Avana Retreat, Vietnam

In an otherworldly realm of rice paddies, lush lagoons and verdant jungle sits Avana Retreat. If you seek travel experiences rather than could-be-anywhere hotels, this one of a kind hideaway is for you. Here, guests of all ages are treated to a culturally immersive stay. For tiny travellers the focus at the complimentary Kids Club (3+) is on local learning and discovering nature. Core family memory making experiences include visiting local villages, trekking through the jungle to hidden waterfalls and devouring delicious regional feasts with a side of Xòe dancers as evening entertainment. Next-level relaxation is also firmly on the agenda courtesy of the spectacular 3-tiered Cloud Pool and rain forest spa

Soneva Fushi, Maldives

There’s Kids Clubs and then there’s The Den (4+) at Soneva Fushi, a fantasyland so epic parents will be begging to tag along too. The largest in South Asia (the size of six tennis courts), all pleasures and passions are captivatingly catered to, and all without the need for Play Stations or Xbox’s – fun here is screen-free. For wannabe musicians there’s drum kits, guitars and giant musical piano keys, Lego lovers have their own construction room, artists a decked out craft station, and even those with seemingly endless energy to burn are sure to sleep soundly after a day whizzing down the pirate ship water slide. The world of pure imagination doesn’t end there. If you want to view paradise simply step foot into the complimentary chocolate parlour. Parents, before you get too green with envy, rest assured your wildest dreams will be fulfilled as well, thanks to the Blue Planet-worthy house reef, life-changing spa treatments and don’t-lift-a-finger butler service

The Slate, Thailand

Phuket’s The Slate is in the industry of making families happy. The Tin Box Kids Club (4+) is guaranteed to quell any complaints of boredom with cookery, yoga, kickboxing and petit sommelier classes. Allowing parents conversations over cocktails, beachfront bar Côtémar has a supervised kids’ corner. Whilst smalls are sandcastle building, adults can make the most of happy hour. Whether you choose to decompress on the beach, sleep like a baby in the super luxe suites or surrender mind, body and soul to a stress-solving spa treatment, parental pampering is taken very seriously here

Rosewood Phuket, Thailand

A revelation for families who don’t ‘do’ family resorts, Rosewood’s Phuket outpost marries of-the-place authenticity, adult ambience and all-age activities like no other. This isn’t a copy + paste, location oblivious, kind of luxury hotel. A stay here celebrates Thailand’s rich cultural and natural treasures (whilst also offering seamless service, ravishing restaurants and world-class wellness treatments). Kids can try their hand at Muay Thai and traditional crafts at the Explorers Club (3+) and even take language lessons. Guilt-free childcare dispatch aside, the Rosewood Phuket further nails the needs of parents with thoughtful touches including nappy bins, baby baths, blackout blinds and our personal favourite – in-room cocktail making kits

Jumeriah Muscat Bay, Oman

Less in-your-face flashy than neighbouring Dubai, Oman is one of the best kept out-of-season sun secrets and a sure fire hit for families. Boasting pristine golden beaches, an azure Arabian sea, famously friendly locals and that all important guaranteed winter sun, this dreamy destination should be on every parents radar. Jumeirah Muscat Bay is a hedonistic hideaway you won’t want to leave. Starting with the Kids Club (4+), tiny travellers are whisked away into a world of arts, crafts, sports and storytelling, whilst even the most hormonal tween is sure to enjoy the alfresco cinema screening. With offspring offloaded, parents can sneak off to the sea-suspended hammocks, hammam or full-moon SUP yoga. Trust us, it won’t be just the kids who leave kicking and screaming come home time

Rixos The Palm, Dubai

Designed for ease, and to please, Rixos The Palm Hotel & Suites is one of the only resorts in Dubai offering all inclusive packages. Alongside hassle-free mealtimes, there’s an unparalleled roster of activities awaiting children at the Rixy Kids Club (0+). The Rixinema plays the latest family friendly movies, there’s a Rixy Disco every evening, onsite Aqua Park complete with flumes and a lazy river, furry animal friends on the mini farm, science and sports academies, cookery classes, wood workshops and climbing wall! Toddlers have their very own town, as well as a designated nap room for midday snoozes. With little legs looked after, parents are free to unwind in the spa or soak up the sun from the golden sands

Shangri-La Singapore, Singapore

Often lauded as THE most family-friendly resort in the country, the Shangri-La Singapore is a unique utopia for holiday-hanger-ons and their discerning supervisors. Starting with the Kids Club – which is the biggest we’ve seen – entry is free for guests staying in family rooms, or on family packages, while a small fee applies for others. Over 5’s are welcome to stay & play under staff supervision. Under 5’s are free to join the fantastical fray too, they just need accompaniment. Inside the unique utopia you’ll find an epic soft play; creative studio (including a glow in the dark painting room, where drawing on the walls is encouraged!); an impressively kitted out music studio where tots can star in their own videos; and a mini kitchen for budding chefs. Onto the rooms. Snag one of the handful of themed suites (we’re talking safari, space, underwater, pirate ship and castle) for the ultimate parental kudos points. Attached to Deluxe Family Rooms (tastefully decorated for mum & dad), they keep all members of the getaway gang in their element

Jumeirah Al Naseem, Dubai

Foodie families flock to Jumeirah Al Naseem for the pitch-perfect combination of comprehensive childcare, exceptional service and faultless food. From free access to the Wild Wadi Waterpark to the well-designed Kids Club (3+), toddler friendly splash pad and mini golf, there’s plenty to keep kids enthralled in entertainment here. With tots taken care of, parents can slink off to the Talise Spa or shop the artisanal delights in the show stopping souk. The restaurant set up here is a gourmet wonderland; with over 20 restaurants taking guests on a culinary world tour. This is a UAE hotel that delivers first-class luxury through service and scenery, rather than OTT decor. Interiors here are easy, breezy and beautiful, with calming blues and sandy whites reflecting the seascape outside.
