Here’s where to go.
Daois Cove, Crete
Daios Cove, Crete, Greece
Greece’s largest island has it all – ancient gorges, mountain villages, legendary beaches and some of the warmest, most welcoming hospitality in the Mediterranean. For families, it strikes a near-perfect balance with enough to explore and discover but at a relaxed pace that never feels rushed.
Within Crete, few addresses match Daios Cove. Tucked into a secluded bay on the island’s northern coast, the resort looks out over some of the most startlingly blue water you’ll find anywhere in Greece. Days here have a natural rhythm: morning swims, leisurely lunches and children fully occupied with the Explorers programme while parents unwind.
Save up to 30% with £500 flight credit included when booking a Suite or Villa for a minimum of seven nights. There’s also a complimentary upgrade from Half Board to Full Board on selected rooms.
The Romanos, Costa Navarino
Costa Navarino, Greece – The Romanos & The Westin
The Peloponnese is a mainland region of rugged coastline, ancient ruins and olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see. It’s quieter than Greece’s islands, richer in history and blessed with a natural beauty that feels unspoiled. For families, it offers something the more well-trodden parts of Greece can struggle to deliver: space, calm and a real sense of place.
Costa Navarino sits at the heart of this landscape, home to two exceptional hotels – The Westin and The Romanos – both with direct beach access, world-class facilities and an Explorers Kids Club that children never want to leave. Expect delicious food, clear warm water and more activities than you could fit into a fortnight.

Eagles Resort, Halkidiki, Greece
Eagles Resort, Halkidiki, Greece
Tucked into the northeastern corner of Greece, the Halkidiki peninsula is where Greeks themselves go on holiday. Three dramatic fingers of land jut into the Aegean, each with its own character. Visitors can expect pine forests running right down to the water’s edge, secluded coves and a quieter, less commercialised version of the Greek island experience.
Eagles Resort sits within this landscape and rewards those who seek it out. The setting is dramatic, with mountain backdrops and a stretch of coastline that feels away from it all. A Blue Flag beach, Explorers kids club programme utilising the resort’s exceptional facilities and stunning beachfront setting, padel courts, dive and watersports centre keep everyone busy.
Save up to 30% on your stay, with up to 50% off Half Board or the Bon Vivant dine-around offering.
Pine Cliffs, Algarve, Portugal
Pine Cliffs, Algarve, Portugal
Not all great family summers happen in Greece. The Algarve has long been one of Europe’s favourite family destinations. With reliable sunshine, safe beaches, short flight times from the UK and a warmth that extends well into September, it ticks almost every box for a stress-free summer holiday.
Pine Cliffs sits right at the heart of it, perched on the famous burnt-red cliffs and earning its reputation year after year. With exceptional sporting facilities, Annabel Croft Tennis Academy and watersports – boredom simply doesn’t get a look-in. Along with Scott Dunn’s purpose-built Explorers space tailored to all ages and with the resort’s amazing facilities at their disposal, including golf, swimming, high ropes, surfing and padel, there’s something for every young explorer to enjoy.

Sun Gardens Dubrovnik, Croatia
Sun Gardens Dubrovnik, Croatia
Croatia has been one of Europe’s most talked-about family destinations for years, with its combination of a dramatic limestone coastline, crystal-clear Adriatic water and rich history. Dubrovnik itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; its marble streets and ancient city walls are among the most beautiful in Europe and in summer the city comes alive with open-air concerts and cultural events, making for a memorable family day out.
Sun Gardens Dubrovnik sits just a short drive from Dubrovnik Old Town, set along the shoreline of the Dubrovnik Riviera. Three beautiful pools, NUKU beach club, dedicated Sports Academies, decadent restaurants and spacious private residences that are perfect for families.
