Best child-friendly ways to experience luxury on holiday 

Having children doesn’t mean you should have to compromise on luxury while on holiday. Enjoying a luxury family holiday is the perfect way to create lasting memories with your loved ones.

Choosing the right accommodation 

Having the right accommodation is key to a comfortable family holiday. It’s important to have enough space to spread out and recharge after a busy day together. 

Make sure your accommodation caters to your every need. You might need cots, high chairs, or baby gates to make your stay more comfortable. If you’re a new parent, you’ll know how important this is.

Many luxury hotels and private accommodation options have family-friendly rooms and child-friendly activities, from toys to a pool. While it’s important to choose somewhere that the kids will love, make sure it meets the adults’ preferences too. 

Activities for all ages 

Having a flexible itinerary while on holiday is key. This is why many families choose travel companies with bespoke itineraries that are tailored to their preferences. You might have little ones and elderly relatives to consider, and these needs can be met with the right support. 

If you choose a luxury trip, you can immerse yourselves in once-in-a-lifetime activities. This might involve private cooking classes in Thailand, guided nature walks in Costa Rica, safaris in Kenya, and more. If your kids love adrenaline-fuelled activities, they can have a go at water sports, which are made all the more enjoyable when done in a beautiful setting. Look out for excursions with family-friendly aspects, perhaps involving educational experiences to keep the tiny tots stimulated. 

Dining with a difference 

A huge benefit of travelling somewhere more exotic is being able to indulge in a wide array of food. When staying at luxurious catered hotels or going out to fine dining restaurants, you’ll have the luxury of choosing from extensive menus with local delicacies. Just be sure to pick somewhere that will cater to your children’s tastes. 

It’s also worth considering restaurants with flexible dining times, as this means you won’t need to worry about staying up late and dealing with overtired tots.  

Depending on where you travel, you may be able to book unique dining experiences, such as private dinners or picnics on the beach. 

Incorporating relaxation and wellness 

A family holiday is all about balance. Of course, you want to make it a special trip for the children; however, it’s also important to incorporate rest—both for yourselves and for them. 

You might want to leave the children with a family member or onsite childcare so you can treat yourself to a spa treatment. Or you might simply want to go for a walk or use the onsite fitness facilities. The right accommodation or resorts will cater to both adults and children.
