Luxury Family Beach Holiday FAQs

  • How long do your family beach holidays last?

    Our luxury family beach holidays typically last anywhere between seven and 14 nights. Each trip is carefully put together with you in mind, so the duration of your stay is entirely up to you. This way you can make sure you get the most out of your holiday and the fantastic destinations you can explore as a family.

  • When's the best time to go on a family beach holiday?

    This will depend on the destination you choose and the time of year you want to go away.

    If you have your heart set on a European getaway in the likes of Greece or Portugal, we recommend travelling during May or October so you can enjoy the splendid Mediterranean climate at its best.

    Thinking about travelling further afield? For destinations such as Antigua or Oman, we'd advise booking between October and April to avoid the intense heat during the peak summer months.
