As a single parent, you know the drill: juggling work, household duties, childcare, and making every decision solo. A holiday shouldn’t mean more organisational stress—it should finally deliver that much-needed break. We’re spotlighting five TUI BLUE Hotels perfectly tailored to the needs of solo mums or dads, featuring everything from short transfer times and swim-up rooms to sports programmes and wellness, whilst your child is brilliantly cared for.

Childcare at TUI BLUE – Professional and stress-free
When you’re travelling solo with a child, reliable, top-quality childcare is pure gold—and this is where TUI BLUE Hotels truly shine. The Kids Clubs are divided by age group (Baby Club 0-2 years, Kids Club 3-6 years, Junior/Teen Club from 7 years) and operate in several languages, including German and English. The staff are qualified, caring, creative, and genuinely enthusiastic, and many parents report that their children actually love going—unlike some other childcare offerings.
Particularly handy: you can register your child for the Kids Club easily via the BLUE App—no queuing at reception, no complicated forms. The app also helps you organise your entire stay stress-free: you can hire a buggy or baby equipment, book spa appointments, reserve restaurant tables, or sign up for fitness classes. As a solo parent, you’ll have everything under control and more time for what really matters—relaxation and quality moments with your child.
