A Guide to Planning the Perfect Family Vacation

First and foremost, the destination that you pick will be the key to planning a successful family vacation. Consider the interests and preferences of all your family members when choosing where to go.

Is your spouse keen on exploring the wonders of the underwater world? Perhaps a trip to an exotic island à la the Maldives would be more suitable in this case. Or maybe you’re more inclined to open your child’s worldview by allowing them to experience different cultures. Many destinations around the world are home to unique local cultures and experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

But regardless of your preferences, Club Med offers a wide range of destinations around the world which cater to various interests and age groups. Check out Club Med Kani today for an unforgettable family vacation experience, as our world-famous premium resort now caters to young families with babies from six months of age.

Once you’ve decided on your destination, it’s time to plan the activities for your family holiday. At Club Med, you’ll find a diverse range of activities and excursions suitable for all ages — ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Club Med resorts offer a variety of options, from thrilling water sports to cultural experiences and relaxing kids' clubs. Whether you're looking to take up the challenge of learning how to surf (also available at Club Med Kani) or trying your hand at mastering snowboarding on the pillowy white snow atop the peak of Japan’s iconic Hokkaido region, Club Med has it all and more for families of all sizes.

To make the most of your vacation time, it's recommended to research and book activities in advance. This ensures that you secure spots in popular activities and allows you to plan your itinerary accordingly, maximising your family's enjoyment during your stay.

Budgeting is one of the most essential parts of planning a family holiday. It is the deciding factor whether or not you’ll have a great vacation or a GREAT vacation. However, many of the world’s best family-friendly destinations may come with a hefty price tag. Thankfully, this is where all-inclusive holiday packages come in to offer an experience that is truly worth it.

Packing can be a daunting task, especially when travelling with the entire family in tow. To ensure a smooth and hassle-free experience, a packing list is a must. This list should include essential items such as sunscreen, swimwear, comfortable clothing, and any necessary travel documents.

Depending on your destination and planned activities, specialised gear such as hiking shoes or ski equipment may be required for your family holiday. But since Club Med offers all-inclusive amenities, you don’t necessarily have to pack too much. With a few equipment and activities provided onsite, you can lighten your load and focus on packing only the essentials.
