Winter Sun for Families

Throughout the year, Tenerife stays warm and temperate, confirming it as a failsafe destination for sunseekers looking to escape winter's chill. The child friendly atmosphere and fantastic kids programme make Ritz-Carlton Abama perfect for a fun-filled family holiday all year round. There is also a superb golf course, two Michelin star restaurants, spa and beach club, making Abama a firm favourite among adults too.

Situated in a quiet cove on the unspoilt south coast of Antigua, with a backdrop of lush tropical rainforest, it is a haven for relaxation, watersports and family fun. It has its own superb Children’s Club for as young as 6 months – a rarity in the Caribbean. Areas include a sand pit, paddling pool, jungle gym, mini tennis court and tricycles, along with complimentary kids high tea served daily from 5 - 6pm at Ottimo! Restaurant. The Beach terrace suites are ideal for families.

As a winter sun destination, the talcum powder sands, and impossibly blue waters of the Maldives beckon stronger than any other. Although traditionally one of the honeymoon capitals of the world, Scott Dunn now has an Explorers kids club based in Niyama resort in the Dhaalu atoll. Combining world class accommodation and dining with an enormous range of activities for both big and little people, Niyama really does take the family holiday and add something really rather special.

The epitome of barefoot luxury, Six Senses Zighy Bay is perfect for winter sun in a laid-back atmosphere with some of the best food and service in the Middle East. There is plenty to do from relaxing by the pool, to paragliding, snorkelling, mountain biking or watching a film under the stars. We especially love Sense on the Edge which has the most stunning view and delicious food to match!

Sugar Beach, a Viceroy Resort is a luxury resort in a truly spectacular location, set within 100 acres of lush rainforest on a striking white sand beach. As such, it is a great base for a fun-filled family adventure in the sunny Caribbean. The whole family can snorkel at the foot of the pitons and experience amazing marine life at this popular dive spot. For those wanting to truly relax, the Rainforest Spa is a must.
