Luxury Family Vacations
Vacation time is precious. Especially since it’s the one time you get to truly bond as a family and do what you enjoy best, together. Traveling through the eyes of a child can be magical, giving you the chance to share extraordinary experiences together that you’ll talk about for years to come. From adrenaline-fueled sports and wildlife encounters to family-friendly luxury beach resorts and mountain retreats, our unparaleled local knowledge and customized approach means your vacation will be perfectly crafted to suit you and your family.
Why not treat teens to an incredible African safari, spotting baby leopard cubs and other species rarely seen? Or, head to the mountains and watch your toddler play in powdery-soft snow for the first time while skiing. At Scott Dunn, we promise luxury family vacations you’ll never forget.
Family travel is our bread and butter so we have an armory of the best family vacation spots, properties and local experiences to help you introduce your children to the world in all of its diverse glory. What’s more, you can rest easy knowing we’ll have every little thing considered to ensure your trip runs smoothly. Whether it’s your toddler’s favorite snacks stocked in your villa, a crib ready for your arrival at the hotel, or a kids activity day planned at one of our Explorers Kids Clubs - so mom and dad can indulge in a pampering spa day.
Needless to say, our customized luxury vacations guarantee smiles all round.
Family Adventures
Explore
When was the last time you took a real adventure? A heart-thumping, eye-widening escapade that left you astounded and inspired (with a mile-wide smile to match)? If you thought that having a family meant hanging up your boots, think again.
Family safaris in Africa
Explore
Nothing beats seeing your child’s face light up with the joy of coming face to face with their first elephant, or watching them learn to track game with a Maasai warrior. A family safari in Africa is truly magical.
Hotels with Kids Clubs
Explore
As well as offering our own exclusive kids clubs, we also arrange vacations at a large number of luxury family hotels that feature superb kids clubs of their own. As our specialists have visited every property and resort, they can advise you on specific features and facilities for younger guests, pre-book your children into the children’s club, and arrange babysitting services if you require them.
Family Beach Vacations
Explore
Sand plus water equals happy children. It's a proven formula. Whatever their ages, we'll help you find the perfect white sand utopia for your family beach vacation where you can swim in shallow lagoons, cycle sandy palm-lined paths, where little ones can whoop with delight at nesting turtles or run amok at a brilliant kids club while you relax at a world class spa. It's luxury resort or breezy island living at its best.
Family Reunions
Explore
With more families living further apart than ever before, any chance to gather kith and kin—to unplug and reconnect—is precious indeed. But why wait for a big birthday or family milestone to roll around? The desire to see the faces you love light up on a dream family vacation is all the excuse you need to plan a get together of epic proportions.
