Sun, sea, and smiles: why Barbados is the perfect destination for families

Reach new heights at Harrison’s Cave Eco-Adventure Park

If your family loves a mix of nature and excitement, the Harrison’s Cave Eco-Adventure Park is the place to start. Here, kids aged six and up (and grown-ups too!) can soar 100 feet above the forest on the Monkey Zipline. With panoramic views of the island, it’s a high-flying, adrenaline-packed adventure you won’t forget. Or you can take it easy by following peaceful nature trails or discover the park’s hidden underground world with a guided cave tour, where you’ll find ancient rock formations.

Discover the island’s natural beauty and local crafts

A mix of lively nature and creative artistry, the Flower Forest, Harrison’s Cave, and Earthworks Pottery Tour has something for everyone. Stroll through the botanical garden of the Flower Forest and marvel at its explosion of colours and exotic blooms. With stroller-friendly paths, it’s perfect for little feet and wheels alike. Then, swap sunshine for a magical underground experience as you hop on a tram ride through Harrison’s Cave. End your tour at Earthworks Pottery, where kids will be amazed by artisans handcrafting beautiful ceramics.

Explore the ocean depths with the Atlantis Submarine

Dive into Barbados’ amazing marine life without even getting wet! The Atlantis Submarine Tour lets your family descend 150 feet below the surface to uncover a hidden underwater world from the comfort of an air-conditioned submarine. Wide panoramic windows give everyone a front-row view of vibrant coral reefs, majestic turtles gliding past, tropical fish darting about, and even a historic shipwreck.

As summer draws to a close, city breaks come back into focus, and few destinations pack as much into a long weekend as Valletta. Malta's compact capital combines centuries of history with a thriving food scene, waterfront views, and a walkable centre that makes it easy to fit plenty into just a few days. With warm autumn temperatures, open-air cafés still spilling onto the streets, and a calendar of events continuing well beyond peak season, it's an easy choice for anyone looking for somewhere that feels both relaxed and full of character.

Why Aphrodite Hills Resort offers more than just a villa holiday

Set among the rolling hills of Cyprus’ south-west coast, Aphrodite Hills Resort offers much more than a standalone villa or apartment stay. Guests have their own private space, with options ranging from serviced apartments to large villas with private pools, while still having championship golf, tennis and padel courts, restaurants, wellness facilities, and family activities close by. Just 15 minutes from Paphos International Airport, it is a practical choice for couples, families, groups, and longer stays, with added services such as housekeeping, arrival food baskets, breakfast at the Golf Clubhouse, and private chefs available to make the holiday even easier.

Where to stay in the Algarve, from villas to boutique retreats

Choosing where to stay can completely change the feel of an Algarve holiday.

From the fishing village of Salema to the quieter landscapes around Vila do Bispo and Lagos, these four stays each offer their own take on southern Portugal, whether you want the freedom of a villa, easy access to the beach, or somewhere small and characterful to come back to after a day exploring.
