Amirandes Grecotel Boutique Resort

Brilliant childcare and child-friendly suites and villas, many with private pools, make this traditional and very glamorous resort a firm favourite with families. Centred on a lagoon pool, this beachfront resort was styled after the palaces of the Minoan kings and Venetian nobles who once ruled the island, and its highlights include an Ayurvedic spa and atmospheric dining – beachside by the light of braziers, beneath the stars on a wooden deck above the pool, or even surrounded by an amazing collection of genuine Picasso ceramics that adorns the “Minotaur” restaurant.

There’s plenty to do both on-site and near the Amirandes Grecotel Boutique Resort too, ranging from boat safaris and fishing excursions to horse riding and golf. You’re also right on hand for the lively island capital Heraklion with its Venetian port, fortress, and archaeological museum, and the Minoan Palace of Knossos, home to the maze-dwelling Minotaur of legend.

Grecotel Caramel

This family-friendly boutique retreat has all kinds of great activities, including eco-themed days and the likes of Greek dancing in its kids’ and teen clubs catering for children aged 4–17 years. There’s also a water sports centre and a nearby diving school, and plenty to do outside the resort, including exploring Heraklion and Knossos.

Another huge draw is the resort’s setting on a beach providing a home for Caretta caretta turtles, making it perfect for those looking for a true escape but with enough fun to keep the kids entertained. Oozing retro glamour in its suites and villas, you can take advantage of flexible accommodation options that can sleep up to nine people – ideal for multigenerational holidays with grandparents, or getaways with extended family or friends.

Grecotel Marine Palace Aqua Park & Kingdom of Poseidon

Excitingly revamped for summer 2024, with a new kids’ pool, a new spa and gym, new rooms and bungalows, and an expansion of its main restaurant, the Marine Palace has always been a classic choice for families thanks to its superb Aqua Park and neighbouring lagoon pool. It’s also quite charming – designed to resemble a seaside village, with different neighbourhoods with gardens, restaurants, and boutiques.

The choice of accommodation here embraces something to suit all families, including stylishly themed Casa Marina rooms near the Aqua Park, while the Grecoland Club includes new Mermaid School adventures and cookery lessons, and Grecoteens keeps activity-loving teens busy. Meanwhile, parents can slope off to the spa with its 75m² indoor pool with hydromassage tub, sauna, and signature treatments inspired by ancient Greek rituals and the country’s abundant nature. Spa facilities also include a fitness room with various equipment, three private massage rooms, a beauty salon, hairdresser, and fitness aerobic area.

Experience boutique beachfront living in Mexico

For those who like their Caribbean escape with a little more character, The Fives Oceanfront offers boutique luxury right on the beachfront in Puerto Morelos. This former fishing village has kept a noticeably slower pace than some of the Riviera Maya’s larger resorts, with local restaurants, small shops, and the town’s leaning lighthouse all within easy reach. Back at the hotel, the atmosphere is equally laid-back, with contemporary design, plenty of space to switch off, and the Caribbean Sea taking centre stage.

Experience the adventurous side of Turks and Caicos

This corner of the Caribbean has all the ingredients for an easy Caribbean escape, from the powder-soft sands of Grace Bay to brilliantly clear water made for long afternoons by the sea. But spend a little more time here, and there’s another side to the islands worth exploring. You can kayak through mangroves, snorkel over coral reefs, venture across to North and Middle Caicos, and seek out local food and music back on Providenciales. Better still, these experiences can easily sit alongside slower beach days, giving you a holiday that feels adventurous without needing to be action-packed from morning to night.

Discover the Dolomites, Italy's ultimate mountain escape

14 August 2026

There is another side to Italy beyond its famous cities, coastlines, and lakes. In the north of the country, the Dolomites rise dramatically above alpine meadows, forested valleys, and villages where Italian, Austrian, and Ladin influences come together. Recognised by UNESCO for their exceptional natural beauty and geology, these mountains are made for anyone wanting to spend their days outdoors without giving up the things Italy does so well: beautiful places to stay, long lunches, and excellent wine. Whether you're an experienced hiker or simply like the idea of cable-car rides, gentle walks, and lunch in a mountain hut, here's how to experience the Dolomites your way.
