There’s a reason resorts are such a hit with parents and kids alike, from the endless pools, entertainment and activities, to the restaurants which cater for fussy little eaters – not to mention kids club which is a win for mums and dads after much needed downtime.
Feeling tempted? We’ve pulled together some of our favourite family overseas but not too far from home…
Fiji: Radisson Blu Resort Fiji Denarau Island
For a tropical escape only a short flight away (less than a four-hour flight from the East Coast), the Radisson Blu Resort Fiji ticks the boxes and ensures a memorable holiday for all.
At this resort kids are treated like VIPs and are even welcomed on arrival with their own personalised check-in experience and Banana Club ‘kids club’ passport.
The resort is spread across 10 acres with tropical gardens and four lagoon pools, a white water slide, four family friendly restaurants, affordable babysitting, free kayaking and a day spa. If that’s not enough, the family can even learn how to basket weave, crack a coconut, watch cultural shows and traditional dances, all without even having to leave the resort.
Bali: Padma Resort Legian
Bali is a family favourite and the perfect destination to mix relaxation with a cultural holiday for the kids. Wotif suggests staying at Padma Resort in Legian, which offers families two bedroom balcony suites only a short walk from the beach.
There is plenty of fun to be had at this resort, with the ‘Wolly Club’ catering to kids aged four and over and offering activities such as Indonesian cooking classes, mask-making and even t-shirt painting. There’s also a children’s pool and playground. Breakfast is included and for lunch and dinner there’s a choice of five restaurants offering a mix of cuisines and dishes for all appetites.
Vanuatu: Warwick Le Lagon Vanuatu
The French Polynesian playground of Vanuatu is an easy flight from the east coast of Australia, filled with friendly locals and a chilled out island vibe.
If a tropical escape is high on your family holiday list, then stay at Port Vila’s iconic 4.5 star resort the Warwick Le Lagon Resort and Spa. The relaxed French hospitality of this resort will transport you into ‘island time’ immediately, with private beach access, three resort style pools, a free Kids Club and three restaurants. This resort offers something for every member of the family, including those who need some ‘pamper time’ at the full-service spa by the beach.
Singapore: Treetops Executive Residences
From exploring the children’s garden at the Gardens by the Bay, to treetop zip lining at Forest Adventure or going on a Night Safari, there are loads of unique activities for the family in Singapore. Stay in the heart of Singapore at Treetops Executive Residences on Orchard Road, in Singapore’s shopping and entertainment hub. The residences offer one to three bedroom apartment set among five acres of greenery and breakfast is included on Wotif.com. It’s a great option for the kids with a children’s playground and wading pool. There’s also a tennis court, pool, sauna, spa and free shuttle buses.
