This summer, families looking beyond the typical sun-and-sand holiday can dive into a vibrant world of quirky adventures across Mauritius, Saint Lucia, and Europe's most enchanting destinations.

From football clubs with sporting legends along the golden Algarve coast to imaginative nature activities set amid Mauritius' tropical landscape, these unique family escapes promise unforgettable experiences for all ages.

Following the trend of adventure-focused getaways, ABTA's Holiday Habits 2024-2025 Report shows that 12% of travellers opted for adventure holidays last year, rising to 25% among younger families eager for dynamic and engaging experiences.

These destinations and resorts offering playful activities and experiences, will delight children and adults alike ensuring a truly memorable family summer getaway.

MAURITIUS: Discovering the natural world has been turned into a huge adventure for kids at Heritage Awali in Mauritius.

The complimentary Kids' Club offers a myriad of nature-based activities for all ages, designed to awaken the creativity of young minds, encourage exploration and shared fun.

Kids love the 'Yellow Submarine' play centre (that looks just like one) which they enter via a slide. It teaches them all about marine life and its delicate eco system in a playful and interactive way.

Kids and families can also complete the 'Petit Ecolo Passport' booklet which guides them through the treasures of the Bel Ombre area whilst flagging various environmental aspects. They can learn more about parakeets and other birds at the Bel Ombre Nature Reserve and explore the extraordinary spectacle of nature at Chamarel 7 Coloured Earth Geopark.
