This is a country we just can’t get enough of! And it’s really easy to understand why. It’s a short flight away so it’s great for travelling with children, the beaches are beautiful, the weather is excellent almost all year-round and the people are lovely! We especially like the Canary Islands, as they offer great value for money and resorts are designed with families in mind.

Mauritius, the Maldives and Seychelles are almost always described as paradise on earth. Perfect beaches and crystal clear waters are inviting for snorkelling and swimming with the family. Along with the beach setting the Indian Ocean’s beauty stretches inland with tropical forests and stunning landscapes.

If you have slightly older children that are okay with longer flights (approx. 10 hours), then a beach and safari holiday to South Africa can be your next memorable and unique family holiday.
