Holidays are fabulous, whenever and wherever you decide to take them. Whether it’s a day trip to the seaside with your trusty bucket and spade or a week-long sojourn abroad, a break from the norm is something for you and your family to look forward to every year. Travelling with kids, showing them the world and letting them truly enjoy themselves is a real treat and can be affordable too with all inclusive holidays from Direct Holidays.
If you have never been abroad with the kids before, you may want to tread water in the shallow end and plump for short haul breaks rather than plunging head first into long haul alternatives. Luckily, Europe is awash with some incredible resorts that are family-orientated, fun filled and best of all, hot! |
Mainland Spain
With an array of Spanish Costas to choose from, you can head for the mainland and enjoy the beaches and family-friendly activities that are available to you. Costa Dorada is excellent for kids, with Salou being a family favourite, while the theme park, PortAventura, is popular with thrill-seeking locals and tourists alike. Alternatively, Costa Almeria offers a more laidback break, perfect if you want to unwind and recharge your batteries on the beach, while your kids dig for treasure in the golden sands.

Majorca
As the largest of the Balearic Islands, it’s no wonder that Majorca is a central hub for British holidaymakers. Palma Nova in the south is ideal for families, while a trip to neighbouring Magaluf would be perfect if you have some restless teens travelling with you. Alternatively, Alcudia in the north east of the island is chilled out, stress-free and home to plenty of family excursions including a waterpark and a thrill maze.

Gran Canaria
As one of the Canary Islands, just off the coast of North Africa, you can expect pleasing climes and a relaxing stay. All inclusive breaks here are in abundance, with Maspalomas being a popular resort due to the notorious sand dunes that can be found here. Puerto Rico is also a popular haunt, although very hilly so not for the less-able.
It doesn’t matter where you go on holiday; kids will thank you for it. Do your research and book into a hotel that caters to them – kids clubs, entertainment and animation teams – you get the picture! |
