Our luxury family beach vacations 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 vacation and the fantastic destinations you can explore as a family.
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 traveling during May or October so you can enjoy the splendid Mediterranean climate at its best.
Thinking about traveling 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.
To ensure your children have the most magical vacation imaginable, we provide exclusive kids clubs for children from the age of four months across many of our family beach vacations.
You can be safe in the knowledge that your children will have fun making lots of new friends as we entertain them in first-class facilities.
