EASTER BREAKS
Pine Cliffs Resort, Portugal
ways b 32
y the time Easter rolls around on Sunday, March 31, spring should be well and truly in the air. And with the two-week break extending into
April, there’s plenty of time for families to seek sunshine overseas, whether they’re looking for a short-haul hop, a mid-haul getaway or a jam-packed long-haul escape. Every family’s ideal trip differs, whether they’re travelling as
a large, multigenerational unit of all ages, as a family of four with teenage children or as a couple with a baby or toddler in tow. And while some packages will allow for families to spend all their time together, others will cater for independent activities too, offering kids’ clubs and sports facilities, for example. The cost-of-living crisis may mean some are tightening their belts and seeking shorter trips closer to home, but others may be looking for that once-in-a-lifetime holiday somewhere far-flung before their kids get too old. From cultural experiences to poolside fun, here are nine holidays that cater for every sort of family fun this Easter.
