace, practical extras for a longer trip with children. Both sit a short distance from the Teatro Armando Palacio Valdés, close enough for an easy outing when everyone's ready to leave the garden, and neither requires eating out for every single meal of the stay, a real saving over a week-long trip with children in tow and hungry appetites to match.
Hotel el Horreo de Avilés and Hotel El Balcón round out the family theme with private-bathroom family rooms and, at El Balcón, a restaurant covering vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free diets, a genuine help for families managing food restrictions. Both sit within a few kilometres of the Ruinas del Monasterio de Santa María, making a history-focused day trip straightforward from either base, with free or on-site parking removing one of the bigger old-town hassles that families with a car usually run into during a longer stay in this part of northern Spain.
Across all six properties, the pattern holds: family-friendly hotels in Avilés trade a little old-town proximity for space, parking and amenities built for longer stays with children, from a fitness centre and golf course to a barbecue terrace and a dietary-flexible restaurant. Pairing one of these bases with a day in the old town, and an afternoon at Salinas beach, covers most of what a family trip to this part of Asturias needs, without a long drive between any of the pieces or a packed itinerary that leaves no room to rest.
Avilés balances its compact, tourist-friendly old town with quieter residential edges, Las Meanas park, the streets around Calle Galiana, the area near the Monasterio de Santa María ruins, all a short distance from Plaza de España. That layout suits families well: a base slightly outside the historic centre usually means more space, parking and a garden, while the old town's cafés, harbour and cultural centre stay close enough for an easy day out on foot or a short drive.
