Travelling with babies and young children can be a daunting experience, but whether you are looking for luxury and childcare or simplicity and quality time, our clients have tested out the best places for you.

While club holidays of various kinds provide a range of childcare options with crèches and mini-clubs, we have found that it is more important that you stay at a hotel where the facilities and the professionalism of the staff cater for both your young children and your adult concerns.

This is the main reason why we book so many of our family clientele back to the same hotels year after year. The newly opened and luxurious Martinhal Beach Resort on the Western Algarve, the smaller and more contemporary Columbia Beach Resort on Cyprus's unspoilt south west coast, and the Piynar Villa Hotel on the southern coast of Turkey are among several that we know will match the expectations of both adults and young minds alike.

Going further afield can be a daunting task, but for our Family Trip along the Garden Routein South Africa we have chosen the best hotel for children, in our favourite locations. Each cater perfectly for families, and come wholly recommended for the under 10s.
