Family Travel Designed Around You

“We can’t wait to create more family memories”

Luxury family holidays aren’t about ticking boxes. They’re about designing something personal that brings you and your loved ones closer together.

Our luxury travel team are parents who’ve been in your shoes — planning family holidays that’ll inspire the older kids, pull teens from their phones, and even include the grandparents.

We create luxury family travel experiences that go beyond the obvious — no one-size-fits-all holiday packages or resorts. Just smart, soulful, meticulously planned luxury travel designed for your family, not “families”.

We know that family travel decisions aren’t made on Google – they’re made around the dinner table. So, let’s start there: with a conversation.

Who is travelling in your family?

Kids grow up all too quickly – and so do your needs as a family. As their horse obsession morphs into a taste for parkour, you realise you can go a little bit further and try something new on your family holidays. Gone are the car seats and pool floaties, now’s the time for horseback riding and surfing. To find the best luxury trip that’s right for your family, we’ve created these pages based on types of trips, when to travel, and your children’s ages.

A Family’s Travel Story

A multigenerational family of nine came to us in search of a luxury trip that would work for everyone. With Italy in their sights, this is how – by way of pasta masterclasses, limoncello lunches, and wide-eyed reveries in the Sistine Chapel – we helped them to bond together and be together between the lakes and the Amalfi Coast.

“Black Tomato created an amazing, seamless trip to Swedish Lapland for us. Fabulous local tour guides helped us see the Northern Lights, snowmobile, fish for arctic char (that our resort then prepared for our lunch), and a visit to the Arctic Circle. Highly recommend Black Tomato’s help in planning an adventurous family-friendly holiday.” – Susan and her family

Your family, your way

We don’t start with family holiday packages. We start with people.

“Just call them”

The more we learn about your family, the better we can plan for your family. Over time, it’ll feel like we’re that that much-loved distant cousin who always seems to take holiday and enjoys sharing their inspiration.

Talk to one of our experts
To chew over some ideas, we’ll set you up with one of our ultra-knowledgeable travel specialists – giving you a chance to talk about your family, not someone else’s. And with Face to Place, you can even meet them over video call. It’s your choice.

FAQs

Everything you need to know

Below is a selection of the questions we’re most frequently asked about our luxury family holidays. If you have a question that isn’t answered here, speak to our experts for more information.

The pricing you see on our website is based on two or more people sharing the cost of all elements of that trip – including hotels, drivers, guides, and experiences. These figures give initial guidance, but your final quote will be tailored to your family’s travel dates, group size, and ideal preferences. Each journey can be customised entirely or booked as shown – the choice is yours.

Our luxury family holidays consider your family’s specific dynamics. We partner with properties that genuinely welcome children, and where the whole family can naturally feel at ease. Our extensive knowledge of family-friendly facilities – from dedicated kids clubs to family-friendly swimming pools – ensures we match each property to your children’s ages and interests. This careful curation extends to every aspect of your journey.

While childcare options vary among properties, your Travel Expert will identify accommodations offering services that align with your family’s needs. Whether you’re looking for kids clubs for some of the time you’re away, or nanny services throughout your stay, we’ll help you find it.

Our approach to family travel prioritizes security without compromising your experience. In all destinations, we focus on regions where established luxury properties and vetted local partners maintain the highest safety standards. Our extensive ground network provides real-time intelligence, while expert guides ensure families explore confidently within appropriate areas. Our curation allows families to discover vibrant cultures – from Colombia’s coffee regions to Egypt’s ancient sites – with complete peace of mind.

Luxury family holidays evolve naturally with children’s ages and interests. For young families, beach resorts provide ideal bases with essential amenities and routine. As children grow, destinations can expand to match their curiosity – from hands-on cooking classes in Italy to marine biology expeditions in Costa Rica. Our most popular family destinations balance discovery with comfort: Iceland’s natural wonders lie within easy reach of luxury lodges, while The American West, French countryside and Greek islands each offer distinct advantages for different family dynamics.

Many of our favourite destinations balance cultural depth with family-friendly experiences. In Japan, children learn traditional crafts from master artisans while parents enjoy ancient tea ceremonies. Italy’s cooking schools transform pasta-making into family workshops, while local guides make Roman ruins relevant for all ages. In Mexico, ancient Mayan sites become living classrooms, while contemporary art museums feature dedicated youth programs. Each destination allows families to join in local traditions while maintaining the comfort and pace that younger travellers may require. Our Global Travel Advisors are on hand to help if you need further inspiration on the perfect destination for your whole family

In Scotland’s Highlands, families take residence in historic castles, learning archery and falconry from resident experts. In Bhutan, carefully selected monasteries welcome families for private blessing ceremonies, while luxury camping in Morocco’s desert allows children to learn celestial navigation from Bedouin astronomers. Kenya’s private conservancies transform traditional wildlife holidays into the perfect family safari through junior ranger programs and conservation activities. To find the experiences that suit your family best, speak to our luxury travel experts.

Family travel requires expertise beyond standard luxury planning. Our specialists anticipate needs that may not occur to parents during initial planning – from selecting rooms with appropriate facilities like private pools to identifying restaurants that elevate family dining beyond children’s menus. We maintain direct relationships with property managers who understand family requirements. This network extends to selecting guides who excel at engaging different age groups, making cultural experiences relevant for every family member. While booking independently serves some travellers well, the most meaningful family journeys benefit from detailed orchestration and immediate support that our travel experts provide.

A tailored family journey extends beyond logistics to include personalised touches: private cooking classes adapted to skill levels, guides who adjust cultural narratives for different ages, and exclusive access to attractions outside regular hours to avoid crowds. We arrange meaningful interactions with local families, create opportunities for parents to enjoy private moments, and maintain flexibility to adjust pace when needed. Each aspect of your journey, from restaurant selections to activity timing, reflects your family’s specific preferences while incorporating our expertise in seamless delivery.
