For water fun, the resort has a dedicated shallow kids' pool and a separate area with multi-lane water slides for children and young teens. These are kept separate from the adult swim-up zone, so that both sides of the pool deck can relax in peace.

The main buffet has a dedicated kids' corner with lowered tables, child-height seating, and a rotating children's menu. High chairs are available in every restaurant. Baby cots are free on request. Stroller rentals and babysitting can be arranged through guest relations for an hourly fee. All in all, SUNRISE Arabian Beach Resort for families works well across a wide age range. 🎡
