The hills are alive with the sound of children having fun at this gorgeous nature resort in the stunning Salzburg mountains. At Moar Gut, everything is designed with families in mind – this truly isn’t a place for child-free romantic breaks – and it’s a dream for the oh-so-lucky kinder who roam the five-star resort’s myriad attractions, fuelled by the offerings at the daily dessert buffet (fans of strudel will not be disappointed).  Owing to its location in the Austrian Alps, Moar Gut offers different experiences depending on the time of year. When the mountains of the Grossarl valley are covered in snow, the hotel enters winter wonderland mode and becomes a Christmassy base for skiing, snowboarding, sledding, tobogganing and horse-drawn sleigh rides, all with a firm emphasis on younger guests. In the summer, meanwhile, it’s the perfect base for activities such as hiking, horse-riding and paragliding, or just lazing round the pool. Regardless of when you visit, you could happily spend your holiday not leaving the resort. There’s tons to keep kids of all ages entertained, not to mention morning-to-night childcare, and surrounded by mountains it’s a chance to breathe in the revigorating alpine air and relax. Why stay at Moar Gut? Part of the appeal is that it’s a family business, run by the Kendlbachers for four generations. It’s charming and idiosyncratic, a million miles away from the predictability of a chain hotel. Originally a small inn on a dairy farm (as seen in the many

A ridiculously picturesque villa set in splendid isolation in the hills outside Kardamyli in the southern Peloponnese, Villa Antti is the owner’s passion project – and it shows. This minimalist haven has been so well designed and so beautifully thought through in every aspect that you immediately feel at home. As well as providing the perfect base for exploring the wonderful sweep of the Peloponnesian coast and its craggy, vine-strewn hinterland, it provides the ultimate location for a week or two of bone-deep relaxation and fun with your family. You can take the entire space for yourself, or invite another family to join you – it sleeps up to ten – and split the cost. There are two separate living areas and two kitchens so you can have your own spaces to retreat to before joining together around the pool. Why stay at Villa Antti? This is the place to come when you want all of the luxury of a five-star hotel but without the inconvenience of other guests, with their ill-disguised disapproval of your kids’ bellyflopping practice and their well-honed tactics for monopolising the best sunbeds. Here the villa, built from honey-coloured stone, is constructed around a 15m by 4.3m infinity pool that is yours, all yours – and you’d be forgiven for spending your entire break here, chain-reading potboilers on the sundeck as your kids splash about happily. Indeed, given the wonderful home comforts – including a ping pong table in the basement that can keep children occupied for hours – y

You know what you’re getting with a Canary Islands all-inclusive, right? Lukewarm buffets, plastic wristbands and a desperate 7am scramble for a sunbed. Paradisus Gran Canaria is the antidote to all that. Sitting right on the edge of San Agustín beach, it plays by a different set of rules. The resort, designed by Álvaro Sans’ ASAH studio, is all sleek lines and palm-fringed corners, while pre-breakfast sunbed-hogging is banned and all but one of the eateries are à la carte. With year-round sunshine on tap, you could spend your entire holiday horizontal by the infinity pool, but that would be a mistake. This is a resort that actually wants you to see something of Gran Canaria, using its ‘Destination Inclusive’ concept to both push you out into the island’s mountainous heart and draw in local experiences for you to try poolside. Why stay at Paradisus Gran Canaria? Paradisus Gran Canaria understands a universal travel truth: different people want wildly different things from the same holiday. Whether you’re a family with high-energy toddlers or a couple hunting for child-free zen, the resort is clever enough – and spacious enough – for you to rarely trip over each other. While the hotel is a cut above nearly everywhere else on this stretch of coast, it successfully avoids the stuffy, hushed atmosphere of traditional luxury. For those travelling with older kids, the YOURWAY programme is a standout; it keeps teens and tweens genuinely engaged with high-spec activities (think DJ wo

The Hillside Beach Club is a place that believes, when it comes to holidays, that more is more. A stay here isn’t a case of days spent kettled on the beach before trudging around a soulless buffet piling up lukewarm nuggets for the kids. This really is all in. A buzzing nightly buffet with live cooking stations and Turkish delights? Tick. À la carte restaurants for that special night? Tick. Spectacular Moulin Rouge-esque cabaret shows? Tick. Archery, football, darts and even bingo tournaments? Tick, tick, tick and full house. If you’re after a resort where you can simply flop by the sea and switch off, Hillside Beach Club delivers, but at this relaxed resort the more you put in, the more you get out. When we dropped the reserve and actually joined in – from hoverboarding across glass‑calm water to getting embarrassingly involved in a game of bingo – an entirely different type of family holiday opened up. With so much to do either separately or as a clan there’s an easy, upbeat rhythm to the day that nudges everyone into the unexpected and towards talk about something other than their screen usage over dinner. Why stay at Hillside Beach Club? Because it’s a rare all‑in‑one resort that pleases both loungers and doers. Tucked into a sheltered cove on Turkey’s Turquoise Coast – Dalaman airport is an hour’s drive away – it is delightfully self‑contained: private beaches, a backdrop of pine-covered hills and water so clear you can count the pebbles. Families will love the safe, soc

Trying to keep your teenagers’ screentime down to an acceptable level while making sure they remain happy and engaged on holiday can be exhausting. When you need a place full of inspiring outdoors activities that offer bigger dopamine hits than a Fortnite marathon, head for Moliets-et-Maa, a couple of hours’ drive north of the better-known Biarritz. Here you’ll find fantastic beaches and stunning forests, the perfect spot for your teens to lose themselves in surfing and cycling. And there’s no better family base for the break than Villas La Clairière aux Chevreuils, run by Summer France, which has eight villa and holiday apartment complexes in Moliets. Why stay at Villas La Clairière aux Chevreuils? They’re a home away from home – presuming your home is built around a delightfully sunsoaked private pool and terrace, of course – with between three and five bedrooms. Located an easy, two-kilometre bike ride from the centre of Moliets and its main beaches, this is a tranquil and attractive place to charge up your batteries before getting out into nature. Should a pooch be part of your family you can bring them along as the villas are dog friendly. What are the rooms like at Villas La Clairière aux Chevreuils? Clean and simple, with both double and twin options in the larger villas, where three of five of the rooms are ensuite. In each case the main part of the house has plenty of space for entertaining with a large living area that’s perfect for hanging out with family and frien

On the banks of the Daini Neya river, a short, quiet walk from Osaka’s famous 16th-century landmark, New Otani Osaka offers guests a bubble of tranquillity in an otherwise bustling city. And for those spending their evenings partying – or, to use a local expression, ‘eating themselves bankrupt’ – in Dotonbori, Osaka’s nightlife and street food hub, a return to the calm and quiet of the New Otani Osaka feels like a blessing. The emphasis here is very much on comfort. From the superior rooms with their views of Osaka Castle to the extra spacious deluxe rooms, the accommodation is always elegant, tastefully furnished and very comfortable. A series of renovated new options call on ancient Japanese style, with delicate paper screens, beautiful hinoki baths and a suite of welcome amenities including locally made sake. The hotel is ideally located for the city’s most popular tourist attractions and eateries, although hungry guests don’t need to leave the hotel’s spacious grounds – there are more than a dozen restaurants on-site, including upscale French eatery Sakura, elegant Chinese venue Taikan En and no fewer than six Japanese places specialising in everything from tempura to soba and sushi to sukiyaki. Keyaki, a teppanyaki restaurant on the top floor where skilled chefs flip meat and fish on the grill to a stunning backdrop of the Osaka skyline, is the highlight. The Osaka Expo runs until October 2025, and New Otani Osaka is ideally located for the mega-event. The journey on t

The Quinta do Lago estate within the beautiful Ria Formosa nature reserve is rapidly becoming a major centre of the Algarve for those looking for an all-in-one family break. After arriving at Faro airport, just a short drive away, you should check in at the charmingly retro, motel-style Magnolia Hotel for the perfect base to explore the area. Pick of the accommodation are the low-rise Family Cottages at the back (from €185 per night on a B&B basis): delightfully designed, set back from the main facility but only a short saunter away from the pool. Just next door to the sunloungers there’s a lovely and sociable bar, where new arrivals gather to get their bearings, grab some tips and play a game of pool over a nice cold Sagres. The focus at the Quinta is on activity, with a world-class golf course and direct access to a string of beautiful beaches. The real heart of the place, however, is The Campus, an upmarket leisure centre that has been beautifully designed for users to enjoy the outdoor life, with a stunning pool, a gym which spills out onto an open balcony so you can pump iron al fresco, bikes for hire and a platoon of tennis and padel courts.  Wise holidaymakers with kids will book them in for one of the Football Escapes academies that are run here regularly by former professional players (£550 per week for children aged 5-15 years old). They offer a lovely bit of wish fulfilment for any kid that loves their soccer: they will get their own branded shirt to play in, exper

Set on a private island in the Raa Atoll, the InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort is a five-star sanctuary that delivers the classic Maldivian fantasy – gin-clear waters, salt-white sand and a sense of serenity so profound it should be offered on prescription. But it also takes its eco credentials seriously, playing home to the Manta Trust, one of the world’s leading research organisations for one of the most fascinating creatures under the sea. The vibe Getting here is an event in itself. After touching down in Malé, guests board a 35-minute seaplane to the island, where staff greet you like an old friend (albeit one they’ll be waiting on hand and foot). There are just 81 villas, all spacious, modern (the resort only opened in 2019) and impeccably designed. Everyone gets a private pool; the most spectacular are at the overwater villas where the infinity pools seem to spill into the ocean.  The resort takes the concept of ‘all-inclusive’ seriously. Unlike most high-end Maldivian resorts, where extras can rack up faster than your Instagram likes, here the benefits are built in. That means all-day canapés, afternoon tea, free-flowing bubbly at sunset and evening drinks in bars and restaurants across the resort. Eating and drinking There are six dining options, each punching well above the usual resort fare. Café Umi is the all-day dining spot, serving up beautifully plated sushi and fresh seafood with ocean views. Fish Market, an open-air, feet-in-the-sand affair, comb

With Maldivian resorts in danger of becoming a little cookie cutter, Kandima is not afraid to do things differently. Set on a lush, three kilometer-long island in the Dhaalu Atoll and exuding laid-back cool, the resort is a world away from your standard honeymoon hideaway. It still has the hallmarks you’d expect – overwater villas, soft sand beaches, exquisite eateries – but with its own trick cards including its own go-kart track.  The vibe Unlike the many couple-centric retreats scattered across the Maldives, Kandima caters to a different crowd: a mix of families, solo travellers, couples and groups who want their slice of paradise with a side of fun. Think less ‘whispered sweet nothings over candlelit dinners’ and more ‘ice cream carts, coconut painting and competitive games of pool volleyball’. The island itself is one of the longest in the Maldives, which means there’s space to breathe – and to do more than just lounge in an overwater hammock. With 270 studios and villas, it’s one of the biggest resorts in the region, but thanks to clever design, it never feels crowded and the on-hand bikes open up the entire island. Accommodation ranges from budget-friendly studios to sprawling overwater villas with infinity pools and private decks. Eating and drinking There are ten restaurants and bars on the island. Flavour and Zest are the buffet-style mainstays, where live cooking stations dish up everything from Maldivian curries to sushi. For something more intimate, Sea Dragon se
