Our favourite family-friendly European resorts

03 August 2026

Choosing the right destination for your family holiday is a balancing act. You want somewhere that keeps the children happy, gives you a proper rest, and doesn't turn every day into a logistical puzzle. The good news is that some European resorts do all three beautifully. Each one suits a slightly different kind of family, whether you're travelling with a baby, a house full of teenagers, or children whose interests pull in every direction. Below, you'll find what makes each resort special, who it works best for, and how to plan around the practical details.

Japan with kids: The best family adventures from Tokyo to Miyajima

03 August 2026

Japan is a brilliant choice for families because every stop feels different. One day might involve immersive digital art in Tokyo, while the next brings a tea ceremony in Kyoto, free-roaming deer in Nara, or a boat ride across Lake Ashi. Add in bullet trains, theme parks, and delicious food, and you’ve got the makings of one exceptional family getaway. This guide walks you through the classic route from Tokyo to Miyajima, with a few ideas for going further. Think of it as a starting point for a trip we'd happily help you shape around your own children's ages and interests.

Why Albania needs to be on your travel wish list

03 August 2026

Albania has all the ingredients of a classic European escape, with clear Ionian waters, historic towns, mountain scenery, and long, leisurely meals, but it still feels refreshingly different from its better-known neighbours. One trip can take you from Tirana’s colourful streets to centuries-old hilltop fortresses, quiet coastal coves, and walking trails in the Albanian Alps. Its compact size makes it possible to see several sides of the country in one holiday, while family-run guesthouses, small restaurants, and local guides give each stop plenty of personality.
