Get the inside track on your dream getaway in the sun

MAKE up for lost time and treat yourself to a family holiday you’ll remember forever. Those sun-soaked days you spend together are such a precious part of the family memories you create. And after such a long time at home, you all deserve a trip that is truly magical.

Imagine the look on their faces when they come face to face with an elephant in Thailand, or the squeals of delight as you zoom over sand dunes on a desert safari in Dubai. Perhaps you’d rather a touch of luxury with a sumptuous resort in the Caribbean? Or maybe a castaway experience on a pristine island escape in the Indian Ocean is just what you need.

Plan a trip for 2022 and the world is your oyster, whether you want action-packed adventure or a relaxing break.

Travelbag can plan the whole thing for you, suggesting unexpected destinatio­ns and hotels to suit every budget. They’ve been creating tailor-made trips for more than 40 years and just won a Best Family Holiday Company award at the latest British Travel Awards – testament to their amazing reviews on Feefo and Trustpilot. And their Covid Pledge, flexible booking policy and low deposits ensure you’ll be covered if your plans change. So why not let the experts at Travelbag help make this holiday one to remember.

A LITTLE LUXURY

If you’ve spent the past year dreaming of white sands and the sound of the sea gently lapping the shores, Travelbag has some great holiday ideas for the whole family.

Little ones can enjoy activities and kids’ clubs, splashing in the pool and trying new sports, while adults can make the most of a long-overdue break with relaxed resorts and amazing foodie experience­s.

Considerin­g a Greece break? Why not fly just two more hours and enjoy year-round sunshine and some of the world’s best family resorts in Dubai?

Or head to the Caribbean where powder-soft beaches await in the Dominican Republic, and after full days trying everything from kayaking to windsurfin­g, the kids can join you for al fresco family dinners and nights around the fire pit on the beach.

LOTS OF ADVENTURES

With turquoise seas filled with colourful marine life, Thailand is perfect for family adventures. From the island of Koh Samui to the protected coral reefs of Khao Lak, there are so many family-friendly resorts combining spectacula­r locations with exciting activities.

Or why not take the family on an epic American road trip? From the California coast to the music cities of the Deep South and Route 66, you can combine jaw-dropping scenery with great cultural stop-offs.

ROCK THE CARIBBEAN

Looking for a holiday that your teens will love? Then you want to combine an amazing destinatio­n with an awe-inspiring hotel.

Travelbag recommends the Hard Rock Hotel Cancun in Mexico, which combines Caribbean beaches with extras worthy of a rock star. Think basketball courts and a climbing wall, private water park Rockaway Bay, and the chance to borrow a Fender guitar to play in your room.

Grown-ups can enjoy the golf course, relax in the spa or retreat to the adults-only Heaven area, complete with three pools and four bars. And the whole family will love the dazzling choice of restaurant­s taking you on a culinary journey around the world.

Set on a beach of brilliant white sand with a lagoon-style pool and swim-up bars looking out over aquamarine Caribbean waters, this celebrity-worthy hotel has everything you need for an unforgetta­ble family holiday.

MAKE A SPLASH IN DUBAI

Treat yourself to a hotel that feels more like an Ottoman palace, with its sumptuous décor, private beach and endless sea views. Travelbag recommends the Jumeirah Zabeel Saray in Dubai for a holiday that will delight the whole family.

You can enjoy free, unlimited access to the Wild Wadi Waterpark ™ , with more than 30

slides and attraction­s, try kayaking, paddleboar­ding or waterskiin­g, or even improve your game with tennis lessons.

While children aged up to 16 enjoy the Sinbad’s Kids’ Club, with its own mini waterpark, climbing wall and gaming stations, parents can slip off for a treatment at the Talise Ottoman Spa or a round of golf at the Dubai Hills Golf Club.

There is a private cinema showing family-friendly films, an impressive variety of restaurant­s serving everything from pizzas by the beach to internatio­nal dishes in truly elegant surrounds, and with a spectacula­r infinity pool looking out to sea, you’ll love making memories at this elegant palace retreat.
