Family hotels with kids' clubs
Let's be honest - it doesn't matter if you're in Spain or on one of our Turkey holidays - when you're trying to kick back with a beach read and a cocktail you can't pronounce the name of, the last thing you want is the constant chirp of I'm bored in your ear hole. Totally kills the vibe. Thankfully, that's where kids' clubs come in. It's basically like having a free babysitter who brings all the colouring, lego-building, disco-dancing, face-painting fun to the table so you don't have to. We've got loads of All Inclusive Family Holidays with kids' clubs right on site, but these three have MULTIPLE, meaning literally everyone's covered - whether it's tots, teens or in-betweens. Laura from our Marketing department took her little one to Granada Luxury Belek Hotel and let's just say, the air-conditioned soft play areas went down an absolute TREAT. Keeping the little'uns entertained and tiring them out for bedtime? Always a winner.
Family Holidays with Short Flights and Transfers
Are we there yet? was a good movie, but no one wants to live it for real. Whether you've got tantrum-prone toddlers or just a few impatient travellers under your wing (*cough* Dad *cough*), these top hotels with speedy flights and transfers* will be right up your street. You can fly to all of these stunners in 3 hours or less, and you don't have to worry about a half-day roadtrip to get to your resort once you land. Let's get that holiday started ASAP!
Family Hotels with Waterparks
Nothing screams 'family fun' like zooming down a waterslide and swallowing half the pool when you reach the bottom. No matter what you're into (sorry, we mean the kids): the simple, swooping kind, the twisty-turny kind, the crazy rivers, the kamikazes, the free-falls - we've got plenty of hotels with waterparks to get stuck into. When it comes to the best holidays for kids, these are a few of our faves, with splash-worthy fun to keep everyone happy. We think the pics say it all, really...
Family Holiday Packages for Everyone...
We know families come in all shapes and sizes. Big ones, little ones, moody teen ones, toddler tantrum ones. We've got a holibobs for whoever you're bringing along.
Family Holidays Abroad with Babies and Toddlers
Nap time, playtime, snack time – toddler life’s not so bad, right? Sure, they’re a handful, but once you hit that beach… bliss. Pick the right hotel and travelling with tots is a breeze: splash pools, swing sets, babysitting, and all-day ice cream to keep little ones smiling. And yes, the mini-disco tunes will live rent-free in your brain.
With flexible flight options (here's looking at you easyJet), you can choose times that suit you and the little ones. Plus, loads of our family breaks are just a short hop away, meaning less time with grumpy kiddos on planes and more time building sandcastles and lazing by the pool 😎
Best Family Holidays for Teenagers
Teens – too cool to holiday with you, but not too cool for you to wash their socks. Their days of kids’ clubs are done, so give ’em the good stuff: multiple pools, games rooms, proper watersports, and Wi-Fi that won’t make them groan. Basically, everything they need to stay entertained while you sneak in a proper jolly.
Wherever you head – a holiday to Greece, Spain, Portugal, the list goes on – look out for interconnecting rooms. Teens get their space, you get yours, and everyone’s still just a door away. That’s… actually pretty sick.
Family Holidays for Big Groups
Rolling deep with your own mini-army? Or travelling with the whole group and pooling all the kiddos together? Either way, we’ve got the ultimate spots for BIG family fun. Think roomy apartments for post-tantrum timeouts, pools for every age, and enough entertainment to keep babies to boomers buzzing. Get the gang together and get going.
Single parent holidays
Single-parent holidays don’t have to be a juggling act! Think stress-free adventures and family-friendly fun in top-tier destinations. There are kids' clubs that’ll keep the little ones entertained while you unwind by the pool, babysitting services for those well-deserved evenings off, and spacious rooms with all the essentials to keep your trip hassle-free.
Top tip for travelling solo with kids: pack smart with plenty of snacks, entertainment, and a trusty pair of swimmers for splashy fun. Choose hotels with amenities like on-site dining, so you’re not hunting for dinner after a busy day, and easy access to local attractions to minimise travel faff. Whether you’re craving sandy beaches, action-packed activities, or just a chance to bond with your kiddo over new adventures, our single-parent holidays tick every box.
Time-Zone Friendly Family Holidays
Keeping the kids to a schedule can be hard enough, without a crazy time difference throwing off all your nap times and snack times. The good news is, there are PLENTY of fam-friendly destinations set within an hour of GMT, so you can enjoy a jolly that's as smooth as a suncream-covered back, from Malta to Spain and back again.
*Flight times are a calculated average across UK airports, and transfer times are based on a direct taxi transfer.
Hotels with the Best Family Rooms
The kids are great. We love 'em. But sometimes being bunched together in a shoebox room just isn't the vibe, and you might fancy a late-night sangria (or a cheeky Ouzo if you're in Greece) without disturbing them. It doesn't matter if you're treating yourself to one of our luxury holidays or browsing our super-fun activity holidays - a comfy room should always be on the cards. That’s where these hotels come in, with their apartments, snazzy rooms with funky bunkbeds, separate bedrooms or partitioned rooms - so you can have the best of both worlds.
Family Holiday Essentials
Wet 'n' Wild Waterparks
Bigger is better, right? We’re talking about waterslides obviously, and we've got plenty of hotels with waterparks that bring guaranteed fun without you even needing to leave the resort! We're talking raft rides, lazy rivers and twisting tube slides that'll make you wish you didn’t have that second ice cream after lunch... Most family resorts have a waterpark within reach, but if you really want to go one step further, you've got to go for a hotel that's got one right on site. If we can't hear the screams and feel the water spray from our sun lounger, we don't want to know about it.
Cool Kids' Clubs
Hey, sometimes you just need a bit of peace and quiet while the kiddos are off colouring in and playing dress-up. We get it. That’s why we’ve got plenty of hotels with kids’ clubs, activities and mini discos, so there’s no chance of the young ones getting bored - and no chance of you getting sick of 'em! Just keep in mind that kids' clubs are typically a seasonal thing, but the good news is that if you're jetting off in half-term, most family hotels will have the service available. Whatever your motive - whether it's that the kids want to hang out with some youngsters their own age, they're itching to get messy doing arts and crafts, or you just want a quiet moment to yourself - a hotel with a kids' club on site is a big fat WIN.
ALL the Activities
Is it even a family jolly until you've argued over a game of mini golf? The kids think they got a hole-in-one, Dad thinks they cheated, Mum thinks it's just a game and everyone should get over it. We think it's all part of the fun! The best holidays for kids always have a mini golf course on site, and honestly, that's just a small taste of what our family-friendly resorts offer. Think water polo (that's the one with the super-attractive swim caps and goggles, FYI), archery (so the kids can channel their inner Katniss Everdeen), volleyball, bowling, watersports galore, and loads more. In short: there's no chance of getting bored, and it's the perfect way to make sure the kiddos are entertained on one of our cheap family holidays.
Food for Every Mood
Family holidays are all fun and games until it comes to meal time and the kids turn their nose up at anything that isn't a chip or a chicken nugget. Thankfully, our kid-friendly hotels know what's up, which is why loads of them offer special kids' menus and separate buffet sections just for the tots, teens and picky in-betweens. Think crispy nuggs, saucy spaghetti, sweet onion rings (not to be confused with calamari - been there), cheesy pizzas, fresh fruit, ice cream, and plenty more to promise full bellies and happy faces. That's fuss-free dining, no matter how fussy your party is. Bish, bash, bosh.
All Inclusive Family Holidays 2026
Bob Marley once sang don't worry, be happy, and we can't say for certain, but we're pretty sure he was talking about All Inclusive Family Holidays to top destinations that are never gonna break the bank, like Benidorm or Santorini that're boasting all the needs, musts and non-negotiables! Maximum happy vibes and zero worries, because all your holiday essentials are covered in one price tag. Drinks? Check. Food? Checkity-check. Fun-packed activities? Checkarooney. You've got endless ice cream to sort those tantrums right out (AKA, when Dad loses at mini golf), waterparks for some next-level fun, beaches for...well, we probably don't need to explain that one, and most importantly - kids' clubs - so you can kick back doing diddly-squat, knowing the kiddos are having a blast.
Travelling with Kids: Tips and Tricks
Family holidays are a joy… and a juggling act. You want relaxation, the kids want non-stop fun, and if you’re travelling with a whole squad, the logistics get spicy. Whether you’re herding toddlers through the airport or trying to please nan and your mate’s kids, a bit of prep, flexibility, and humour goes a long way. And hey – the chaotic bits always make the best stories later.
Prep for the Journey - keep the kiddos entertained and you’ve already won half the battle. Stock up on snacks (seriously, don’t skimp), load up the tablets, and pack a few surprise toys for long flights. A hangry toddler at 30,000 feet? Hard pass.
Choose Family-Friendly Stays - go all-in on hotels with kids’ clubs, splash zones, and babysitting. All-inclusive resorts are a top-tier shout – more activities for them, more poolside peace for you.
Stick to a Routine…-ish - holibobs are for fun, but keeping meals and naps roughly on schedule can save your sanity. And yes, bending bedtime for a gorge sunset or theme-park parade is absolutely allowed.
Keep It Simple - don’t cram the itinerary. Pick a couple of standout activities a day and leave time to chill. Everyone’s happier when there’s room to breathe.
Divide and Conquer - travelling in a big group? Not everyone has to do everything. Split off for beach days, markets, whatever – then meet up for a delish dinner and swap stories.
Going Abroad in the School Holidays
Fitting your family holibobs around term time is almost as stressful as trying to organise Hair Wash Day. And 10x more expensive. Firstly, there's deciding when to actually go (Easter? Summer? Christmas?), and then there's deciding where. But before you get your swimwear in a twist, we've got your back. We've got deals coming out our ears, so choose your term below and prepare to bag a bargain.
