A trending family resort is usually on point for a good reason, and this Kenwood Travel collection proves that conclusively. So if it’s time to hunt the cool, here’s where to look right now.
One&Only Le Saint Géran, Mauritius
One&Only Le Saint Géran, Mauritius: working the private Indian Ocean island trend
Why is One&Only Le Saint Géran a trending family resort? Let’s start with its location on a private peninsula, which means you get the best of a secluded island retreat, alongside all the right connections: Mauritius Airport is under an hour’s drive away.
It’s also one of the lucky resorts in the northwest of Mauritius, which will always be on-trend because it combines the fun and excitement of nearby Grand Baie with the island’s more peaceful coast.

Take your pick of two and three bedroom suites at this trending family resort
Luck of location aside, families particularly like the range of two and three bedroom suites here, with a choice of gorgeous ocean or lagoon views, as well as a clever blending of indoor and outdoor space that lets you experience the beauty of your surroundings all holiday long.

Your own stunning Indian Ocean beach and the rest of Mauritius within easy reach
Speaking of surroundings, One&Only Le Saint Géran sits on its own stunning beach, edged by the calm, coral-reef-rich waters of the Indian Ocean. So if you want to simply enjoy the weather, feel free: the fully supervised kids’ club for four to 12 year olds, gives you time for that.
Alternatively – and with older kids this might be more of an option – the resort offers all sorts of activities from kayaking and padel to Secret Mangrove Tours in the lagoon.
La Pointe, beachside restaurant
Great food is always trending at a choice of six restaurants and bars
As we said, the resort mixes seclusion with great connections, so exploring Mauritius is easy, and should definitely be on your to-do list.
Although when it comes to restaurants, One&Only Le Saint Géran gives you plenty of reasons to stay home, from cool coffee shop vibes at L’Artisan to overwater Tapasake’s Japanese fusion served with lagoon views.
The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai, trending family resort
The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai: heart of the on trend Marina District
The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai sits right at the heart of the Marina District, so it was born to be a trending family resort.
As well as, arguably the Emirate’s coolest location, this five-star luxury hotel also comes with lush, tropical gardens, swimming pools and waterfalls, and with its own private beach.
Of course, Ritz Kids is at home here too, so you can take time off parenting duty to explore the city, soothe in the spa or simply do nothing much at all, in the sun, by the pool, or on the beach.
Tamoka Restaurant, The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai
The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai has some of the Marina District’s coolest restaurants
All-day dining at Caravan is another reason families like this resort. Although you really are spoiled on the food front with a choice of eight restaurants and bars in total.
There’s even a tented Bedouin village during winter, which serves authentic Arab cuisine with fabulous views of Dubai’s iconic cityscape.

The trending family resort where families are clearly treasured guests
You can’t help feeling that families are especially treasured guests here, not least because of the range of accommodation dedicated to them.
Interconnecting Family Rooms give you separate sleeping and living space. Alternatively, two-bedroom Club Family Rooms give you the luxury of two bathrooms as well. There are also two-bedroom Family Suites with their own sun lounge. Or you have the option of Club Family Suites, again with two bedrooms and a choice of mesmerising views.

Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin, Thailand
Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin, Thailand
Thailand is always on point for families, but we’ve noticed a slight change of pattern over the past few years. Thailand’s islands are enduringly popular, but this year, if you want a truly trending family resort in Thailand, you should think about the mainland too.
The trending family resort with royal connections
Hua Hin has been trending since the 1920s, when King Rama VII discovered it, idyllically set on the coast only a couple of hours south of Bangkok, and transformed it from a small, fishing village into a heavenly seaside resort: the Thai royal family still holiday here today.
Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin sits right on the coast and is almost as magnificent as its location. Think grand, early 20th century beach resort looks, plus absolutely everything you could wish for in a 21st century, 5-star luxury hotel.
Pool, Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin
Kids of all ages love it here, from pool fun to night market buzz
Naturally the resort is bliss for younger kids, right down to putting greens and an adventure playground, four swimming pools and 32-acres of gardens, edged by a private beach.
Older ones will love the location minutes from buzzy Hua Hin – the city’s night market is teen heaven. Although parents have plenty to be happy about here too, from an opulent on-site spa to championship golf courses nearby.
A trend for family rooms and suites with extra space, and private pools
Can you be a trending family resort these days without a huge choice of rooms and suites? Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin certainly doesn’t think so, as its range stretches from enormous Family Rooms and Family Rooms with Pool Terraces through to Duplex Suites.
The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama
The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama: one of the most iconic hotels in Spain
The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama has been a trending family resort since it first opened its palatial doors on the west coast of Tenerife, it’s easily one of the most iconic hotels in Spain, and not just because it looks incredible.

The trending family resort where Michelin Stars shine day and night
For a start it’s the dream resort if you want to be ahead of the curve on the food front, with no fewer than 10 restaurants and bars, a galaxy of Michelin-starred chefs and just about every mood covered from chilled Beach Club to elegant M.B. Although there’s a high chance kids will fall for easy-going El Mirador with its sea-view terraces and infinity pool.
The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama
Dedicated family pools, exclusive beaches and Ritz Kids Club
On the subject of pools, The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama has several, including a dedicated family pool. If that’s not enough dedication for you, the resort also features one and two-bedroom suites with private pools, as well as Family Rooms with ocean views: the Atlantic beats all pools on the stunning west coast of Tenerife.
The world famous Ritz Kids Club is another reason children feel particularly at home here, and it also gives parents time to enjoy the 72-par championship golf course nearby, opt for lessons at the Tennis Academy or try the indulgent spa.

The luxury of your own space and privacy, plus impeccable Ritz-Carlton service
All-round indulgence is another reason this is always a trending family resort. Extra space and privacy are luxuries built into the retreat collection where families have exclusive pool and lounge access, as well as the impeccable service of Retreat Ambassadors.
All rooms and suites feature marble bathrooms, enormous beds and floor-to-ceiling windows to let you enjoy more of your chosen views.
