The pressure of planning a perfect family holiday increases when your children become teenagers. No longer content with trips to theme parks or days at the beach with a bucket and spade, more consideration is needed to keep them engaged on holiday.
Although it may feel like your children are at the awkward stage of being too old for kids clubs and too young for nightclubs, this is a unique opportunity to take your family to far-flung destinations that will expand their horizons. We’ve rounded up the best.
Nepal
Take your family for a holiday along the legendary “Everest Trail” where they can explore the capital Kathmandu, enjoy the incredible views and learn about the country’s culture. For a unique experience spend a couple of nights at the Kopan Monastery.
India
Journey to Kerala, one of India’s most southerly regions with nearly 600km of idyllic shoreline on the Arabian Sea. Keep your family amused by staying on a luxury houseboat and observing the rich wildlife.
Kenya
Perfect for a family getaway, a safari is a trip of a lifetime. And for safari, you can’t beat going to Kenya. With its rolling plains, acacia trees and starry skies, Kenya is an iconic destination. The Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge is ideally located for visits to the Tsavo West National Park.
Costa Rica
Take your family off the beaten track by staying at the Pacuare Jungle Lodge in Costa Rica’s Caribbean coast. From May this year you will be able to fly directly from Gatwick to the country’s capital San Jose, making your journey far easier.
Lapland
Plan a winter break at the world famous Ice Hotel, which is located 200km north of the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland. Make the most of your incredible surroundings by venturing out on a wilderness excursion and going dogsledding.
