On the Beach

Kids love to have fun, and where better to do that than at the beach where they can play to their hearts content? With plenty of offers on family activity holidays, a beachside retreat is perfectly achievable, giving you and your brood access to golden sands, azure waters, watersports and plenty of fun-filled days in the sun. Kids clubs are also available, ensuring that your children are being entertained whilst you sit back with your latest read and an ice cold glass of your favourite tipple. Bliss.

In the Mountains

If an action packed vacation is what you’re after, there are plenty of resorts in the mountains that are child-friendly. From kids ski schools to nursery slopes, your brood will feel right at home on the piste. If there’s a large group of you, opt for one of the catered ski chalets to limit how much you need to try and fit in one day, and concentrate instead on the fun-filled aspects of this incredible vacation.

Recommended destinations include Andorra and Geilo.

By the Lake

If you have reared a water baby, what better place to take them for a few days than a lakeside retreat offering plenty of water-based activity. From learning to sail to kayaking, you and your children can have an awesome time on the water, whilst also having the beautiful surrounding scenery to explore too.
