Sublime Sardinia “We’ve visited Baia dei Mori Beach Club in Sardinia twice with our 16-year-old daughter. Set within a peaceful pine forest, the resort is a short walk to the beach. The activities are fantastic: I loved cycling through the Sardinian hills, my wife enjoyed yoga and fitness in the forest, while Lily spent her days mastering windsurfing, paddleboarding and wing foiling with the help of enthusiastic instructors. Meals were a highlight, whether a relaxed lunch in the sun or a long, sociable dinner under the stars.“ Simon Davies, operations director, Neilson

Bequia’s the way “My teenagers felt at home in the tranquil setting of Bequia in St Vincent and the Grenadines, with its turtle sanctuary and abundance of wildlife, coconuts cut straight from the tree and fresh seafood barbecues. With the children content flopping around the pool and dipping in the sea with minimal distractions, everyone was able to relax and switch off – a rare commodity that made this one of our most memorable family holidays.”
Awesome Andalusia “Our most recent stay at Ikos Andalusia was nothing short of exceptional, celebrating our daughter’s GCSE results with two of her friends. We absolutely loved it there; it caters to all age groups, with outstanding dining options that rank among our favourites across the Ikos resorts. Everything is conveniently within walking distance, making it easy to relax and enjoy. We are already looking forward to our next visit!” Jennifer Lonergan, company

23 24 Cool Croatia
“My wife, teenage daughter and I travelled on Explore’s Family Dubrovnik and Croatian Islands itinerary last summer. The highlights were the watersports: three days of kayaking around Lopud and Sipan as well as daily opportunities to swim and snorkel. The pace of this trip is relaxed, so there’s plenty of downtime to go out for meals and enjoy Lopud island. The city tour of Dubrovnik was excellent too.” Andy Gallagher, customer experience
