In the heart of rural southwest France, Domaine des Etangs feels like a fairytale brought to life. Meals are integral to the story: Michelin-starred Dyades crafts menus guided by the estate’s fields, forests and gardens, with children tasting simplified dishes made from the same freshly gathered produce. Families can picnic beside the lake, forage for mushrooms, or meet the donkeys and cows that supply the kitchen. Indoors, turret playrooms transform rainy afternoons, while outside, rolling meadows and a glittering pool stretch the adventure. Food and nature flow together here, creating a sense of magic for every generation

Set against the rice fields of Portugal’s Alentejo coast, Quinta da Comporta radiates rustic charm and barefoot luxury. At its restaurant, O Terraco, menus celebrate the sea and land with grilled octopus, organic rice and biodynamic wines, while kids enjoy smaller portions of local favourites and decadent homemade ice cream. Villas with private pools simplify family living, offering space to unwind between swims and bike rides. The kids’ club organises treasure hunts, nature walks and cooking workshops, so tiny travellers are entertained while parents retreat to the spa. Sunset suppers overlooking the fields bring everyone back together

Rooted in Cretan tradition and eco-conscious hospitality, Phaea Cretan Malia Park knows how important food is to family life. Adults can savour dishes built around island produce – think grilled lamb, olive oil tastings and village-style mezze – while children tuck into souvlaki skewers, pasta and unfussy classics. What makes it special is the family experience: cooking workshops invite parents and children to roll filo pastry or knead dough side by side, creating memories to take home. The Little Explorers club buzzes with crafts, stories, and games, while the beach just steps away promises barefoot evenings and golden sunsets that end each day perfectly

Parklane brings a cosmopolitan edge to Cyprus, with six restaurants spanning Mediterranean fine dining to wood-fired Italian. NAMMOS Limassol and La Petite Maison cater to parents seeking sophistication, while Il Teatro’s pizzas and pastas please younger palates. Dining together feels seamless thanks to dedicated children’s menus across all venues. For kids, the best way to work up an appetite is a visit to the Scott Dunn’s Explorers Kids Club – a spacious wonderland with a medieval castle, splash pool and daily activities

Set on a tranquil lagoon, Constance Prince Maurice elevates dining with floating restaurants that serve seafood just plucked from the water, Asian-fusion plates and traditional Mauritian curries. Thankfully though, palettes of all ages are considered at every step, with junior menus and flexible meal times easing the pace of family life. The Constance Kids Club even has its own kitchen, where young chefs can mix, roll and taste their way through cooking classes. Villas open onto the beach or perch overwater, and the lagoon pool is shallow enough for hours of safe splashing

Carved into its own private bay, Daios Cove offers dramatic sea views and an equally impressive approach to dining. The flagship restaurant Ocean reimagines Mediterranean cuisine with creative flair, complemented by wine pairings and locally sourced fish grilled to perfection. Children enjoy dedicated menus that feel special yet approachable, while the kids club and crèche keep young imaginations busy with art, treasure hunts and outdoor adventures. Spacious multi-bedroom villas with private pools make in-room dining easy, especially when little ones need early nights

Perched above the Atlantic, Ritz-Carlton Abama is known as much for gastronomy as for glamour, thanks to two Michelin-starred restaurants, M.B. and Kabuki.

For kids, there’s a sprawling play village with workshops, sports and even a mini theatre; meanwhile parents can retreat to the spa or beach club, knowing the little ones are in safe hands

Cornwall’s rugged north coast sets the scene for Watergate Bay, a haven if you’re a foodie family who also love to surf! Zacry’s restaurant champions modern coastal cooking like Cornish crab and wood-fired steaks with seasonal vegetables, while The Beach Hut offers burgers, fish and chips, and hot chocolates served right on the sand. Surf lessons, sea-view pools, and a packed kids’ programme keep the energy high between meals and thankfully there’s flexible dining to make early suppers easy (no one likes an overtired toddler on holiday)

A modern hillside resort with strong local roots, The Royal Senses showcases the best Cretan produce across its dining venues.

Family suites with private pools make downtime feel effortless, and the most energetic members of your crew can head to The Rino Kids’ Club for pottery, nature crafts and splash sessions in the shallow pools

Set in the Cape Winelands, Babylonstoren is a working farm turned luxury retreat. The on-site restaurants serve farm-to-fork menus inspired by the sprawling gardens, where guests can stroll for hours and pick the freshest produce. Children, in particular, are encouraged to get hands-on, from collecting eggs to tasting fruit straight from the trees in the orchards. At Babel, dishes are bold and seasonal; the Greenhouse provides relaxed, lighter meals. Beyond the table, families can row on the dam, cycle through the grounds or visit the resident donkeys. Equal parts playground and food destination, Babylonstoren connects every meal to the land around it

You can travel the world without leaving the resort, sampling everything from Japanese-Peruvian fusion to hearty British classics, plus there’s plenty of casual beachside grills and buffets.

Bold in architecture and equally ambitious in dining, Hotel Xcaret offers ten restaurants spanning Mexican fine dining, Asian fusion and seafood grills with your toes in the sand.
