Family holidays, active and child-led.

Why families come back every year.

BeyondBeach family holidays run on a simple promise: kids supervised, watersports included, parents in their own time. Our beach clubs in Greece and Portugal include a kids club from six months, with age-banded groups for toddlers through teens, RYA-qualified watersports instructors on the beach, and family rooms with connecting doors.

In winter, our catered ski chalets in Val Thorens, Meribel and Vaujany work for families with primary-age skiers right through to confident teens. Group ski lessons are pre-arranged in English, transfers from Geneva or Grenoble are organised, and the chalet hosts cook a child-friendly tea before adult dinner six nights of seven.

We've been running family weeks since 2001. ATOL protected, IPP insolvency insured, and small enough that the team you book with knows your kids' names by Tuesday.

What makes a family week here.

  • Kids club from 6 months
  • Family rooms and suites at every base
  • Free watersports for ages 8 and up
  • English-speaking ski lessons in winter
  • Babysitting available on request
  • ATOL protected, IPP insured

A bit more detail.

From six months,

From six months, age-banded.

Our Greek beach clubs run a Baby Club for 6 to 24 months with a 1:3 staff ratio, then age-banded groups for toddlers, juniors, mid-teens and older teens. Each group has its own activity programme, snack times, and supervised watersports sessions. Parents drop off after breakfast and pick up before dinner, with shorter mid-day options if you'd rather lunch together.

Connecting rooms and family suites.

Most of our family-suitable accommodation has connecting rooms, family suites or two-bed apartments so kids and parents have separate sleeping space without being on different floors. Cots are free; high chairs are at every meal.

Catered chalets

Catered chalets and English ski school.

In winter our French Alps chalets in Val Thorens, Meribel and Vaujany pre-arrange English-speaking ESF or evolution2 group lessons, ski hire delivered to the chalet, and afternoon tea before kids' dinner so younger skiers can crash early. Lift passes are bookable through us at resort price.

Family-run, family-tested.

Our team have brought their own kids on every holiday in our programme. The recommendations on family suitability, kids-club ratios, ski lesson groupings and food are first-hand. ATOL protected since 2001, IPP insurance, RYA Recognised Training Centre.

Activities included in the week.

Every activity below is included in the price across the family-tagged holidays. Watersports kit, tuition, yoga, fitness, kids club, ski lift access bundled where applicable.

Bases that work for kids of every age.

From 6 months at our Greek beach clubs (Lixouri Bay, Stira Bay, Villa Club). The Baby Club has a 1:3 staff ratio for under-twos, then age-banded groups for toddlers (2 to 4), juniors (5 to 8), mid-teens (9 to 12) and older teens (13 to 16).

Yes. Travel cots, high chairs and bath supports are free at every beach club and family-suitable accommodation. Buggies are available to borrow at the Greek beach clubs.

Most family bookings are placed in connecting rooms or two-bedroom suites so kids and parents have separate sleeping space. Family rooms sleeping four or five with one bathroom are also available at lower price points; we will explain the layout before you book.

Yes. Free dinghy sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking and windsurfing for ages 8 and up at our beach clubs, with kids-only coaching sessions woven into the week. Younger children join supervised paddle and float sessions through the kids club.

In winter we pre-arrange English-speaking group lessons in Val Thorens, Meribel and Vaujany based on age and ability. Lessons are not bundled in the price (different families need different group sizes); typical 6-day morning groups are EUR 150 to EUR 200 per child.

Let's talk it through. We've all been there.

Every person in our UK office has stayed at the holiday you're looking at. Ask anything: which week is best, what to pack, which flight saves you a connection.

Chat with us or send an enquiry, or call if you'd rather. No call centres, no scripts, no upsell. Just honest advice from people who genuinely run these holidays.
