The Best Family Activity Holidays: How to Choose

Beach or mountain, all-inclusive club or self-catering villa, what to look for and which ages suit what. An honest guide to choosing a family activity holiday.

The Best Family Activity Holidays: How to Choose

"Family activity holiday" covers a lot of ground, from a beach club where the watersports are free to a mountain chalet with a kids club. Here is how to pick the one that fits your family, with no marketing fluff.

What makes a good family activity holiday?

Four things: activities included rather than nickel-and-dimed, a kids club so parents get a break, a range of activities so every age and ability is covered, and food sorted so the holiday is a real rest. Our beach clubs and the Alpine Family Club are built around all four.

Beach club, mountain or villa?

  • Beach club (Lixouri Bay): free watersports and bikes, kids club, meals included. Best for sun, sea and a sociable week.
  • Mountain (Alpine Family Club): hiking, biking, rafting and a kids club in cooler air. Best for an active mountain adventure.
  • Villa (Villa Club): your own self-catering villa with a pool and a hire car, plus optional beach-club access. Best for space and independence.

What about different ages?

All of these suit babies through teenagers. Younger children get shallow water or the kids club; teenagers get windsurfing, sailing, mountain biking and more. The activity range is what lets one holiday work for the whole family.

Still deciding?

Compare the options below, see our family holidays, or talk to our team for a steer based on your children's ages.
