Summer holidays are a British institution. With the rest of the winter ahead of us before the kids break up from school, you may be thinking about your next summer holiday. From beach-side resorts to villas in the sun, we have compiled the best summer holidays for you and your family to look forward to.
1. Malta
If you are looking for an unspoilt island retreat, Malta’s gorgeous coastline is perfect for family holidays. Malta is one of the safest countries in Europe, and its island has an incredibly low crime rate, with little pickpocketing or theft. This means that its coastlines contain the perfect beaches for children to play on, and you can spend your holiday happy that your children are in no danger. Public transport around the island is also extremely cheap, and the buses form an extensive network allowing you to venture outside of the capital, Valletta. For the best accommodation option for your family stay, you should consider renting Villas in Malta for the duration of your stay, as these will allow you to have your own space and ensure that you will be able to enjoy your holiday at your own pace. Additionally, their multi-purposekitchens will allow you to save money on expensive restaurant food by cooking the local cuisine at home, whilst also catering to potential fussy eaters in your life.
2. Bali, Indonesia
Bali in Indonesia is renowned for being incredibly cheap all year round, and can even cost below £20 a day, per person. Accommodation in Bali varies in quality. However, it is possible to find hotels and family hostels for under £3 a night. Not only is Bali cheap, but there is also a large range of tourist activities and attractions that your children will love, including the Bali Treetop Adventure Park and the Bali Safari Marine Life Park, making Bali an extremely entertaining place for kids. Bali is also a great place to immerse your children in a different culture and allow them to try new cuisines. Most areas of Bali are safe for children, and the North has a number of family friendly resorts that arrange in-house activities for children.
Sunny Beach is a great destination for both young couples and families. With a three course meal costing less than £20 a day, it is no wonder that Bulgaria is a sought after holiday destination for 2019. With highs in the summer holidays reaching above 28 Celsius, Sunny Beach is an excellent resort to sunbathe the day away, whilst letting your kids play off the shore. Sunny Beach is built for families, and this resort town is home to a race track, beach rides, and a water park to cool off on hot days. With this amount of activities, there is something for every member of your family to enjoy, allowing everyone to have a relaxing break in the sun.
4. Costa Del Sol, Spain
The Costa Del Sol is one of the traditional coastlines of family holidays, and it is easy to see why: affordable prices, all year round sunshine, and warm oceans provide the perfect base for a family holiday. As well as being able to spend your days lounging on the beach whilst the kids build sandcastles, the Costa Del Sol is also home to Tivoli World, a large theme park with fair rides and beautiful grounds, as well as Bioparc Feungirola, a natural, state-of-the-art zoo that can make a great family day trip. The Costa Del Sol is also perfectly safe for families, apart from the risk of petty theft, allowing you and your family to have an enjoyable and safe stay for the duration of your visit.
5. Cyprus
Cyprus, costing £74 pounds a day on average to visit, is a vibrant and verdant holiday destination for families, and the town of Pernera is brimming with family-friendly resorts and activities for you to enjoy. One of the best things to do with kids in Cyprus is to go horse riding in Paphos– each session will give your children introductory lessons to help them if they are complete beginners, whilst you can be safe within the knowledge that the ranch’s routes are completely safe and well-travelled before your kids can explore them. Additionally, restaurants are great for families in Cyprus as they are normally child friendly and provide a children’s menu.
Finding the best destination to suit everyone in your families’ interests can be difficult. However, this list of family-friendly destinations will ensure that you have an affordable, safe and enjoyable holiday with an array of exciting activities and beautiful beaches to keep all the family occupied.
