Our curated collection of holidays

We see the world as a cornucopia of possibilities, because after all, everyone’s definition of a holiday is different. Especially when there’s tots, tweens and teens in tow.

It’s as though Mother Nature couldn’t decide which environs she loved most. Wildlife, winelands and desert – yes – the image conjured with those three words is surely one of Africa. While this trio are what put the region on the map for adventurous twosomes, families certainly aren’t left out of this brilliant and diverse continent.

Searing Martian deserts and visionary futuristic cities, all with an underlying pulse of Arab tradition. You’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else that brings the same level of exquisitely clashing and boredom-busting landscapes straight out of a sci-fi novel than cutting-edge Arabia.

With so much to pack, the threat of baby jetlag, and plane journeys that can eat up two days in one, longer trips are often sacrificed in favour of short-haul neighbours. But when it comes to the likes of Asia, distance really does make the heart grow fonder.

It’s all idyllic landscapes, take-it-easy vibes and tales of buried pirate treasure in the Caribbean… at least, that’s what the newbies think. But those in the know, they see that not all of these islands are cut from the same cloth.

Europe is timeless. From the still vivid paintings of Knossos Palace’s walls all the way to Marrakech’s spirited Medina, it’s the continent’s history and that of its neighbouring countries of the Maghreb that fascinate and draw in. 

Splashing around in expanses of glittery bath-warm water and being surrounded by A-grade sandcastle mortar. That sounds like childhood holiday ideals – that sounds like the Indian Ocean.

There’s no sitting still in North America. In fact, it could turn the most docile of dynasties into get-up-and-goers. Yet depending on where you end up, there’s a different definition of high-octane – particularly in the trifecta of California, Canada and Florida.

The swell of pride watching your rosy-cheeked little one glide down the nursery slopes, the stunned joy as they open the door to a festive elf, the playful arguments over who gets the last dip of fondu. Everyone’s definition of a winter holiday is different, but it can’t be denied, there’s nothing quite like filling lungs with crisp air while the sun turns the ground to tinsel.

There’s no juggling multiple itineraries, bookings, or modes of transport – your floating family holiday takes you effortlessly from one exciting port to the next. Gone are the days of formalities; today’s cruises focus on meaningful, slow travel, offering personalised journeys around the globe.

Going on holiday with your family is the perfect opportunity to relax and spend quality time together. So why not experience a luxury getaway where everything is completely taken care of? Our curated selection of hotels and resorts that offer all-inclusive holidays will allow you to truly unwind and make the most of your family adventure.

We know the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your family has the space, privacy and security of interconnecting, interleading or adjoining rooms. Many of our luxury hotels and resorts offer these options throughout the year and there are also often exceptional savings to take advantage of on second rooms for children. 

From the best interconnecting rooms to entire villas and chalets, we've handpicked the finest luxury rooms, suites and villas for you and your family with space, location and benefits in mind.

Navigating the cruise scene is no mean feat, so let’s start by getting to know our on-the-water favourites.

A collection of our most beloved destinations and their loveliest lodgings that introduce visitors to a world outside of their own. Dedicated to the places that feed our travel curiosity, the adventures that lie beyond the gateway of a new country, and to the local people who welcome us as one of their own and make it all possible.

It’s as though Mother Nature couldn’t decide which environs she loved most. A land of colour and contrasts. Deep red skies, dazzling white sands and clear blue waters; chic cities and thrilling safari encounters – Africa stirs the senses and the soul.  

You'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else on Earth that brings the same level of exquisitely clashing landscapes straight out of a sci-fi novel than cutting-edge Arabia. Past where the Arabian Sea becomes the wider ocean, expanses of glittery bath-warm waters surround the comforting soft sands of the Maldives and the Seychelles.

A voyage to this far-flung corner of the world is nothing short of surprising at every turn. Aboriginal to avant-garde and desert to untouched reefs; Australia is a land full of contrast. Where Australia’s land is scarlet, New Zealand’s is undeniably verdant. Two islands soulfully connected by the land and its people and an abundance of rugged, natural beauty.

For a small continent, Europe certainly packs a punch. Infinite in its appeal, it’s the history rooted so deeply within the celebrated cities, sun-soaked coasts and bucolic countrysides that makes Europe utterly timeless.

A medley of thrill-seeking moments from land, air and sea. There’s no sitting still in North America; in fact, it could turn the most docile of travellers into get-up-and-goers. You’d be forgiven for thinking the excitement subsides over on the Caribbean Islands, but it’s not all idyllic landscapes, lashings of rum, take-it-easy vibes and tales of buried pirate treasure. 

Navigating the cruise scene is no mean feat; from the well-established luxuries of an ocean-going ship or private yacht to the niche explorations of expedition and river voyages, cruises take on many forms.

There’s something about the luxury lifestyle that naturally leans towards slow travel. In a world that tends to air on the side of efficiency, there’s a slight hint of rebellion hidden along the scenic route.

For the serious slope-skimmers, dedicated après-skiers, and the winter wonderland wanderers in-between.

Whether it be a traditional log cabin aesthetic or a sleek modern take on alpine homes, luxe lodge and private chalet living spells freedom of the most intimate and luxurious kind.

Enjoy the ultimate in ski convenience by having the best runs on your doorstep in our selection of the best ski-in, ski-out hotels. Whether its straight out onto the slopes or a quick slide away, the enviable locations piste-side mean the breathtaking snow-covered surroundings are right there whenever they take your fancy.

Challenging black runs, exhilarating off-piste terrain, spending the day searching for untouched powder with the chance to create virgin tracks; these are the preserve of the expert skier.

Zipping through the pristine wilderness of the Rockies or Alps is freedom enough, but add the plunge from a helicopter onto remote, untouched champagne powder into the mix, and liberation is taken to another plain.

Sometimes nothing quite beats the sound of silence; whether it be for the nervous newbies or seasoned pros who want to get away from the crowds, nobody can say the quiet ones aren’t fun.  

Dedicated nursery slopes, a wide array of green and blue runs and, of course, excellent ski schools are a must for your first ski holiday.

Excellent ski schools and kids' clubs combined with dedicated nursery slopes and children's zones on the piste allow parents to explore the surrounding area themselves in the knowledge that the young ones are being well-cared for on the snow.

Cruising blues and a wide variety of more challenging red runs are the Intermediate skiers’ idyll. Combine these with a seamless lift system and groups of mixed abilities can ski at their level and still meet on the mountain for lunch.
