The Top Holiday Destinations for Multi-Generational Families
Collaborative Post
There is something uniquely special about travelling with generations of family members. Seeing third-generation babies in the arms of great-grandparents is so heartwarming and holidays abroad are the perfect opportunity for them to bond, share stories and create lasting memories.
Of course, striking that balance between family bonding and holiday thrill is difficult since there are so many preferences to consider. Luckily, with the right destination, joy and relaxation can be brought to every age group.
Here are four holiday hotspots primed for a multi-generational adventure.
Antalya, Turkey
Holidays to Turkey’s Antalya have been a long-time favourite for holidaymakers with children. The gorgeous stretches of beach are ideal for little ones who like splashing about in the sea and older travellers that want to kick back in the sun.
History buffs will enjoy exploring the ancient city of Perge, complete with remnants of Roman columns and an impressive amphitheatre. Kids can spend the day at The Land of Legends waterpark burning off energy, while luxury resorts like the Barut Lara offer activities like cooking classes for grandparents.
Dubai, UAE
Famous for its glamorous skyline and record-breaking architecture (like the Burj Khalifa!), Dubai is a city that pulls out all the stops. If your family has a penchant for adventure, a desert safari is a thrilling experience, with options for camel rides, dune bashing and traditional Bedouin dinners under the stars.
Children can marvel at the Dubai Aquarium’s underwater worlds, while parents and seniors can take full advantage of the many luxurious spa resorts. There is also countless family-friendly shopping options, from the sprawling Dubai Mall to traditional souks.
The Lake District, UK
If you and your brood are seeking a quieter holiday with a focus on the great outdoors, the Lake District is just one of the nature gems the UK has to offer. It’s a region that’s particularly suited to families looking to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of hiking, swimming and listening to the sound of nature.
Older family members may want to avoid lengthy hikes, but they can still take in all the natural beauty on offer with a scenic lake cruise. There are cycling trails, nature walks and walking routes that allow you to climb some of the region’s highest peaks.
Orlando, Florida, USA
Nothing does family-friendly fun quite like Orlando, Florida. Known far and wide for its world-class theme parks, the city offers an unmatched level of entertainment for children and adults alike.
Disney World and Universal Studios are, of course, the main draws, where even grandparents can rediscover their inner child. Many theme park resorts offer family suites, pools and accessible transportation within the parks.
