Stress-Free and Under the Sun: Perfect Family Holidays

Parents already have a lot on their plate just with the daily grind, so some of them dread the holiday season. That’s why they need to arrive at a destination that offers fun, sun and minimal hassle. Turn up the heat, head for family friendly European destinations and you’ll have some really smashing holidays.

Here are some of the absolute best warm weather getaways for jet-setting families looking for fun in the sun:

Tenerife

The Canary Islands have long been a favourite of families traveling abroad. The weather is reliably beautiful, the islands are far enough away to seem truly exotic without the hassle of long haul flights (‘Thankfully,’ you cry!) and there are resorts to cater to the needs of all types of families. For a top holiday in Tenerife, you should make the most of the sand, surf and incredible inland adventures that Tenerife is famous for.

Benidorm

For families who love to getaway but can’t go too far, Benidorm, Spain is there to solve the problems. With direct flights, tons of inexpensive accommodation options and family-friendly activities, parents and kids will each find their own paradise in this holiday haven. There are plenty of day trips available to wilder parts of the Costa Blanca region like white water rafting, horse riding or mountain biking.

Greek Islands

World famous for scenic beaches and clear blue seas, the Greek Islands have long been a family favourite. Between the islands there are options for all types of family travel with a range of places to stay, itineraries and activities. Islands like Corfu, Crete, Rhodes and Kos are action-packed getaways for families. Alternatively, they might just want to amble along on a donkey (which they can do!).

Turkey

The Turkish coast is a gorgeous, easily accessible and a paradise for families. Less expensive than neighbouring Mediterranean resorts, Turkey is laidback and loads of fun. Families can explore rugged mountains, Roman ruins and deserted beaches all in the same day and return to cheap and cheerful accommodation each night. To top it all off, Turkish food is pretty darn tasty and can please even the fussiest young palate.

Family holidays are some of the most precious you’ll ever take, so you should do everything possible to make them stress-free and full of fun. Popular family destinations are well-equipped to open their arms to all types of families and entertain them. Visiting destinations with built- in family infrastructure will ensure holidays run smoothly and maximize fun for everyone. Now, who forgot to pack the sun lotion!
