If you’re looking for a relaxed family holiday in the sun, Menorca is a fantastic choice. This baby Balearic is more peaceful than its neighbours, and has plenty of family-friendly hotels. It’s also just a two-and-a-half-hour flight from the UK.
Menorca’s golden and white-sand beaches are the undisputed highlight – you can sunbathe on soft sands, kayak along the stunning coast to explore hidden caves, or snorkel into a colourful underwater world. Meanwhile, the little ones will enjoy splashing around in the crystal-clear waters of Menorca’s shallow lagoons and building sandcastles on its Blue Flag beaches.
If you want a break from the beach, a horse ride or hike along the Camí de Cavalls coastal path is a scenic treat.

Jumeirah
Jumeirah’s stunning public beaches make it perfect for holidaymakers looking for fun in the sun. Kite Beach is excellent for kids, with a skate park, trampolines and kite surfing. There’s also an abundance of great restaurants and family-friendly hotels, whatever your budget or style.
Downtown Dubai
Downtown Dubai is brimming with activities for kids. Check out the enormous Dubai Mall, with its aquarium, ice rink and KidZania – a children’s educational entertainment complex. Make sure you stick around for the amazing water fountain show. You’ll find the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, here too – it’s literally unmissable.
Dubai desert
For something totally different, head into Dubai’s magical desert. Step back in time with an overnight experience that includes a traditional barbecue feast, henna art and stargazing. Kick it up a notch by sandboarding down dunes, 4x4 dune bashing or treating the whole family to the thrill of a sunset hot-air balloon ride.
