The ideal family holiday combines all the things you love, has something for everyone, and has the perfect balance between relaxation and entertainment. The good news is that the options for summer 2025 are better than ever. Whether you're after sun-drenched beaches or countryside picnics, there’s an escape to match your travel style and budget.
Here are four fantastic destinations to consider, from Mediterranean islands to UK adventures.
The Greek Islands - Family fun in Crete and beyond
If your family prefers relaxed days mixed with just enough adventure to keep things interesting, then the Greek islands are a brilliant choice. Crete stands out for its shallow, child-friendly beaches, ancient mythic ruins, and unique local food like Cretan Dakos or Kalitsounia (mini cheese pies) that appeal to all ages. If you want something a little more tranquil, consider hopping over to Kefalonia or Rhodes – both offer a gentler pace, postcard-worthy villages, and less crowded shores so that little ones can roam free and safely.
Portugal - Sun, sea and villas
Portugal continues to be a hit with UK families, and there’s no wonder. The Algarve is packed with more activities than you can fit into a single trip. Go on a dolphin-watching tour or take the kids to one of the many thrilling waterparks. Popular beaches like Praia da Luz offer safe swimming and space to play. For even more freedom and flexibility, a self-catering villa is ideal and there are a variety of villas in Portugal that are close to beaches and local attractions.
The UK - Why not do a staycation?
You don’t need a passport to enjoy a fantastic summer break with the family. Staycations in the UK can be just as memorable. Go hiking along Pembrokeshire’s coast or explore the castles and wildlife of Northumberland. And if you really want the kids to stop staring at their screens, there’s no better place than the The Norfolk Broads with its tiny cottages, vast nature reserves like Ranworth Broad, and opportunities for activities like boating or wildlife spotting.
Spain - Short-haul sunshine
Spain is a classic destination for a reason. The weather is always warm, the food is delicious, and there’s plenty for children to do. Head to Costa Blanca in the south-east for sandy beaches and calm seas or explore Mallorca’s family-friendly resorts like Alcúdia. If you prefer something less built-up, Pollensa has quiet charm without sacrificing convenience. The best part is Spain’s short flight time, which makes it ideal for travelling with restless kids.
Travel memories the kids won’t forget
From the Greek islands to the UK countryside, you’ll find a summer break to fit your family’s pace and interests. Check out these destinations to unwind, explore, and most importantly, spend some quality time together.
