Family-Friendly Luxury Stays in Nature

Travelling with children or elderly parents in tow shouldn’t hinder your holiday expectations. Here is our round-up of some of the finest hotels that offer exciting facilities and activities without compromising on quality.

Grand Wailea, Hawaii

This idyllic resort on Maui Island, nestled amongst 40 acres of tropical gardens, pairs understated luxury with an array of family-friendly facilities. The Grand Wailea is just a 10-minute walk from Wailea Beach, a vast stretch of sand with plenty of sunbeds, beachside bars and eateries.

Back at the hotel, you’ll find multiple pools that offer both quiet areas to relax and fun splash zones. The Hibiscus Pool, named after the large Hibiscus mosaic at its centre, is the perfect spot for a refreshing dip, while the activity pool features a lazy river and slides that will keep kids entertained for hours. The hotel also prides itself on its culinary offering, with several restaurants serving everything from wholesome Italian dishes to fresh seafood and Hawaiian poke complemented by live music and entertainment.

When it’s time to retreat to your room, you will have the choice of more than 700 rooms, suites, or villas. All have stunning ocean, hillside, or garden views alongside extra beds and facilities for younger travellers.
