And RN we’re making the most of being able to go on holiday with our kids without being fined five million pounds. Thanks to Tiny Travelship, we’ve found you the best deals out there. But move fast, these offers won’t last long… £ Budget Boutique in Crete Weather in September: 27 degrees Village Heights Resort, Crete Cheap and chic don’t often go hand-in-hand, but Village Heights proves big, beautiful, things can come with small price tags. Nestled high in the mountains, spacious self catered suites, apartments and villas are dotted around a rurally resplendent resort. With a focus on Cretan culture, this is a hotel that leans into locality, whilst also delivering on fabulous family facilities; kitchenettes are complemented by six (!) onsite restaurants, with the choice of all inclusive packages; there’s a FREE Kids Club (3+), which in a stroke of genius runs until 10pm; 2 child-friendly pools; a serene spa; and, aggro-avoiding location, only 20 minutes from the airport 1st-8th September £1,138 in a Family Suite with Kitchenette £ Budget Boutique in Tenerife Weather in September: 28 degrees Kora Nivaria Beach, Tenerife So you’ve had a kid, that doesn’t automatically mean you’ve lost all sense of style and want to trade in boujee boutique boltholes for package holidays, right? Birthing a babe shouldn’t give Google carte blanche to fill your hotel search results with larger-than-life mascots & blander-than-beige buffets. Blissfully unblemished by high rise hotels, the small coastal village of Abades in the South of Tenerife, is a mere 4 minute meander from Kora Nivaria Beach – a chic coastal complex delivering the facilities of a sprawling stay, minus any eyesores. Seeking to be a holistic home-from-home, Kora Nivaria Beach has a flexible first approach to family holidays; the spacious apartments come complete with fully equipped kitchens, but there’s also an onsite cafe, should the no-dishes-desire strike; children are welcome to splash about in the picturesque pools, or check into the complimentary Kids Club (4+); whilst mummy ‘me time’ can be taken in Downward Dog (thanks to the complimentary daily yoga classes) 15th-22nd September £663 in a 2 Bedroom Apartment ££ Sensible Spending in Turkey Weather in September 32 degrees Hillside Beach Club, Turkey If there’s one hotel guaranteed to convert foodies to a full board holiday it’s Hillside Beach Club in Turkey. Chiselled into pine-peppered cliffs, overlooking a twinkling private bay, this Aegan abode is the poster child for the redemption of resort restaurants. Dine on barbecued meats, just caught fish, a melody of mezzes and traditional Turkish delights, over long, leisurely lunches. Feasting aside, the well conceived set up makes for the ultimate hassle-free holiday. There’s a babypark for children under three; ‘Kidside’ (4+) complete with waterslides and workshops; and, Broadway-grade evening entertainment. Want to know our favourite part? The designated spots for grown ups. Trust us, when you’ve successfully dispatched your kids to the Kids Club the last thing you want is for your rare downtime to be to the soundtrack of someone else’s offspring. Aptly named (and adult-only) Silent and Serenity Beach are as close as it gets to heaven on earth 28th September – 5th October £2,642 in a Superior Double Room with Large Terrace, on Full Board ££ Sensible Spending in Crete Weather in September: 27 degrees Domes of Elounda, Crete If we’re talking luxury family holidays with bulletproof childcare, that won’t break the bank, the Domes group is the name to know. Elounda, their flagship hotel, is our pick for location, location, location. A short 20 minute stroll from picturesque Plaka (the gateway to storied Spinalonga), there’s plenty of traditional Tavernas to taste test, although with 4 restaurants on site there’s little reason to leave. Exclusively a ‘suites and villas’ only outpost, it’s impossible to go wrong with room choices. All home-from-homes here boast private pools or al fresco jacuzzis. When it comes to childcare it would be quicker to list what’s not provided than what is (read: nothing!). There’s a chargeable creche from 4 months, complimentary Kids Club from 4, babysitting, plethora of parental paraphernalia provided and an elevated take on evening entertainment. We’re talking puppet performances, under-the-star cinema nights and bubble shows 5th – 12th October £2,758 in a Premium One Bedroom Suite with Sea View £££ Splash the Cash in Cyprus Weather in September 29 degrees Anassa, Cyprus Thanks to a stretched out summer, a shoulder-season soiree to Cyprus makes a lot of sense, especially when you know there’s a heated children’s pool awaiting mini mermaids at the end. A well-established favourite for adult aesthetes, this Mediterranean marvel is a unicorn amongst grown up getaways. Expect opulent interiors, mesmerising sea views and impeccably groomed grounds. The serenely conceived spaces encourage an uninterrupted state of Zen, but far from being grown ups only this is one of Europe’s top tier hotels for families. The Kids Club starts at 4 months +; restaurants come complete with children’s menus and early dinner sittings; and, the Baby Go Lightly service makes packing a breeze. The spa here is undoubtedly a stand out, but so is the seasoned service from staff and fine dining dishes. If you’re looking for the latest word in luxury, that includes your bouncing-off-the-wall brood, we think we’ve just found the answer.. 7th – 14th October £5,133 in Interconnecting Studio Suites £££ Splash the Cash in Puglia Weather in September 25 degrees Borgo Egnazia, Puglia Resolving resort-phobia for parents who seek style & substance, Puglia’s Borgo Egnazia may just be the prettiest hotel in the Med. Rest assured, glorious good looks are matched with faultless family facilities here. We’re talking a Kids Club 3+ (where the number of staff:children ratio puts most nurseries to shame); family friendly pool; exceptional babysitters; ‘teen’ room; and, picture-perfect playground. Delivering Disney-esque levels of fairytale fantasy, superlative swimming pools and romantic restaurants are found dotted between Arabian arches, trickling foundations and limestone lodgings. Challenging the traditional tropes of family focused hotels, parents are treated to Michelin-star cuisine and evening entertainment steeped in local culture 5th-12th October £9,979 in 2 Bedroom Apartment Find Your Next Holiday With Tiny Travelship A New Holiday Search Service Giving Google Maps a serious glow up, Tiny Travelmap is a new service by Tiny Travelship, which features every single recommendation they’ve ever shared on @tinytravelship, allowing their members to explore thousands of visited and verified hotels, hotspots and hangouts around the world.
