PARENTS & TEENS
SPORTS AND HOBBIES Pinpoint one of your child’s interests and build a weekend break around it. If you have an arty teen, jump on the Eurostar and explore the galleries and street art of Paris. Or, if you want more of a resort holiday where easily bored teens can go off and do their own thing, Sani Resort in Halkidiki, Greece, is one of the best. Older kids can safely head to the Sani Marina, where they’ll find Ozone, a teen club designed by Edje Architects, the company behind the Google offices in Greece. The house has an industrial beach theme and allows kids to socialise as well as enjoy supervised activities from 10am to 10pm. Tennis-mad teens may also like to try out a session or two at Sani’s new Rafa Nadal Tennis Academy. BOOK IT Sani Resort offers family suites with a grand balcony and sea view from £298 a night. Visit saniresort.gr. Fly to Thessaloniki from London Stansted with Ryanair from £148 return. Visit ryanair.com.
LOVE A CHALLENGE Thrill-seeking teens and brave parents can take the plunge (literally) and book a new coasteering holiday at The Valley in Cornwall. Find yourselves clambering through old smugglers’ caves, spotting incredible marine life and negotiating rapids before attempting adrenalinecharged sea-cliff jumps. There’s a first time for everything, and you’ll definitely bond with your teen on this trip! Holidays start from Towan Beach in Newquay, along a part of the Cornish coast that boasts some of the most ecologically diverse coasteering in Europe. Back at The Valley, ease tired muscles in the swimming pool and spa pool, or book a cottage with your own private hot tub.
BOOK IT A three-night beak costs from £675 in a two-bedroom cottage and includes a coasteering session.
