WHERE TO GO: BAHAMAS There’s nothing better than a beach vacation for the ultimate in relaxation. But there’s a lot more to the Bahamas than just soft white sand and sparkling turquoise waters. At this island paradise, your family can enjoy nature tours, afternoons on horseback, make friends with marine life, and explore some of the interesting sites scattered around the island. At the Bahamian Heritage Centre, kids can learn more about the island’s culture while grandparents can reconnect with their own histories, browsing through some of the centuries-old artefacts on display. Stingray City gives everyone the chance to experience a first-hand encounter with rays – swimming, snorkelling, feeding, and more amongst these gentle giants. Or, get active at the Lucayan National Park with a kayak journey through an inland reef and a guided walk through the park’s caves. WHERE TO STAY: ONE&ONLY OCEAN CLUB BAHAMAS Inspired by the intricate gardens of Versailles, this beautiful estate has a rich history dating back to the 1930s. Today, the European-style property offers abundant entertainment for the whole family – diving, snorkelling, tennis, golf, and even complimentary bicycles for a little island exploration – and One&Only’s family package allows parents to customise the perfect multi-generational holiday. Experience the Caribbean waters with a cruise on a luxury yacht sans the pirates or an expedition on a deep-sea fishing charter. The resort offers half-day to overnight trips where your family can explore the breathtaking reefs, cays, and coves that surround the island – and, if you’re lucky, catch an amberjack or a blue marlin. And, when you’re not off on a group adventure, the KidsOnly Club will keep kids aged four to 12 engaged all day long. The elegant beachfront suites, with traditional Bahamian décor that inspires calm and relaxation, feature private patios where the family can enjoy some peace and quiet while taking in the spectacular view. Two-bedroom luxury suites provide all the comforts of home – steps away from a white sand beach. WHERE TO GO: TURKEY For an enriching experience, there’s no better place to go than Turkey. Your kids won’t even realise how much they’re learning as you explore the fascinating history and rich culture that can be found throughout the Turkish Mediterranean. From the Great Theatre of Ephesus to the underground cave cities of Cappadocia, there is plenty to discover – or, float above this spectacular landscape in a hot air balloon. Even with an extensive list of places to see and activities to indulge in, Turkey is also the perfect destination for a relaxing, laid back family holiday. With plenty of beaches, pools, and waterfalls, kids can splash to their hearts’ content, and grandparents will love the fresh air – fragrant with a blend of wild herbs, jasmine, and fresh citrus. Turkey is an extraordinary destination with glorious landscapes – even the Romans were compelled to create another capital here. WHERE TO STAY: MANDARIN ORIENTAL BODRUM Nestled in the idyllic and private Paradise Bay, in an area known as the ‘St. Tropez of Turkey,” this luxury five-star retreat caters to the whole family. Despite its size, the Mandarin Oriental provides unmatched privacy – in fact, you might even miss that you’re in a hotel. Despite a relaxed, easy-going atmosphere that kids will love, the resort is elegant enough for older guests to appreciate its sophistication. World Travel 27
