Europe for families

Ikos Resorts’ first all-inclusive foray outside of Greece takes on the Iberian Peninsula, where everything from Michelin-starred creations, beachfront tipples and picky-eater’s-plates, to signature treatments by Anne Sémonin Paris and copious family distractions can all be included.

Evolving from an abandoned finca to a royalty-welcoming guest house, this long-established property – once Prince Alfonso’s private residence – flows with old-school charm.

Not just a pretty face, this eco-conscious and socially committed property encourages its guests to get to grips with the area’s rich treasures, both natural and cultural.

A place for the social butterflies to spread their wings, W Hotel’s first Grecian outpost is a cocktail of style and swagger with lashings of youthful charm. 

Making its mark pairing rustic tradition with experimental modern design, this hillside village resort boasts panoramic views across the Mediterranean and luxuriously languid villa living.

This is a place you’ll find both natural rugged beauty, and inner balance. Taking outdoor living up a notch, this calming hillside retreat gifts families with renewed breathing space.

The Algarve in its purest form is found at this full-on destination-resort, that has everything from golf programmes to fantastic family facilities... oh and impeccable Michelin-starred dining.

Forte Village lies in extensive lush gardens by a beautiful stretch of sandy Sardinian coastline.

Reclining on 570 acres of beachfront miles away from the overpopulated suntraps, Rocco Forte’s first venture into building its own hotels is a crowd-pleasing, private affair.

Tended to by local virtuosos all willing to share their crafts, this 18th century farmhouse thrives in quiet equilibrium with nature for a stripped-back and soothing retreat.

A Sardinian daydream wrapped in the rugged nature of its north coast home; local-living is the heart and soul of this sprawling village-like resort. 

A sense of special occasion pervades this exceptional property on the banks of the Tiber, just minutes from St Peter’s Square.
