ATOL/ABTA protected, 24/7 support
Some parents crave time on the beach while their children make new friends over kid-only cooking classes and in football academies, whilst others search out adventure to complement the school curriculum or want to introduce them to new cultures through meeting local people.
For active families, the common denominator is the chance to move, whether water skiing, diving, snorkelling, hiking or biking. Although often, we’ve found families want a little bit of everything to maximise their time away.
Relax. It’s all possible.

Travelling with tweens this summer
All inclusive
All-inclusive hotels have upped their game. Forget meagre buffets and disappointing entertainment – today’s new tranche of all-inclusive hotels are seriously premium and give you that relaxing feeling of freedom when you arrive.
Pressure's off
These all inclusive hotels really push the boat out with their choice of accommodation, whether you're all sharing the same space or you (and they) might need space of your own. An all-inclusive arrangement can work well for teens as it allows them to roam around a resort independently without racking up your tab! For dining, there's menus for even the fussiest eaters and it's not so much about what there is to do to fill your time, it's whether you'll have the time to fit it all in and best of all? Budget-wise - it's all taken care of.
Fantastical Florida
The family destination that's on everyone's wishlist
Florida
If your kids have been raised on a diet of Disney animation and superhero films and you ask them their dream holiday destinations, there's a very good chance Orlando will get a mention. We're all about the parks, but take time to break out of the theme park bubble and see more of the The Sunshine State.
USA
Journeys of Discovery
Whether you want to bring school lessons to life or show them something new that the curriculum doesn't cover, family holidays can be the perfect opportunity to broaden their minds in the most fun way possible.
Trips they'll never forget
These are the holidays full of thrilling and memorable experiences from start to finish, where kids are able to immerse themselves in culture, explore fascinating ruins and lively cities, watch wildlife in its natural habitat and seeing the world in ways that go far beyond anything they’ll see on a tv documentary. And they’ll experience it all, with you.
Half term hangouts
These close-to-home holidays are ideal for shorter half-term breaks but still offer plenty of things to see and do that will spark your children’s wanderlust and sense of adventure.
Closer to home holidays

Ever-popular Mallorca is accessible from almost any airport in the UK and it only takes around two hours. Lake Garda's famed for its lake life where holidays are high up on the active scale.

How to plan a Maldives trip with kids and family
Ready to turn the Maldives into your families tropical playground? Here's everything you need to know.
Greece
Imagine the salty skin and windswept hair that sailing from one Greek island to another brings. There’s the taste of Ouzo and Muscat wine, the delight of trying Souvlaki for the first or umpteenth time and a postcard-perfect mix of pastel villages, archaeological sites, horseshoe harbours and pocket-sized fishing villages. Charming islands peppered with traditional tavernas, iconic hot spots filled with show-stopping hotels and mainland stays in acres of beachfront luxury are all staples of a Greece holiday. There are uninhabited corners where you can spend a sun-soaked afternoon waiting for catch-of-the-day to be served and deep beneath the sea you may be lucky enough to spot a monk seal or two. We love holidays to Greece for the easy pace of island life, while mainland Greece is a worthy beauty contender with its treasure trove of Byzantine history and miles of soft sand and island-style vibes around the coastland of Halkidiki. Our Personal Travel Experts know Greece really well. If you want to find out more about any of the islands or a trip to the mainland, get in touch and we’ll tailor make your perfect holiday.
Turkey
A mesmerising country where adventures start in winding streets and souks and end on golden shores. Turkey (also known as Turkiye) holidays are sultry afternoons wandering through souks with senses heightened. They’re hearing the calls to prayer as you wander in ancient footsteps through atmospheric old towns. They’re waking before the world to see balloons drift across surrealist backdrops. But they’re also sun-seeking, sun-soaking and messing about in the shallows with everything taken care for you and your crew. We can take you to two-continent, two-sea city of Istanbul where you can barely move for iconic and historic sights and every meal is a culinary masterpiece that showcases its spot at a cultural crossroads. Then there’s Cappadocia, a magical world of fairy towers sculpted by the elements and shaped by human hands, and Izmir, a modern Mediterranean city and gateway to the ancient city of Ephesus. The coast, from Aegean Sea-adjacent Bodrum all the way round to Antalya and beyond via the hidden coves and maritime towns of Dalaman, is a playground for family holidays, just-us retreats or wellness-focused weeks. Our Personal Travel Experts can help create your perfect Turkey trip, from two- or three-stop journeys or a simple all-in beach holiday to the country’s glorious seashore.
Maldives
Here’s to barefoot bike riding, dunking in the ocean and snorkelling with dolphins. To mermaids in the making, rum and romance on deserted islands and gobsmackingly good jaunts with junior generations. The Maldives. One holiday. A million feelings. How to holiday in the Maldives The Maldives is the great escape - smack-dab in the middle of the Indian Ocean and the fancy holiday on everyone’s wish list. Deciding to go is one thing, but choosing where to stay is quite another. Of 1192 islands spanning 26 atolls, over 150 are private island resorts you can stay on. Some are big in size and softer on the pocket ( Kuramathi ), others small and swish ( Milaidhoo ). There are islands as romantic as Venice ( Kandolhu ) and ones that know the adventure doesn’t end when parenthood begins ( ananea Madivaru ). It’s easy to go down a rabbit hole of resort research and get decision fatigue, plus the pressure to get everything beyond right feels even greater if it’s your once-in-a-lifetime holiday. Our advice? Work out what you really really want. A romantic resort where time stands still or a resort made for guests who hate to sit still? An outer edge atoll where snorkelling to witness the kaleidoscopic colours of tropical fish is on the agenda or an island designed for flipper-kicking family fun? Strip away the fluff, focus on the essential elements and we'll nail down your choice. Or take the complexity away entirely by choosing an island at the intersection of simplicity and luxury (Baros and Kurumba never fail to thrill). High quality. Timeless. Easy. Still can't pin down ‘the one’? Then the trick is a twin island holiday. We can tell you which islands you can easily pair - this is a great idea for first-time visitors who want a zingy itinerary and returning guests sticking to their fave resort but wanting to see something new too. Is the Maldives good to travel to with kids? A new generation of page-turning hotels are making tiny sun-kissed noses and beach-bound toes part of the party from the get-go. There are plenty picking up rave reviews - Dhigali’s sea yoga and water balloon volleyball for starters and Niyama’s sandy cinema nights and snorkelling safaris for tweens and teens. These are the islands excelling at memory making for everyone. And as parents ourselves, we know all to well that not every child loves a kids club. Whatever your family make-up, from babies and blended to mutli-gen and a mix of ages - we'll match you to the island that suits you best. Namast’ay in bed Overwater villas in the Maldives are the storybook fantasy escape. Big on privacy and romance. The experience? Breakfast with baby sharks beneath your feet. Open-air bathtub soaks under an island sky. Instant access to the Indian Ocean from the private ladder on your deck. And beach villas? They’re made for cool, castaway vibes, along with a bit more affordability. Great for honeymoon moments and spacious enough for all the chaos and cuddles of family life (check out the duplex ones). Can’t decide? Experience both worlds. We’re dab hands at sorting a room switch mid-way through your Maldives holiday so you get the best of both. And if poolside is your best side? Lots of islands have overwater and beach villas with private pools. Great if you want to swim without sand in your towel or fish at your feet. Private pool villas tend to be a higher price point but are a dream for families with young kids (no worries about temp, noise or depth) and a special kind of magic for honeymooners (flamingo inflatables and sunset dips). At Coco Bodu Hithi you don't even have to choose; all villas have private pools. Do not disturb - we’re on honeymoon The most drop-dead gorgeous resorts in the world have dropped anchor in the Maldives, making it a dreamscape for salty haired honeymooners. Where to begin when planning your Maldives honeymoon? The setting does the talking. For the earthy couple looking for marooned moments and bare bones beauty there’s the simple luxury of Diamonds Thudufushi and Makunudu Island. The bigger resorts of Kuramathi and Emerald Maldives are good for energetic newlyweds who have eyes on epic escapades. Couples as cool as Vogue will find classic luxury at Outrigger Maafushivaru Halaveli and Coco Bodu Hithi whilst the soulmates who prioritise sorbet summer outfits, taking selfies and taking time to themselves will find their luxury at LUX* South Ari Atoll and Finolhu . Perch in an overwater villa and disappear for days or become two lively lovebugs trying everything from sunset snorkelling and scuba diving to sandy cinema nights for two. We’ve got honeymoon happiness covered. Seaing is believing - snorkelling and diving Whatever your style and pace in the water - Tom Daley, Nemo or Dory - you’ll leave these islands smitten. Many have their own house reef, a beautiful coral garden right on the shore ( Sandies Bathala deserves special mention). No scheduled snorkelling trip is required: just paddle straight out into glass-clear waters for a world of wild fish below the surface. It’s not uncommon for islands to have the double whammy - a house reef and a lagoon - which means overwater villas and easy snorkelling and sailing. You can and should go beyond the house reef. Diving in the Maldives is a dream. 500 miles of Indian Ocean that the blue planet uses as their giant motorway. Marine centres are attached to most resorts so whether you’re learning the ropes (hello sandy shallows) or a wizard under the water (hello drift dives), you’re in expert hands. Come for night diving and nudibranchs. Tuna, turtles and tropical fish. Dolphins, rays and reef sharks. The best season? December to April offers the clearest visibility. May to November is when the manta rays come out and days are more humid. Our view? There really isn't a bad time to visit. Food for thought Full board or all inclusive? Full board is a great one if you want to be economical, don’t drink alcohol (or don’t drink much of it) and don’t mind eating breakfast, lunch and dinner at a designated restaurant (usually the good food good vibes buffet). But if food is your focus you’ll get a lot more with the all inclusive packages. The one that tickles guests pink the most is the all inclusive extra option (look out for those marked Select, Gourmet and Full Dine Around). These are the whole kit and caboodle. Nearly everything you need, if not everything, is included. Popsicles, pizza, piña coladas and à la carte restaurants. Bubbles at breakfast, bottled water and daiquiris with dinner. If you’re on holiday for connections, conversations and collective experiences, it’s this all inclusive that you want. Depending on the island you choose there will be overwater dining domes above coral reef, tiki torch-lit thatched cabanas along the shore and the kind of charming restaurants you have to catch a speedboat to. Further inclusions such as ice cream parlours, pizzerias, snack bars (great for families with kids who are constantly hungry), access to fitness classes, snorkelling tours and paddle boarding trips prove great value. Isn't it always sunny in the Maldives? You’re right by the equator in the hot and humid tropics (a 99% chance you’ll get frizzy hair and need a cooling mist) and the weather can be as unpredictable as anywhere, even the dry season (November to April) - super sunny and gleaming like gold and diamonds - isn’t immune to a bolt from the blue. But tropical showers are usually liquid sunshine: short, sweet and a breath of fresh air. And there’s still stacks of stuff to do. Off-peak has advantages: holidays are less spenny, surfing is better, and it’s the season of manta rays, whale sharks and bioluminescence. Saving pennies or splashing out For some, booking a trip to the Maldives is a once-in-a-lifetime experience they've saved hard for; for others, it's the once-in-a-lifetime experience they're splurging on. Whether saving pennies or splashing out, you’ll get your Tom Hanks ‘Castaway’ moments (albeit with a key to a swish villa and torches lighting the way to beachfront restaurants). There are resorts that come with a ‘big on value’ tag - Kurumba and Kurumathi make the Maldives accessible without sacrificing style and luxury and there are those that come with all the bells and whistles, such as private boats and butlers (Gili Lankanfushi) or low-key beauty and bottles of Champagne (Milaidhoo). But luxury is subjective. It might be that you don’t care for bars and spas instead favouring a remote island free from frills, or it might be mimosas, massages and marine activities all the way. It could be the luxury of peace (or the luxury of time spent with the kids) or perhaps that overwater villa where your daybed almost dips into your private pool and your pool almost slides into the blue lagoon. Regardless of what luxury means to you, we'll find it. Getting there Fly direct with British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, depending on the time of year. Fly via Dubai / Qatar on a transit (no need to collect your bags before switching planes). Stop off en route for even more adventures and flavours - Burj and Bedouin in the Middle East, jungle and Jaipur in India and Singapore’s Sentosa island for starters. The transfer to your island is by seaplane or speedboat. The options sometimes depend on the distance to your resort and sometimes on your arrival time (only speedboats run in the evenings) The pros of a seaplane? Sky high views and a sensational experience. And what a way to arrive. Seeing those tiny specs of islands and water shades of blue that are oh-so-much brighter than the brochures - it's simply breathtaking. The cons? More expensive than a speedboat and not going to be a favourite if you’re not comfortable in small planes. Speedboat arrivals? More frequent departure times and a quicker transfer if your resort is closer to the mainland. If indecision’s got you, do both (speedboat one way, sea plane the other). As long as it’s an option at your chosen resort, go for it. Maldives plus - twin centre holiday ideas Enjoy the Maldives plus another destination all in one go for a holiday that goes beyond the ordinary. Sri Lanka and the Maldives Tick off lost civilisations, Ceylon tea and safaris in Sri Lanka. Check off blue health, blue lagoons and blue-faced angelfish in the Maldives. Both destinations are beauts and with only a one and a half hour flight between them it would be criminal not to see them both. As you'll tour, hike and explore Sri Lanka, the Maldives make the perfect finale - swimming, snorkelling, and anesthetised by the peace and quiet of the ocean. Indian Ocean island pairings The speed boating, toes-in-the-sand, hit the water, slow the pace crowd know how to have a summer of fun in the sparkling shallows of the Indian Ocean’s finest islands. We pair the Maldives with Mauritius or Seychelles for waterfall chasing, forest hiking, meeting giant tortoises and swimming with turtles happy holidays. Make it a low-key ‘do nothing’ trip or mooch around on island time scheduling in a few well placed adventures.
Mauritius
For a relatively pint-sized tropical island hidden away in the southern Indian Ocean, Mauritius packs a whole lot in. Travellers first come here for the picture-postcard coastline, but scratch below the surface and you’ll discover what draws visitors back time and again. Mauritius holidays can be lazy days on the beach, but they can also be marine adventures and island explorations. The island’s diverse yet relatively short history has created a remarkably varied culture; quite something for a country that is just a bit smaller than the county of Devon. The descendants of European, African, Indian and Chinese immigrants make up the majority of the population and each group has made their mark on the island. Where else can you take Creole language courses, visit beautiful Hindu temples and grand sugar plantation houses, and dine on cuisine inspired by a melting pot of culinary traditions? Talk to us and we’ll help create a Mauritius holiday to suit your style.
