There are many reasons parents rave about Sani, and most of them boil down to one simple thing: it makes travelling with babies and toddlers feel genuinely easy. Set on a private peninsula in northern Greece, the resort is calm, spacious and meticulously organised by a mega professional team – exactly what you want when your travel companion requires naps on schedule and snacks on demand. Paths are flat and blissfully buggy-friendly, beaches (all seven of them!) are sandy and safe, and everything feels intuitively designed for families finding their feet with holidays
Easter is a particularly lovely time to go. By April, Greece is already warming up nicely, with daytime temperatures hovering in the high teens to low twenties. It’s perfect for long lunches outdoors, gentle beach walks and pool splashing – without the sticky heat that leaves babies grumpy and parents wilted. Spring also brings fewer crowds, which means sunshine without the sensory overload. Win, win
Sani isn’t just one hotel, but a collection of them – Sani Beach, Porto Sani, Sani Club and Sani Dunes – each with its own personality, but all impressively family-friendly. Spacious family rooms and suites are the norm, many with separate sleeping areas (because nap time is sacred). Want even more space? There are larger suites and private residences, some with their own pools. Even better, baby kit like cots, baby baths, sterilisers and bottle warmers can all be pre-requested, meaning you can leave half the nursery at home
Food is another big win. With more than 20 restaurants across the resort, there’s everything from relaxed beachside tavernas to glossy fine-dining spots. All are linked by buggy-friendly paths or an easy shuttle service, and restaurants are wonderfully child-aware. Highchairs are always available, and kids’ menus – designed by Annabel Karmel, MBE – mean mealtimes don’t have to involve emergency bread rolls and mild panic
Then there’s the childcare, which is where Sani really shines. The professionally run, Ofsted-standard crèche welcomes babies from just a few months old, with highly trained staff, low ratios and routines built around naps and feeds. For parents, that means guilt-free spa visits, lounger reclining or a swim that lasts longer than five minutes
Prefer to stay close? The much-loved ‘Babewatch’ service lets trained staff keep an eye on your little one at the beach or pool while you relax nearby. Evening babysitting is also available, so sunset cocktails and grown-up dinners are firmly back on the agenda
Getting there is refreshingly painless too. Direct flights from the UK to Thessaloniki take around three and a half to four hours, followed by a 45-minute to one-hour transfer. No stress, no mental gymnastics, just holiday mode, which begins fast. Bliss
Interested in booking? Not only do Tiny Travel Agency match the price you’d get by going direct, but we can help you unlock extra perks! We will also reserve everything for you, in advance – for free! Because the best restaurants and childcare slots need to be nabbed before you arrive
Mauritius is one of those rare long-haul destinations that genuinely works with a baby. Direct overnight flights from the UK mean little ones can sleep through a good chunk of the journey (a small miracle), while the modest four-hour time difference helps keep routines mostly intact once you land. No extreme jet lag, no exhausted parents – always a good start. Easter is an especially lovely time to visit Mauritius. By then the intense summer heat has eased, meaning it’s balmy rather than scorching, which makes all the difference when travelling with a tiny human
For a stress-free stay, Le Telfair Heritage Resort is a brilliant choice. Set on the beautifully unspoilt Bel Ombre estate in the south of the island, it combines postcard-worthy scenery with tasteful architecture and well considered family facilities. It’s luxurious without being OTT and very, very relaxed
At the heart of the resort is the excellent Baby Timomo Club, which really sets Le Telfair apart. Unlike many hotels where childcare starts at age three or four, this one is designed specifically for babies. The space is calm, cool and thoughtfully laid out, with soft-play areas, sensory toys, air-conditioned nap rooms and trained carers who understand baby routines. Open daily from 08:30 to 15:30, it gives parents the option for some time to themselves. Older children aren’t forgotten either. The Timomo Kids Club runs daily programmes filled with crafts, beach games, treasure hunts and nature-based adventures around the estate
The resort itself is nicely spread out, with multiple swimming pools – including family-friendly options – and calm beaches with shallow waters that are ideal for first paddles and sandy explorations. Parents can switch off at the award-winning spa, championship golf course or state-of-the-art fitness centres. Or simply find a shady spot under a palm tree to watch the world go by while little ones make the most of the kids’ club
Family rooms and suites offer plenty of space for cots (which the hotel provides), buggy parking and all the paraphernalia that comes with travelling with a baby. Many rooms also feature separate living areas or sofa beds for older children, plus balconies or terraces overlooking the gardens or sea – perfect for evening wind-downs once bedtime is done.
Le Telfair offers a mix of relaxed buffets and à la carte restaurants, so you can keep things casual or dress up a little, depending on the day you’ve had. Highchairs are always available, staff are genuinely welcoming to children, and kitchens are happy to adapt dishes, warm bottles or prepare simple baby-friendly meals
Beyond the kids’ clubs, family activities are naturally woven into the resort experience – from gentle boat trips and beach play to nature walks and cultural experiences. Or, just as importantly, there’s ample space to do very little at all. Which, with a baby in tow, can feel like the ultimate luxury on holiday
Sometimes you just want the ease of a packing up the car and heading off. Cornwall is a brilliant choice for a UK staycation at Easter, especially when travelling with a baby. It delivers that much-need sense of escape without the faff of airports and delays. By spring, the days are longer, the air is fresh and mild, and the beaches feel spacious rather than summer-busy – perfect for coastal walks with a pram and those all-important first bucket-and-spade outings.
And Watergate Bay Hotel is the ideal base from which to enjoy it all. Set right on the edge of one of Cornwall’s most famous beaches, this five-star resort is effortlessly relaxed and thoughtfully designed with families in mind. It manages to feel stylish with a cool surfy vibe, but still laid-back enough that kids don’t feel at all out of place
For parents of little ones, the real standout is the excellent Kids’ Zone. Babies from around three months up to four years can take part in tailored sessions, with dedicated baby-friendly time slots focusing on gentle sensory play, music, movement, rhymes and calm interaction, all led by experienced, qualified staff. Older children aged four to 12 have their own programme that dials up the energy, with beach games, crafts, cookery workshops, science experiments and film nights. Best of all, it’s flexible, so families can dip in and out rather than commit to full days. Check out the surf school for lesson and wetsuit hire if want to give surfing or body boarding a go. Then head to sauna or the spa for a massage afterwards
There’s a wide choice of spacious family suites with separate bunk rooms, interconnecting rooms, beach lofts with sea views and village apartments with handy kitchenettes. Highchairs are never far away, and thoughtful extras such as in-room baby monitoring mean parents can enjoy dinner nearby while still keeping an eye on their sleeping baby – small detail, big difference
Food is another star. The Beach Hut, right on the sand, is perfect for jolly lunches, serving burgers, fish, shawarma and plenty of child-friendly options. The Living Space offers easy-going, stylish dining with flexible menus that work for both adults and children, while Zacry’s on the Sea Wall delivers a more refined experience, showcasing seasonal Cornish produce alongside a dedicated children’s menu
Beyond the Kids’ Zone, Watergate Bay’s heated Swim Club pool includes a shallow area ideal for babies and toddlers, while the wide, sandy beach becomes the ultimate family playground. Gentle paddling, rock-pool exploring and windswept coastal adventures await. In short, Watergate Bay Hotel is exactly what you want from a UK beach break at Easter – hassle-free, family-friendly and wonderfully restorative. And best of all, no passports required
The Anassa in Cyprus is a real showstopper. This five-star hotel is tucked above a peaceful, sandy cove on the northwest coast, with sparkling turquoise water and rugged hills as your backdrop. But families keep coming back year after year for more than the views. For over 25 years it has been building it’s reputation as one of the best family-friendly hotels in Europe
Expect to find the most immaculate and well equipped rooms. You can stay in substantial interconnecting suites or private villas, many with separate living areas and some even with private pools. The clever Baby Go Lightly pre-arrival service means you can order everything from cots to swimming nappies ahead of time and have it waiting in your room. Less luggage, less stress, more holiday vibes – what parent doesn’t love that?
The beach is pure magic. Golden sand stretches into gently lapping turquoise water, idylic with little ones. Lounge chairs and umbrellas are scattered just-so, giving everyone space to breathe, which is priceless when you’ve got a toddler in tow. For those who like to keep active, there’s plenty to do: water sports, tennis, boat trips, hiking, or even starry-night barbecues. Parents can squeeze in a morning yoga class, hit the local trails, or indulge in the serene spa, with massages, saunas and hammams all on offer
Then there’s the Mythos Kids’ Club, which is every parent’s dream. Catering to ages from just four months-old, the nursery is calm and air-conditioned, while older kids can explore bright, cheerful rooms packed with creative activities. Outside, there’s space to run, climb and make friends under the watchful eye of qualified staff. Babysitting and extra activities for children eight and up are also available during peak season, giving parents a bit of much-need time out
The Anassa has six restaurants and bars, each with its own vibe. Polynesia serves fresh seafood and Mediterranean dishes on a terrace with sea views; Olive & Thyme is casual and family-friendly for poolside dinners; Sapsaladi offers a vibrant buffet guaranteed to satisfy even the fussiest eaters. And for a grown-up date night? Kyma is adults-only, with fine dining and stunning sunset views, while the kids are happily occupied at the club
All in all, this hotel is a fantastic choice for an Easter escape with little ones – luxury, space, and family fun from a well-versed team who have been doing it for generations. Considering booking a break? Tiny Travel Agency can take it off your plate completely – pre-booking everything from childcare spaces & restaurant reservations to transfers (with age appropriate car seats). The cost? Nada, it’s a complimentary service, coming in for the same price as you’d pay booking direct (plus we’re here to support you 24/7 before and during your trip)
If you’re craving a cultural city break but don’t fancy dragging bored, reluctant kids around all day, Amsterdam is a top choice. The Dutch capital is incredibly child-friendly, with museums designed for little ones, kid-focused canal tours, and plenty of spots to run, play, and explore. And when it comes to where to stay, The Pulitzer is the ultimate family-friendly city pad. Tucked along the iconic canals in the historic centre, this hotel combines atmospheric charm with an array of child-pleasing surprises
The rooms at The Pulitzer are a total win for families. Spacious family suites and duplex family rooms give you plenty of room to spread out, and the team can prep your room with all the essentials: cots, baby baths, nappies, toys, and bedtime books if requested in advance. Little touches like these make life with small kids feel smooth, stress-free, and surprisingly luxurious.
But the real star is the VIP (Very Important Kids) Programme. On arrival kids get a welcome pack with a travel diary, colouring books, puzzles and sweet treats. The hotel even runs a treasure hunt through its 25 historic canal houses, letting little explorers discover secret staircases and hidden nooks while parents follow along with a smile. There’s also a library full of children’s books and games, curated family magazines, activity sheets, and DVDs for rainy afternoons – turning downtime into cozy story or opportunity for a game. Need a few hours to yourself? Babysitters can be booked so you can hit a museum or enjoy a grown-up meal
One standout experience is the Family Float: a private 90-minute canal cruise aboard the hotel’s classic boat, The Tourist. Designed for families, it comes with a kids’ discovery map, turning the trip into a fun little adventure. Young explorers can spot landmarks, quirky canal houses and other hidden gems along the way
Jansz, the hotel’s restaurant, makes dining easy and fun with a children’s menu full of favourites like grilled chicken, pasta, fish and chips, and colourful fruit dishes – plus crayons and colouring pages to keep little hands busy. Families are welcome any time, with highchairs always on hand, or you can enjoy 24-hour room service after a busy day of sightseeing
Finally, the hotel’s hidden garden courtyard is a peaceful oasis where kids can burn off energy while parents sip coffee in the sun. Add easy access to Vondelpark, interactive museums, and other family-friendly city highlights, and Pulitzer Amsterdam feels less like a hotel and more like a joyful family hub – a city escape where kids are included, and parents actually get to enjoy themselves too
For guaranteed sunshine, Antigua is a very safe bet at Easter. With daily direct flights from the UK, you can be on this stunning Caribbean island in under nine hours, which explains why it’s such a firm favourite with British families. Step off the plane and you’re instantly greeted by warm sea air, with April temperatures sitting happily between the high 20s and around 30°C – a very welcome swap for the UK’s unpredictable spring weather
Blue Waters Resort is the perfect base. Set on the island’s peaceful northwest coast, this relaxed five-star hotel sits above a string of calm, sandy coves where the sea is shallow and crystal clear – ideal for swimming or trying out first snorkelling adventures. The whole place exudes classic Caribbean charm, with whitewashed buildings, tropical gardens and plenty of shady nooks for an afternoon flop
There’s a wide choice of spacious rooms and suites, with interconnecting options that make travelling with kids blissfully easy. Larger Cove Suites and multi-bedroom residences offer even more space, dreamy sea views and big terraces. Some suites even have private pools – perfect for a quiet dip while little ones nap
The kids’ club is a real win. It caters mainly to children aged four to twelve, offering a relaxed programme of arts and crafts, treasure hunts, outdoor games, and island-inspired activities. There’s a lovely garden to explore, and the vibe is friendly and fun rather than overly structured. Younger children are equally well looked after, with a creche and babysitting available for when parents need a little downtime. Days unfold easily here. Families drift between beaches and pools, try kayaking or paddleboarding or hop in a boat to explore hidden coves.
The Palm Restaurant handles leisurely breakfasts and evening meals, Carolyn’s is perfect for casual lunches by the beach and The Cove Restaurant offers a grown-up dining option for date nights – babysitting comes in very handy here. Kids are welcome everywhere, with flexible menus and early dining options. Just what families want
Fancy exploring further afield? Antigua has so much to offer families. Visit Nelson’s Dockyard for a taste of pirate history, swim with stingrays at Stingray City or climb to Shirley Heights for unbeatable views (and a well-earned rum punch for the adults). What makes Blue Waters so special is its balance: there’s plenty to keep energetic youngsters busy, but absolutely no pressure to do anything at all
This is another spot you’re best booking via our complimentary Tiny Travel Agency service (think: some arranging everything for you, from transfers & car seats down to in-demand restaurant reservations, for the same as you’d pay if booking direct)
If you love the freedom of self-catering but don’t want to miss out on hotel-style luxury, Kora Nivaria Beach on Tenerife ticks all the boxes. The apartments are chic, minimalist, and generously sized, with fully equipped kitchens so you can whip up meals and kick back and enjoy them – no need to dress up for dinner here. Step outside and you also get access to smart hotel-style facilities – think pools, a spa, a gym, and a great kids’ club. It’s the perfect mix of home-from-home comfort and holiday pampering
There are 110 one and two-bedroom apartments, each with its own private terrace. For families wanting a little extra space, the Oceanfront Villas are a step up in luxury: dramatic glass skylights, organic high-thread-count cotton sheets, and a whopping 100m² of space across three bedrooms, accommodating up to six guests. Perfect for bigger families or those who just like to spread out more
Perched high above the Atlantic on Tenerife’s southwest coast, the resort overlooks the charming village of Los Gigantes, famous for its dramatic cliffs. The local beach is just a short stroll away, with shallow waters perfect for little swimmers, while nearby Puerto Santiago Beach offers sheltered coves ideal for paddleboarding or laid-back picnics. At Easter, the weather is spot on – blue skies and mild 20s°C make it warm but never sweltering
The kids’ club is a real draw for children aged four to 12, with a mix of creative and sporty activities designed to keep them happily entertained. Everything here is thoughtfully managed, right down to the staff-to-child ratios – numbers are capped at 15 per session, so it feels calm and personal rather than chaotic. You can’t just rock up on the day, though, so it’s worth planning ahead. Pools are plentiful, with a large heated outdoor pool and a separate splash pool for younger children. Or, for something different, hire bikes and explore the surrounding area
There isn’t a full restaurant on site, but that’s part of the charm. If cooking isn’t your vibe, there are plenty of restaurants and bars in Abades within a five-minute walk, plus a nearby supermarket for easy supplies. Don’t miss the resort’s Gastro Corner Slow for great coffee, fresh juices, and pastries
Beyond the resort, Tenerife delivers plenty of family adventure: whale and dolphin-watching trips, volcanic hikes, a day at Siam Park, or browsing colourful local markets. Parents can even squeeze in a round of golf or a sunset sailing trip. Relaxed, flexible, and just a short flight from the UK, Kora Nivaria Beach is also surprisingly budget-friendly – making it a top pick for stylish, self-catering family escapes this Easter
If your idea of the perfect family holiday involves more than just flopping by the pool – and let’s be honest, that’s rarely an option with kids in tow – then Windjammer Landing Resort & Residences in St Lucia one to know
First up, there’s no shortage of on-site action. Families can dip in and out of paddle boarding, kayaking, waterskiing, and beach volleyball or join in the resort’s brilliantly fun (and lighthearted) Beach Olympics if you’re feeling competitive. Venture a little further afield, and the adventure ramps up: zipline through the rainforest, hike around the iconic Pitons, or set off on family-friendly boat trips with snorkelling thrown in. Best of all, many activities are tailored to different ages, so even little ones can join in the fun
Sat on lush hillside overlooking Labrelotte Bay, Windjammer Landing feels vibrant and sociable, yet never overwhelming. Accommodation is perfect for families, with one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas featuring separate living areas, full kitchens, and generous terraces. Many villas even come with plunge pools or private pools – always a hit with kids.
The Jacquot Fun Club is where younger children can hang out – and after one session they will undoubtedly be asking to go back. Catering to ages five to twelve, it offers a packed schedule of games, crafts, and Caribbean-inspired outdoor fun. During peak periods, older kids can enjoy a dedicated teens’ programme, giving them a chance to try new sports, make friends, and gain independence while staying safely supervised. Very little ones aren’t forgotten either – nanny services and family essentials like cribs, highchairs, and car seats are all available, making travelling with babies and toddlers far less stressful
Dining is totally geared up for families. Dragonfly serves lively buffets and themed evenings, while Papa Don’s Taverna is ideal for casual, toes-in-the-sand meals like pizza, pasta, and grills. Embers, the beachside grill, is great for early dinners or relaxed lunches, and Upper Deck offers a slightly more refined experience for evenings when parents fancy something special – older children are always welcome, but maybe leave little ones in the care of a babysitter. Flexible menus, early dining options, and genuinely accommodating staff mean mealtimes are stress-free
At its heart, this is a proper beach holiday with won’t leave you wanting. The resort opens onto a soft crescent of sand with shallow, calm water perfect for swimming, plus plenty of loungers, shade, and attentive beachside service. This place is perfect for families who want to do things together and sometimes apart – allowing kids to be independent and entertained while parents relax. For a stress-free experience from start to finish, chat to Tiny Travel Agency. Not only is the service free, but we price match (so you won’t pay any more than if you booked direct) while taking care of everything for you – from transfers and car seats to highly sought after childcare slots & dining destinations
When you picture the ultimate tropical escape, Grenada is exactly the kind of place that comes to mind. Powdery white sand, gently swaying palm trees and that impossible shade of turquoise sea – you know the one. As well as being post-card perfect, it’s know for being friendly, easy-going and packed with things to do. It’s a top choice for a Caribbean family holiday and Spice Island Beach Resort is the place to check in
Overlooking the world-famous Grand Anse Beach, this elegant all-inclusive resort feels far more like a boutique hideaway than a big hotel. With just 64 suites, you get all the perks of a fully-fledged resort – think a glossy swimming pool, swim-up Jacuzzi, tennis courts, a serene spa and even complimentary green fees at the nearby golf club – without ever feeling crowded. There’s always space on the beach, always a free sun lounger, and always that blissful sense that time is standing still
Spacious Luxury Seafront Suites and Royal Collection Pool Suites offer plenty of room to spread out, with separate living areas, generous terraces or patios and, in some cases, private plunge pools. Best of all, you’re just steps from the sand, so no trekking for ages to get back to the room at nap time
The Nutmeg Pod Kids’ Club is a huge hit with children aged three to twelve – and it’s completely free. Open daily from 9am to 5pm, kids can pop in to try a host of activities such as shell painting, storytelling, beach games and even cookery sessions. Babysitting is also available, including in the evenings, which means parents can enjoy a rare (and well-earned) date-night dinner
Speaking of food, dining here is excellent. Oliver’s Restaurant, the resort’s elegant main dining room, serves beautifully prepared Caribbean and international. For relaxed, family-friendly meals, Sea and Surf Terrace & Bar is perfect for lunches and casual dinners, with a great kids’ menu and a laid-back beachfront vibe. Staff are wonderfully accommodating, making mealtimes feel fuss-free
Back on the beach, there’s plenty to keep everyone entertained. Try kayaking, paddle boarding or snorkelling straight from the shore, where colourful fish dart through the ridiculously clear water. Yoga sessions and the lovely spa round off the list of reasons to book
Beyond the resort, Grenada is fantastic for family adventures. Visit a chocolate factory, splash around at Annandale Falls, snorkel the famous Underwater Sculpture Park, or wander local markets bursting with colour and spice. Getting there is easy, too. The island is served by direct flights from the UK, taking around nine hours, and once you land at Maurice Bishop International Airport, it’s just a 15-minute transfer to the resort – the perfect, stress-free start to a dreamy family escape
Thinking of booking a break? Three words – Tiny Travel Agency (our complimentary concierge service won’t cost you any more than booking direct, but will take care of everything for you – from transfers and car seats to activities & childcare arrangements)
Easter is the ideal time to make a beeline for Florida. Delightfully warm but not too humid, spring is a great season to visit the theme parks, when crowds are lighter than during the busy summer months. While staying at a Disney or Universal hotel can be convenient (hello early-morning queue advantages), it can also be nice to escape the chaos – sorry, fun – by staying just outside the park bubble. That way, you get all the excitement and some much-needed downtime, leaving the cartoon characters behind at the gates
If that sounds doable then check out Regal Oaks Resort, a family favourite that understands one important thing: after a full day of theme parks, nobody wants to squeeze back into a tiny (often way overpriced) hotel room. Budget-friendly and located just steps from Old Town Kissimmee, around 10 minutes from Walt Disney World and 15 minutes from Universal Studios, Regal Oaks is perfectly situated as a home base for park-hopping families who value comfort, space, and rides in equal measure
You’ll be staying in spacious two, three and four-bedroom townhouse, making the resort ideal for larger families or multi-generational trips. Each home features a full kitchen – perfect for quick breakfasts before dashing off to join the queues – plus screened-in patios and private hot tubs. Because after surviving character meet-and-greets and souvenir negotiations, parents deserve a moment (or several) to chill out
The resort itself keeps the fun going on non-park days, or whenever you fancy a break from roller coasters. Kids will love the large pool and water slides, while tennis courts and a fitness centre offer sportier alternatives for anyone who can still manage that after walking roughly 25,000 steps to tick off each ride. Clubhouse restaurants like The Cabana Pool Bar & Grill make dining easy, and with Old Town’s eateries and entertainment just a short stroll away, the best of Orlando is always within easy reach. Another big bonus is the handy Concierge & Ticket Desk at the resort who can book park tickets as well as other local attractions
Regal Oaks hits the sweet spot between excitement and calm. You’re close enough to pop back for naps, outfit changes or a quick dip in the pool, yet far enough away to escape the late-night park chaos. It ticks every box – fun, flexible and family-friendly. And that might just be the real magic for parents
