For families navigating food allergies, holidays can be incredibly stressful. The constant scanning of menus, the worry about cross-contamination and the suitcase full of “safe snacks” can take the joy out of travel. Many parents simply stop trying, convinced that a relaxing break isn’t compatible with their child’s dietary needs. That’s exactly how Katie felt. Her daughter Elyse , age 7, is alle

A Lapland Santa holiday is one of the most magical experiences you can give your children – snowy adventures, husky rides, reindeer sleighs, and of course, that unforgettable meeting with Santa himself.

You can have the most incredible safari experience in just three days

My kind of holiday is the one that immerses you in the place – whether that be the culture, the scenery or the wildlife. It’s described by the increasingly popular term “slow travel”.

In April 2025, we took off on a family holiday to Marrakech—a city I’d always wanted to explore, but wasn’t sure how it would work with three children in tow (aged 7, 10 and 13). Spoiler alert: it was brilliant. Challenging at times, but full of colour, culture, adventure and memories we’ll never forget. Arrival & First Impressions We landed early from Liverpool and, after waiting fairly patien

Tucked away in the heart of Marrakech’s buzzing medina lies El Fenn—a design-lover’s dream and an oasis of calm amidst the city’s vibrant chaos. On my recent trip, I treated myself to their signature Ancestral Magic spa experience, and what followed was nothing short of rejuvenating. The treatment began with a traditional hammam, something I’d been both curious and a little nervous about. I was

That’s exactly what Sarah and Ben did with their fleeting but fabulous 6-night escape to one of their favourite corners of the world: Railay Beach, Thailand. “We had a fleeting 6 nights in Thailand which is all we could squeeze into our work schedules,” Sarah said, “but it was exactly

As seasoned travellers who once roamed the world freely, Vicky, Jono and their two children were hesitant about an all-inclusive holiday. They’ve always been explorers, preferring to immerse themselves in local cultures rather than settling into one resort. But with two little ones in tow, the idea of a hassle-free luxury retreat sounded increasingly appealing. Enter Ikos Dassia, a five-star all-i
