Finnish Lapland
02 Finnish Lapland

Where Santa Claus actually lives

There is a particular hush that settles over children in Lapland, somewhere between the huskies, the snow and the very real possibility of meeting Santa himself. It is one of the few trips where the itinerary genuinely follows a child's sense of wonder: reindeer sleighs, snowmobiling for the older ones, an evening watching for the northern lights. Parents find their own magic in an Arctic sauna and a long, quiet dinner once the children are finally asleep. Stays lean towards glass-roofed cabins and Arctic lodges built for families.

Good to knowSanta season runs late November to early January. Sweet spot ages 3 to 10; daylight is short, so days are built around a few bright hours.

Maldives
03 Maldives

An island, entirely to yourselves

For children, the Maldives is an enormous, warm, shallow playground: snorkelling off the villa steps, a kids' club built around the water, and space to run without a single road in sight. For parents, the appeal is just as strong: an overwater villa with its own pool, a spa a short walk from the children's programme, and evenings that feel entirely adult once bedtime is done. Multigenerational groups increasingly take a cluster of villas or a full island buyout, so every generation gets its own wing.

Good to knowBest December to April. All ages work here; seaplane transfers in the dry season are worth arranging well ahead.

The Greek Islands
04 The Greek Islands

A villa big enough for everyone

Greece rewards a family that wants its own space rather than a resort's. A private pool, a short walk to a taverna the children can run to alone, and grandparents settled on a shaded terrace with a book: this is where three generations genuinely relax together rather than merely coexist. Older children take to the boat trips, the paddleboards and the freedom of island life, while younger ones are happy with a pool and gentle beaches. Quieter islands like Naxos, Paros and Crete suit a full villa takeover best.

Good to knowBest June and early September. July and August bring the fiercest heat and the heaviest demand for villas and ferries alike.

Tuscany & Amalfi, Italy
05 Tuscany & Amalfi, Italy

La dolce vita, the family version

Italy is one of the few places where every generation finds its own reason to love the trip. Children take happily to pasta-making mornings and gelato runs; teenagers find the coastal towns and boat trips genuinely interesting; grandparents get the art, the food and a terrace to sit on. A villa rather than a hotel tends to suit families best here: a private pool, a cook on hand, and enough bedrooms that nobody shares who does not want to. Tuscany runs slower; the Amalfi Coast adds sea, boats and livelier evenings.

Good to knowBest late April to June and September to October. In August, Italy itself goes on holiday and the coast is at its fullest.

Kenya & South Africa
06 Kenya & South Africa

The first lion sighting, together

A safari has a way of levelling a family: nobody is looking at a screen, everyone is watching the same herd cross the same river. Camps built for families put a private vehicle and a dedicated ranger at your disposal, so children can ask endless questions without disturbing anyone, while a junior rangers' programme keeps them engaged back at camp. For parents and grandparents, it is the same wildlife with genuine comfort: proper beds, good food, a pool after the afternoon drive. South Africa's malaria-free reserves matter with very young children.

Good to knowBest June to October, with Masai Mara river crossings July to October. Many camps set minimum ages of 6 to 8; South Africa offers malaria-free reserves.

Japan
07 Japan

A country built to delight children

Japan tends to surprise families who came for the temples and went home remembering the bullet trains. Children are fascinated by the trains themselves, the vending machines, the sheer orderliness of everything; teenagers respond to Tokyo's energy and Kyoto's contrast to it. Parents find a country that is remarkably easy to travel with children: safe, clean and quietly accommodating. A private guide smooths the language and the logistics, timing the crowds at the major sights and building in the downtime a trip like this needs.

Good to knowBest late March to early April for cherry blossom, or autumn for milder weather. The long flight makes this one harder with toddlers.

Costa Rica
08 Costa Rica

Wild mornings, easy evenings

Costa Rica turns the outdoors into the main event, which suits families who would rather be outside than not. Children tend to remember the details: a sloth spotted mid-canopy, a toucan overhead at breakfast, a river crossing on a swaying bridge. Parents get the wider view, cloud forest mornings, volcanic peaks in the distance, beaches on both coasts within a manageable drive of each other. Lodges here are built low and open to the landscape, often with separate casitas or family suites that give everyone their own space at the end of an active day.

Good to knowBest December to April, the dry season, with wildlife concentrated near water. Expect brief afternoon showers even then; Costa Rica rarely goes a week without rain.

Mauritius
09 Mauritius

Calm lagoons, made for families

Mauritius is built around its lagoon, a wide band of calm, shallow water held back from the open ocean by coral reef, which makes it one of the most forgiving places to bring children into the sea. Younger guests gravitate towards kids' clubs and gentle water sports, while teenagers find kitesurfing schools and reef snorkelling closer to their speed. Parents get proper beaches, spa time and a slower rhythm once the children are settled. Villas here often come with their own pool and staff, so families keep to their own rhythm without leaving the grounds.

Good to knowBest May to December, the dry, cooler season. Cyclone risk runs January to March, so watch the forecasts closely in that window.

Design this journey

More than a holiday. Memories to treasure for years to come.

Every age, held at once

Toddlers

Short flights, familiar food and a villa or beach base beat an ambitious itinerary every time.

Ages 5 to 12

The prime years for theme parks, kids' clubs and safari: old enough to remember it, young enough to believe in it completely.

Teens

Independence within limits: watersports, boat trips, cities with real energy, and space not to share every meal.

Three generations

Separate space and a loose plan, coming together only for the moments that matter.

A family silhouetted hand in hand at sunset
An evening of magic: fireworks over a fairytale castle
A child snorkelling in shallow turquoise water

Good to know

We are travelling as three generations, grandparents included. How do you plan for that?

We start with space, not schedules: a villa or camp large enough that grandparents have their own wing and quiet hours, while children have somewhere to be loud. Shared moments, a lunch, a boat trip, a game drive, are built in deliberately, and staffing follows the family, not the itinerary.

Our youngest is still in nappies. Is a long-haul luxury holiday realistic?

Yes, with the right choices. Flight time matters more than people expect, so we favour destinations such as the Maldives or the Greek islands over anything with multiple connections. We also confirm cot provision, laundry and paediatric access at each stay before it reaches your itinerary.

Our children are a toddler and two teenagers. What works for everyone?

Villas and safari camps tend to flex best across ages: a private pool, a ranger or a boat suits a four-year-old and a sixteen-year-old very differently, but equally well. We build a loose daily structure with separate strands running side by side, so nobody is dragged to something built for another age.
