The One With the Epic Kids’ Club

Rocco Forte’s Verdura
Rocco Forte’s Verdura

A boredom-busting break like no other, Rocco Forte’s Verdura resort is the name to know for parents of little Duracell bunnies whose batteries never seem to tire. Opening during school holidays, Verduland in the hotel’s supersized (and FREE to attend) Kids Club. Hotel mascot Verdu, the hedgehog, leads the educational, experiential activities – which include astrology, mythology, pottery, yoga, cookery lessons, sports and (much, much) more. Parents aren’t forgotten either, thanks to championship golf courses (plural!), a private beach, four restaurants, and a glug of excellent Etna wine. It’s hard to crown a star of this Sicilian show – the lounger-lined & lifeguard-watched outdoor pool, sanctuary-like spa, and slick service are all exceptional

The One That Feels Like a Honeymoon

Les Roches Rouges
Les Roches Rouges

We’re not ashamed to admit that we love a camera-roll-filling, ‘omg where did you stay?!’ inducing, insta iconic type of hotel. If we go on a holiday and don’t flood our stories, was it even a holiday? Les Roches Rouges’ superior saltwater swimming pool is guaranteed to rack up the likes. Ninety minutes from Nice, perched prettily on the rocks of Saint Raphaël, Les Roches Rouges delivers the glitz and glamour of the French Riviera in a more laid-back, luxurious setting. With movie-set styling at every turn, it’s easy to assume this retro retreat was adults-only, but (lucky for us) that’s far from the case. Spacious suites are within baby monitor stretch of the restaurant, highchairs are aplenty, and babes are treated to their own toiletries and little bears to remember their stay. We promise a picture-perfect paradise awaits

Design hotels are two a-penny nowadays, but hotels designed by the Artistic Director of Dior Maison herself, not so much. Fashionistas will soon be flocking to Abbaye Des Vaux De Cernay in their droves – so get there now while it’s still a hidden hotspot. Imagine Hogwarts and Soho House had a baby, and you’ll start to get the pretty picture. The sprawling grounds are brimming with activities, from sailing, swimming and horse riding to snoozing in the cinema room or getting your gaming on. Gourmands will delight at the three restaurants, whilst serenity seekers make themselves at home in the spoiling spa. There’s also a gorgeous Kids Club in collaboration with Tartine et Chocolat for les enfants aged 3 +

The One With Michelin-Star Dining

Amara Hotel
Amara Hotel

If the idea of beige buffets turns your stomach, you’re not alone. Yes, we may be travelling with tiny humans, but that doesn’t mean we left our taste buds behind at boarding. Amara Hotel in Cyprus is on a mission to help guests enjoy the finer things in life. Nowhere is this more deliciously demonstrated than at the collection of Michelin-starred restaurants, where gourmands of all ages can chow down on world-class Italian, Japanese and Mediterranean fare. Chefs will happily adapt their dishes to suit tiny taste buds, leading the way in fine dining for families. Food aside, there’s an excellent (free) Kids Club for those 4+ and chargeable creche for babes 18 months +. Boujee dinners AND complimentary childcare – we’re salivating at the thought….
