The Best Luxury Family Getaways

Only a 2 hour flight time apart, Sri Lanka and the Maldives makes for the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation, the exclusivity of the Maldives ideal for families looking for unrivalled luxury. Starting in Sri Lanka, you can explore the Cultural Triangle, visiting sites such as the iconic Sigiriya Rock and the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy before heading down to Yala National park for an incredible safari! Jetwing Yala, located directly in the national park, offers specific family rooms so that there is space for everyone on your holiday!

Where to stay in the Maldives? The Residence Maldives at Dhigurah is a beautiful palm-fringed paradise located in the Gaafu Alifu Atoll; imagine sparkling turquoise water, white-sand beaches and tropical marine life. Whether you want to stay in a Robinson-Crusoe style beach villa or a dazzling lagoon villa, you and your family will be just steps away from many thrilling activities, such as beautiful natural trails and snorkelling. As well as this, the resort's PADI Bubblemaker Diver course means that children above the age of 8 can get a taste of scuba diving!

An African safari has always been the dream for most children, but a holiday just isn't a holiday without a beach. So why not combine both these experiences and visit South Africa and Mauritius? For a family-friendly safari, the Hlosi Game Lodge's Luxury Family Safari Tents and 'Kids on Safari' programme means that the whole family will be catered for throughout their stay.

Afterwards, beach paradise awaits you at the glorious One&Only Le Saint Geran on Mauritius's picturesque eastern coastline. With dedicated family suites, get ready to hit the beach and have a swim in the sparkling turquoise water of the Indian Ocean or lounge on the soft, white sand. Throughout your stay, you can make some memories with family cooking classes and snorkelling adventures, or let your children be creative at the KidsOnly club!

Dubai and the Maldives were almost designed for each other.
