LUXURY FAMILY HOLIDAYS

Discover Family Holidays

Family holidays are all about creating incredible memories which you and your children will treasure forever. We can plan the perfect trip for you, tailored to your family’s interests. Whether you’re looking for child-friendly hotels with amazing kids’ clubs for younger children, or somewhere with lots of outdoor activities like paddleboarding or rock climbing, we can plan the perfect trip for you that does not compromise on style or space.

Have an adventure in the Azores, share amazing food in Italy, teach your little ones to ski in Switzerland or simply relax on a toddler safe beach. Whatever you’re looking for from your family holiday, we can plan the perfect luxurious trip to ensure both children and adults have a happy, relaxing time away, full of opportunities to make amazing memories together.

The holiday they will never forget

Family holidays are an incredibly special time and are often when we create some of the most precious memories with our children. They’re a great opportunity for you to share your passions as well, and introduce your children to an activity you love, such as snorkeling, surfing, snowboarding or skiing.

The age of your children and their interests will have a big impact on the kind of holiday that is right for you, which is why our team will take the time to get to know you and your needs, to curate the perfect luxurious family holiday for you.

Travelling with babies and toddlers can be challenging, but we can introduce you to exceptional hotels which provide fantastic babysitting services so that you can enjoy some valuable adult-only time resting and relaxing. The Caribbean or Maldives are a great place to relax and spend some quality time with your baby, or splash in the shallows with a toddler while tiny colourful fish dart around your feet.

For slightly older children, there’s so much fun to be had in hotels with fantastic pools and waterslides, near to beaches, ice cream parlours, and adventure parks. We can point you towards hotels with amazing kids’ clubs, or ones which run fantastic courses that will introduce your children to activities like surfing or skiing. Singapore, for example, is home to Sentosa Island, an amazing place to explore with amusement parks, gardens and beaches making it a fantastic family-friendly location.

If you’re looking to travel with teens, we can talk you through some wonderful options for your holiday, with great activities for the whole family to enjoy. Italy is particularly popular with teens thanks to the amazing food, incredibly blue water and array of shops and galleries to explore.

Multi-generational family luxury holidays are growing in popularity, with private villas and exclusive resorts providing perfect options for larger extended families.

Our team of experienced travel experts are on hand to advise you and help you create your dream luxury family holiday. We can take care of every aspect of your holiday, from airport assistance and transfers, through to pre-booked excursions and exclusive guided tours.

The right holiday depends entirely on the interests of you and your family, but there are some  destinations our team have hand-picked that are perfect for  those travelling with children.

Little ones generally love spending time in the water, and the island of Crete has some incredibly safe beaches, making this a great place for children to swim. They’ll also love learning about the legend of the minotaur in the magnificent Palace of Knossos. Parents can relax on the golden sand or in a luxurious hotel or villa and enjoy the exquisite food and drink for which Greece is famous.

For older children and teens, a safari is a truly unforgettable experience where they can get up close and personal with some of the most amazing animals on the planet. Luxurious lodges and dining under the stars make this a great option for parents too.

Escapes by BFP recommendations

There is a huge array of wonderful destinations for a family holiday, and we can design you the perfect trip depending on when and where you would like to go. If you’re looking to go on safari, the dry season throughout much of Africa runs from May through to September, and wildlife is easier to spot at this time thanks to its tendency to stay near water sources.

Greece, Italy and Montenegro are all fantastic in the summertime and offer lots of interesting and fun things to do as a family. If you’re looking to ski, December to February is when you’ll get the best snow in Zermatt, a town in Switzerland that looks like it’s straight out of a fairytale.

Best time of year to visit Family

December to February

Heavy snow makes this a fantastic time to ski throughout Europe and North America, and if your little ones are dreaming of a white Christmas, countries like Switzerland, Canada and the Northern states of the USA won’t disappoint. January and February are one of the best times to go to the Maldives if you’re looking to unwind and enjoy some winter sun with your family in the ultimate lap of luxury.

March to May

April and May are amazing in Italy and Greece, with warm weather and masses of spring flowers in the countryside, but without the same level of heat as in the summer months. This makes it a particularly good time for visiting with young children. April and May are also fantastic in the Seychelles and Mauritius, making this a popular time to visit.

June to August

Africa’s Great Migration begins in July, with herds starting to gather in the Serengeti, and reaches its peak in August, especially in Kenya’s Maasai Mara. This is a wonderful opportunity to see immense herds of zebra and wildebeest crossing Kenya’s rivers, and predators flocking to attack stragglers. Europe is hot and sunny, and this is a great time to introduce older children or teens to water sports like paddleboarding or surfing.

September to November

September is a wonderful time to see elephant in Tanzania as they gather in the grasslands. It’s also when temperatures in Namibia are at their most pleasant, so this is a popular time to visit. Mauritius is at its best in October, and while there’s a possibility of rain in the Maldives, this is a great time of year to see whale sharks and rays. November sees heavier snowfall begin in countries like Switzerland and Iceland, making this a good time both for skiing and for seeing the Northern Lights.
