Elea Suites & Residences, Crete

Soulless, sprawling resorts are two a penny on Crete, which is why eeny Elea is such a fabulous find. Delivering maximum style, for minimum spend, prices (for spacious suites & apartments) start from as little as £71 p/night. Nestled amongst olive groves in the small village of Gouves, the setting may be seductively serene, but cast aside any worries of itchy feet – traditional tavernas, beautiful beaches, supermarkets and playgrounds are all a short stroll away. Serving up lashings of locality; the bountiful breakfasts are home-grown and the family owners pride themselves on their hidden-gem, won’t find in a guidebook, recommendations. With a sparkling swimming pool, separate sleeping spaces, and cots & highchairs provided, this budget boutique bolthole nails our parent pleasing requirements. All this for an unbelievable steal, what are you waiting for? Run, don’t walk to book

£

Zafiro Palace Andratx, Mallorca

Zafiro Palace Andratx brings a luxurious-yet-laidback escape to Camp de Mar, pairing contemporary, sea-view suites and soothing mountain-to-bay scenery with all the essentials new parents need – including an effortless All Inclusive option, giving you the much-needed mental break us adults deserve!  An all-suite sanctuary perched right above a glittering emerald bay, Zafiro Palace Andratx is Mallorca’s most stylish surprise for new parents — where alongside sleek design and stunning sea-views, you’ll find a generous line-up of restaurants and bars included, from relaxed poolside bites and fun food trucks to Mediterranean grills and elegant à la cartes that feel grown-up, even with a tiny one in tow. Think zero planning, zero stress and nap time made even better thanks to complimentary cocktails on room service! Not to mention, snack time is sorted, whenever your under-two demands it

££

Kora Nivaria Beach, Tenerife

There’s no denying the appeal of a 4-hour flight to year-round sunshine, but for many aesthetes the allure of ‘tacky’ Tenerife ends there. We’ll we’re here to tell you that a winter sun soiree can be both stylish and spenny-saving! Introducing Kora Nivaria Beach, a chic coastal complex delivering the facilities of a package-resort, minus any eyesores. Sidestepping high-rises for low-slung suites, plastic fantastic water slides for an idyllic infinity pool and beige buffets for a Slow Gastro Corner cafe (where the menu heroes low-mile meals), these airy apartments are bringing cool to the Canaries. With a pledge to help parents disconnect & decompress, complimentary activities include yoga, tai chi and pilates classes – but we’d argue the free Kids Club is the biggest stress-busting bonus. As far removed from Brits abroad beaches as you can get, this desert destination is an oasis of people-free peace. Need more convincing? Local village Abades can be reached in a matter of minutes on foot, and promises bars, restaurants and sandy shores to explore

£

Villa Lena, Italy

A glutton for gastronomy? This sojourn Under the Tuscan Sun features a farm-to-fork restaurant and Hollywood-worthy scenery in its sensational script. Creative and culinary prowess go toe-to-toe for the lead act at Villa Lena – an art-first agriturismo offering an alternate take on holiday resorts. Putting an emphasis on enriching entertainment, kids activities are done a little differently here. Yes there’s a panoramic pool brimming with floats and toys; (picture-perfect) playground; cinema room and well stocked library – but what really sets Villa Lena in a league of its own is the wealth of workshops on offer. Rotating resident artists lead lessons in everything from painting and pottery to cookie baking and flower crown making. Whilst babes are channelling their inner Botticelli, parents can revive a renaissance of daytime drinking (through the guise of ‘educational’ wine tasting and cocktail making classes). Hassle-free dining is covered by the half-board room rate, with seasonality the star of the show. Consider yourself a foodie family? This one’s for you

£

Quinta da Comporta, Portugal

Calm Comporta is a world away from the teeming Algarve. You’re more likely to encounter a bevy of birds, than bodies at wellness wonderland Quinta da Comporta. In a region largely reserved for (eye-wateringly expensive) villas and private residences, this affordable abode finally allows families to sample the superb seaside spot. A boutique bolthole through and through, everything from design to dishes has been kept true to the roots of the region. Chic cabanas are kitted out with agrarian aesthetics (home is surrounded by rice-paddies afterall), whilst the abundance of floor-to-ceiling windows hero-worship the soothing-scenery. Parents will fall head over heels for the swish spa, but this grown up getaway is equally enticing to pint-sized travel partners, thanks to the playground, cinema, family picnics and bikes to borrow 

££

Casa La Siesta, Spain

A one-of-a-kind parental paradise for those of us who fear package holidays, Casa La Siesta offers a completely different spin on grown up getaways. An adults-only rural retreat for most of the year, tots are invited into the oh-so-fine fold during dedicated ‘family friendly weeks’. Adults are encouraged to indulge in sun-soaked siestas, whilst energetic offspring make new friends. The boredom-busting backdrop of pool and glorious gardens keep tots on their toes, without the need for formal childcare. Plus, with only 11 rooms the tranquil vibe isn’t disturbed by too many tiny travellers. Babysitters are available, early suppers are served, the beach is a mere 15 minute drive away and memory making experiences include dolphin & whale watching

£££

Chateau Villarlong, France

It’s clear the French know a thing or two about prioritising parents on holiday. Whilst Spain may be known for wrist-band wearing mega-resorts, France is synonymous with fairytale castles and (fine) wine-fuelled weekends. Upping the ante on family-friendly fantasies is Château Villarlong – a 12th century historic homestay writing al-fresco fun into the storybook scenery. The inviting infinity pool is the perfect invitation for a fly and flop, but equally there’s plenty to keep little (and longer) legs entertained. With a focus on activities for all, days can be spent playing giant chess, boules, volleyball or tennis. A real bonus is the foodie flexibility; romantic self-catered apartments are complemented by a gorgeous restaurant, nestled in the wine vaults. Undoubtedly one of the prettiest regions in France, who needs waterslides when the nearby lake boasts ziplines, rope bridges and sandy shores

£

Villa Pia, Italy

If the word all inclusive immediately makes you think of watered down drinks and stale french fries, we don’t blame you. But parents seeking the ease of dinners-on-the-doorstep will be pleased to know there is an alternate option, one where home cooking is heroed and independent play the ideal. Replacing the traditional ‘blocky’ backdrop, Villa Pia is set in 5 acres of rolling Italian idyll. Safe and secure, children are encouraged to explore the grounds without needing constant eyes-on from adults. Sprogs supervising themselves, running from swings to sandpits, parents can indulge in a little lilo-lounging from the sublime swimming pool. On a mission to give mum more than just five minutes peace, dinner time here is an adults only affair. Children are served an early supper and once put to bed the 4-course gourmet affair for grown-ups begins. Don’t worry about packing your own baby monitor, these are handed out to guests at check-in. If the idea of nomming-down on Nonna-style dishes hasn’t already got you sold, just mention the onsite soft play to your smalls and they’re sure to make it their mission in life to convince you

££

Senhora da Rosa, Portugal

If you’re looking for a boutique bolthole that doesn’t scrimp on the facilities associated with bigger hotels, Senhora da Rosa is the pineapple plantation turned generous guesthouse for you. Complimentary Kids Club? Tick. Indoor play area? Tick. Baby gear provided? Tick. Early dinner sittings and children’s menu? Tick. Outdoor pool, spa, gym and two onsite restaurants? Tick. Add to that, the direct flight from London and breezy 15 minute airport transfer, and we’ll challenge you to find a resort amenity this hidden gem hotel doesn’t have. And whilst mainland Portugal may be known for a sea of soulless resorts, The Azores – an archipelago of volcanic atolls off the coast – is brimming with tropical jungle, legendary waterfalls, dormant volcanoes and breathtaking beaches

£

Maslina Resort, Croatia

A blissfully serene seafront hangout, Maslina Resort is the Adriatic island idyll for those seeking healthy hedonism. Leaving the party people in Hvar town, this 50-room hideaway on the north coast is deliciously docile. Days can be spent floating between the ridiculously photogenic pool, sanctuary spa and the locally-led restaurants, where organic garden to gourmet grub dishes are served up. This pocket of peace isn’t disturbed by the gaggle of happy children also in attendance, thanks to the well-kitted out playroom (we’re talking a mural backed climbing wall, giant connect 4 and abundance of arts and crafts). Handily located as an extension of the main restaurants, mum and dad can dine a deux, while those over 4 are supervised within eyeshot. The type who gets itchy feet? Firstly, if the cabin is this chic, we’d happily take the fever, but if you do like to explore, UNESCO-listed Stari Grad is a short cycle away (and bikes available to borrow)

£££

Hotel Misincu, Corsica

Let the hordes head to neighbouring France and Italy, and (quietly) make a beeline for Corsica instead. This unspoilt Mediterranean island boasts some of the softest sands and clearest seas in Europe, but you can pretty much guarantee you won’t bump into anyone you know on these beaches. 29-room Hotel Misincu is our dictionary definition of a barefoot boutique bolthole. Pretty much what we’d consider an earthly paradise to look like, this white-washed oasis is framed by a backdrop of olive groves and front by a private stretch of captivating Corsican coastline. There’s no shortage of swoon-worthy style – airy suites boast neutral linens and sea breezes, while the sunken sunbeds in the picture perfect pool will bring tears to a sleep deprived parents eye. Les enfants can check into the seasonal Kids Club for treasure hunts and fishing lessons

£££

Octant Praia Verde, Portugal 

An affordable solution to separate sleep spaces, the generous living rooms in Octant Praia Verde’s suites, allow parents privacy, whilst also remaining kind on the purse strings – because for many of us, interconnecting rooms is more dream than reality. Nestled in an undeveloped pocket of the Algarve, between pine forest and golden coast, this beachy boutique bolthole emits a beacon call for foodie families. Onsite restaurant A Terra dishes up a taste of Portugal on a plate, but rooms also come equipped with kitchenettes, should toddler hanger strike. Visit during the summer to make use of the complimentary Kids Club (4+), where wholesome activities include tree-top adventures and riding lessons 

£

Ekies All Senses Resort, Greece 

Yearning for silky soft sands and impossibly blue seas, but can’t face the thought of shepherding your sprogs on a water taxi? Halkidiki, on the mainland, delivers on all your Greek island fantasies, and only involves one eighty minute transfer from the airport. Our boutique bolthole of choice would have to be Ekies All Senses Resort, a magical place that invites parents to disconnect from reality. The only commute here is from bed to beach, via the seasonal Kids Club (5+), should you wish, and the daily grind features sun, swim, spa, on repeat. The food here is impeccable, and well worth a special shout out. But so is the palm-fringed pool, hammock-strewn sea and whimsical interiors

£

Andronis Arcadia, Santorini 

Perhaps the most archetypal ‘Greek island’, swish Santorini is synonymous with impossibly pretty villages, blue-domed backdrops and volcanic vistas. It’s a top scoring bucket list break for a reason, but one many feel they have to deprioritize once they answer to ‘Mum’ or ‘Dad’. Family friendly hotels are at a shortage on Santorini, with many of the boutique boltholes proudly declaring themselves adult only. Uber gorgeous Andronis Arcadia bucks this trend, warmly welcoming guests of all ages into the fabulous fold. With all (private pool!) suites positioned to frame the famed sunsets, an insta iconic infinity pool and (our kind of) laundry list of massages, you’re definitely not missing out on the trappings of an adults only enclave. But the Kids Club (4+), mini spa treatments, family cooking lessons and ‘yoga for youngs’ undoubtedly make this a parent pleasing sanctuary 

£££

Noah Surf House, Portugal

Beachfront boutique boltholes are a rarity. Prime ocean-facing frontage is usually snapped up by the big boy package players. 21 room Noah Surf House is a gem of a find. Gazing out across the Atlantic, it’s only a matter of steps to get from bed to beach. As the name suggests, water-based activities are in abundance here, but this hideaway isn’t just reserved for those hoping to ride a wave. With yoga, Pilates, skateboarding, cycling and trampolining all on offer, there really is something for everyone. Exercise is great and all, but if you’re wondering what’s the deal for horizontal holidayers, don’t worry they’ve got you covered too. The ocean-view infinity pool is the perfect place to soak up the sun, whilst the gastro garden-to-plate restaurant is downright delicious. And did we mention the price tag yet? With rooms starting from as little as £159 p/night, this is one serious steal 

£

Château St Pierre de Serjac, France

A 19th century manor turned family friendly boutique bolthole, Chateau St Pierre de Serjac is a must-visit for oenophiles with offspring. Dishing up the perfect blend of space and services, guests can choose to bed down in the fairytale castle itself, or snag one of the surrounding self-catering apartments & houses, sleeping 2-8 (some with private pools). Inside, quintessential countryside charm sits in harmony with ancient architecture and modern conveniences. Outside, the dazzling pool takes center stage, but the Cinq Mondes spa is definitely no supporting act – this temple of tranquility is a star in its own right. A seasonal Kids Club, stunning scenery, and garden-to-plate restaurant complete the pretty picture. Plus, did we mention the airport is a breezy 30 minutes away?

£

Baia del Sole, Italy 

Italians know how to do flavoursome, family-first holidays, and nowhere could be more authentically charming than Baia del Sole. Sitting pretty in the deep south, few have discovered this laidback bolthole yet. Perfumed plants and spectacular shrubbery set the scene for a nature-rich stay, where beachy bungalows dot the grounds. Outside your bedroom door you’ll find standout sands and impossibly blue waters, whilst inside the restaurant, mouthwatering-specialities of the region are served. And the chefs here certainly got the parent-pleasing memo, happily catering to allergies, intolerances or picky eaters. A focus on local culture doesn’t come at a compromise to convenience either; with a complimentary Kids Club (3+), evening entertainment, tennis courts and exercise classes also on the menu. This reasonably priced resort definitely ticks all of our boxes 

££

Kontokali Bay Resort & Spa, Corfu 

Ever so-quietly slinking onto our radar for family-fabulous hotels, is Kontokali Bay Resort & Spa. Lesser-known, luxurious resorts that not only tolerate, but actively welcome Tiny Travellers into the fold are hard to come by. With the same names on the school gate circuit, it’s refreshing to find a hidden gem hotspot that gorgeously blends amenities, ambience and aesthetics – all with an A* grade from us! Sitting pretty just 10 minutes from Corfu Town, peace permeates throughout this evergreen idyll, with olive trees flanking the pool and pines peppering the sand. The gorgeous setting makes it easy to shrug off any stress at the hotel door, but any lingering tensions can be alleviated by the bliss-bringing spa therapists. What about my bouncing-off-the-wall brood you ask? They’re burning off steam in the complimentary Kids Club (4+). With 4 restaurants onsite, there’s no need to leave the resort to get your culinary kicks, but far from wanting to keep guests to themselves, Kontokali Bay Resort & Spa runs a free shuttle to ferry families into nearby Corfu Town, plus the staff are armed with brilliant local recommendations that they’re happy to personalise to you

££

Parga Beach Resort, Greece 

With its spacious bungalow buildings, gourmet Greek fusion fare and enviable location (nestled on a brochure-worthy beach a short stroll from a traditional, read not too touristy, town), Parga Beach Resort definitely ticks all our pre-parent prerequisites, all the while taking any hassle out of a family holiday; there’s an activity-rich Kids Club (4+); heated children’s pool; outdoor playground; private pool suites with personal gardens; plus, room & laundry services. The milky white sands and sparkling sea scream Greek island idyll, but in matter of fact this mainland marvel couldn’t be easier to reach. Championing a locally-led approach to resort dining, guests can choose from B&B, half board and all inclusive plans. Whichever you pick, we guarantee everything that graces your plate here will be both people & palate pleasing

£

Hillside Beach Club, Turkey

When researching family holidays we know many of you tend to shy away from hotels with adults-only areas, and we totally get your logic – no one wants to be treading on eggshells while their broods are bouncing off the walls. However, we’re here to tell you that fully fledged family focused hotels that come complete with designated spots for grown ups, are the ultimate parent pleaser. Trust us, when you’ve successfully dispatched your kids to the Kids Club the last thing you want is for your rare downtime to be to the soundtrack of someone else’s offspring. The cleverly conceived set up at Hillside Beach Club enables moments of uninterrupted relaxation for mums & dads. ‘Kidside’ (4+), will have tots running in each morning, for action packed days of waterslides and workshops. Children happily off your hands, parents can soak in the silence at the two private beaches, or enjoy an over 18s only lunch. Suitably rested, time together can be spent on the water (the list of active activities is endless), or enjoying the epic evening entertainment

££

Amirandes, Crete

Leave your resort hesitations at Heathrow and surrender mind, body & soul to the easy life at Amirandes in Crete. Aesthetic snobbery is shed at the door of this elegant enclave, with Arabian arches, contemporary interiors and wondrous water features. The much-loved Kids Club (4+) frees up parents to saunter down the spa, experience the exquisite food or go for a solo swim in the Olympic-sized seawater pool. There’s no need to tax your taste or your credit card here – with free childcare and dining for tiny tummies (as part of the half-board meal plan)

££

Borgo Egnazia, Puglia 

Leading the pack in the redemption of resorts for millennial mums is Puglia’s Borgo Egnazia. This enchanting estate may look centuries old, but it’s actually a mock medieval village, birthed only a decade ago by an expert hotelier and skilled set designer. Carefully crafted, while this resort delivers on Disney-esque fantasies, it manages to retain an air of authenticity, thanks to the use of ancient architectural drawings and traditional building techniques. Challenging the traditional tropes of resort living, guests are treated to Hollywood-worthy backdrops, Michelin-star cuisine and evening entertainment steeped in local culture. While tots are ensconced in the Kids Club (3+), expert therapists pummel away any parenting aches & pains

£££

Anassa, Cyprus

A solution for adults with aesthetic aspirations, who are also travelling with holiday hangers-on in tow, Anassa is a lesson in refined resort living. The marble interiors, calming water features and bountiful branches of bougainvillaea, paint a very pretty picture indeed. The spa here is undoubtedly a stand out, but so is the seasoned service from staff and fine dining dishes. Bouncing-off-the-wall broods are expertly weaved into this elegant equation, whether dispatched to the world-renowned Kids Club (4 months +), or making a splash in the little lido. Home to the hard to find ‘toddler friendly shelf’ and tiered steps, the children’s pool here is one of Europe’s best. Alright, we’re slightly swayed by the brilliant cocktail service and double bed loungers, but it gets our mini mermaid’s seal of approval too. With Cyprus’ sunny season starting early and finishing late, parents can proudly humble brag about this resplendent resort 

£££

Domaine des Etangs, France 

Sidestepping beach frontage for acres of forest, ponds and pastures, Domaine Des Etangs is the pinnacle of a chic countryside retreat. A historic homestay (harking back to the 11th century), this turreted estate turns fairytale fiction to reality. Championing a French approach to resort living, brood bonding can happen on the water, on horseback, or on a picnic blanket. There’s an epic adventure playground, complete with treehouse, swings and zip wire, plus a jam-packed Games Room overflowing the toys and treasure boxes. Water babies will relish the sparkling swimming pools, whilst foodies will devour the farm-to-fork fare 

£££

Villa Le Blanc, Menorca

Boasting some of the most dazzling coastline in the Balearics, and a mind boggling low holidayer : hotel ratio, unsung Menorca should be your go-to for a serene beachy break. Declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the nineties, the island’s culture and charm has remained authentically intact. The location of Villa Le Blanc (Menorca’s first luxury resort) is unparalleled; perched on sublime Santo Tomas Beach, just a hop, skip and jump (read: 30 minute drive) from the airport. With only 159 rooms, it sits on the smaller side of resorts – just as we like it! Its small size doesn’t scrimp on facilities though; rooms come complete with personal terraces (and many with private pools); there’s 3 onsite restaurants; and a slick spa. Acutely tuned into the needs of parents with velcro babies, the scandi-chic playroom is free to use (night and day), by tiny travellers and their supervisors. Once you’ve tired out your offspring, the whole family can enjoy a lunchtime nap together on one of the beckoning Balinese day beds 

£££

Six Senses Ibiza, Ibiza 

Consider yourself an aesthete, but your adults-only aspirations have been hindered by the arrival of Tiny Travellers? Allow us to introduce Six Senses Ibiza – an earthy enclave chiselled into the cliff side, whose tranquil location is the ultimate tonic for tired mums & dads. There’s a powerful pull for parents seeking luxury resort facilities, with the service & style of a boutique hotel. From Downward Dog lessons for mini yogis, to food fermentation classes, Six Senses’ trademark priority on wellness extends to the youngest of travellers too. Little legs are welcome to swim (and splash) in the iconic infinity pool – at all times! – as well as join their folks for family meals in all 4 restaurants

£££

Phāea Cretan Malia

Don’t let the Malia location dissuade you, Phāea Cretan Malia is a dreamland for design aficionados and their discerning (sometimes, demanding) offspring. Marrying elegance with ease, Phāea Cretan Malia offers parents all the practicalities they need (think: free Kids Club 3+, suitcase-saving Baby Package, trio of delicious onsite restaurants and breezy 30 minute airport transfer), all without the accompaniment of wristbands, mascots or bland buffets. A proud Design Hotel member, dated decor is just the first (of many things) you don’t need to worry about here. Every nook and cranny is not only gorgeously styled, but well considered for family use; the show stopping pool snakes through the grounds, with plenty of paddle-friendly sections; boho beautiful rooms include interconnecting options; and as well as the food being the type you want to snap first, eat second, there’s ample choice for tiny tummies 

£

The Peligoni Club, Greece 

A unicorn amongst family friendly resorts, The Peligoni Club brings heavy-hitting facilities to villa holidays. At the ‘club’ you’ll find a spa, Peloton-equipped gym, two restaurants, tennis courts, yoga, Pilates, every watersport under the sun, and the all important childcare! The much-loved Kids Club heroes screen-free fun, whilst parents will be over the moon to hear the creche welcomes tiny travellers as young as 4 months old. But where do I sleep you ask? Guests choose from over 60 cottages and villas sprinkled around the club. From bohemian boltholes to bond-esque modern masterpieces, there’s something to suit every interior taste (and party size)

£££

Caramel, A Grecotel Resort to live 

Caramel, located on one of Crete’s most captivating coastlines, is a total win for families looking for a stylish laid-back. It nails that elusive mix of authentic Greek charm—with whitewashed buildings and bougainvillaea everywhere—and family-friendly perks. Kids and teens are spoiled for choice with creative clubs, sports, and watersports, while parents can chill knowing all the baby essentials are covered, thanks to the GrecoBaby packing service. The rooms are roomy and cool, from garden suites to private pool bungalows, and the best bit? Kids under 12 stay and eat for free

£££

Imagine Roussillon, France 

In the sun-drenched Catalan countryside, Imagine Roussillon offers a rare kind of resort experience — where self-catering cottages meet hotel facilities, and charming hospitality is paired with flexibility & freedom. For such a tiny setup (there’s only six home from homes onsite), the childcare credentials are undeniably impressive – though you do need to visit during high season to make the most of the complimentary Kids Club (1+). There are two heated pools, a mini farm, a playground, and a gentle, laidback rhythm that makes every day feel like a holiday — for everyone
