We secretly look forward to the summer months all year long, but what to do during the holidays with children and where are you going? We understand that it is difficult to make a choice between all those cool destinations! That is why we have listed the top 10 destinations for a family holiday for you.
1. Mallorca
With a surplus of beautiful bays, sunshine and child-friendly hotels, Mallorca is certainly in the top 10 holiday destinations with children! The best-known cities in Mallorca are Palma de Mallorca and El Arenal, but are also the busiest destinations in Mallorca. If you go to Mallorca with children, you may prefer to stay in the child-friendly north. Alcudia is a popular seaside resort for families. The 17 kilometer long sandy beach ends very quietly here. Great for children!
2. Costa Brava
Looking for clean beaches and top quality seawater? Costa Brava it is! This beautiful region is located in Catalonia and, with its pleasant temperatures and beautiful coastal towns, is a very suitable destination for children. Don’t you just want to lie on the beach during your holiday? That is convenient! Barcelona is also located in the Costa Brava and is therefore perfect for a trip. This city is full of Gaudí’s fabulous buildings, so not only you, but also your children will be amazed!
3. Gran Canaria
Going to Gran Canaria with the family? I would! Gran Canaria is one of the largest Canary Islands with an entire coastline full of fine sandy beaches. Playa del Inglés is located in the south and is completely aimed at tourists. The hotels here are fully equipped and ensure an unforgettable holiday for your children.
4. Algarve
You have probably seen them before: the impressive cliffs along the south coast of Portugal. In addition to these special beaches, the Algarve has much more to offer. For example, you can take a cruise along the Algarve coast in search of dolphins and hidden caves. For a day of water fun, go to Zoomarine. Go down the slides here or visit one of the dolphin shows. All in all, the great diversity of the Algarve ensures fun for everyone!
5. Tenerife
Another nice holiday island! Tenerife is also part of the Canary Islands and has been a popular holiday destination among families for years. They can always enjoy themselves here! Building sand castles on the beach or taking a cable car to the top of the El Teide volcano, for example. To cool down on a hot day, go to Siam Park. This water park has already been voted the best water park in the world four times. You can’t skip that, can you?!
6. Turkish Riviera
If you are looking for a fully catered family holiday at a great price, the Turkish Riviera is the place to be! You can enjoy All Inclusive or even Ultra All Inclusive in most hotels here. Because of the nice hotels, often with multiple slides, you don’t have to leave the resort for endless fun for everyone!
7. Lanzarote
Did you get it? We are fans of the Canary Islands! Lanzarote is the third Canary Island in this list, and for good reason. Lanzarote is slightly less touristy than Gran Canaria and Tenerife, but just as beautiful and has more than enough activities for the whole family! For example, on a trip to Timanfaya National Park you can learn all about the impressive volcanoes or spot the rare albino crabs in the volcanic cave Los Jameos del Agua.
8. Kos
Popular Greece cannot of course be left out of this list. And which Greek island is the best with children? There is a lot of choice, but Kos ranks high in our rankings due to the friendly atmosphere and small scale of the island. Because it is not that big, you don’t have to travel too long if you want to discover the island, which is a plus if you are on family holiday with children. Kos is known as a cycling island, so if you like a bit of exercise, you can all go on a fun trip here!
9. Lycian Coast
For a family holiday under the Turkish sun surrounded by beautiful nature, head to the Lycian Coast. With the many cities this region has to offer, we can understand that choosing is not easy; That’s why we’ll help you get started. Marmaris is a pleasant and vibrant city. For a little more peace and quiet you can go to Içmeler or the small-scale Turunc. Don’t worry about the children: here too they can enjoy themselves in the lovely child-friendly hotels, or they can join you on an adventure through the cultural treasures of this region.
10. Rhodes
The sunny island of Rhodes, which owes its name to the more than 260 days a year when the sun shines, is the 4th largest Greek island and is also a very child-friendly island. With the extensive beaches and picturesque villages such as Lindos, you can easily alternate the beach with culture. If you visit Rhodes in the summer months, it is worth taking a trip to the Butterfly Valley. You will not only spot a lot of butterflies here, but at the same time take a beautiful walk through nature.
Have we been able to make the choice easier for you, or does it become more difficult to choose a destination after seeing all these destinations? Regardless of the choice you make, your family holiday will be a guaranteed success!
