The Luxury Travel Experts
Luxury family travel isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about designing something personal – a trip that gets who you are and brings you and your loved ones closer together.
Look at our luxury travel team and you’ll find plenty of parents who’ve been in your shoes — planning effortlessly elevated trips that’ll impress older kids, inspire teens to look up from their phones, and even earn a knowing nod from the grandparents.
Over the years, we’ve created family journeys that go beyond the obvious — no cookie-cutter blueprints, no resorts disguised as one-size-fits-all vacation packages. Just smart, soulful, meticulously planned luxury travel designed around real families that’ll keep your group chat glowing and your memories flowing
Ultimately, 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. By getting to know what makes you you, we can craft luxury journeys that actually feel like you.
These services emerged from conversations and coffee chats we’ve had with each other – and with the families who travel with us. In devising them, we asked ourselves a single, simple question: what’s missing from the world of luxury family travel – and how can we bring it to life?
Hands-on experiences bring the classroom into the world. It’s about learning by living...

We know how important it is to get from A to B before the boredom kicks in. If that means limiting long drives, timing breaks just right, or having snacks, games, playlists, and backup chargers on hand — we’ve got you covered. Comfort, calm, and happy kids make for a much smoother ride.
We know the scroll can be strong. But we’ve curated luxury family experiences that cut through — wild, weird, and thrilling, or just unexpectedly cool. Think fun, hands-on, high-octane, or deeply local. And yes, they’ll probably post about it (but only afterwards).
When you’re traveling with the whole family — parents, kids, little ones, in-laws — space and comfort matter. We’ll plan the right experiences and activities, provide transport that’s perfectly matched to your needs, private guides, and whatever else you need so everyone has room to stretch out and do their thing. No squabbles here.
Not every hour needs an itinerary. Whether it’s a slow morning, a lazy afternoon, or days with space to just ‘be’, we’ll build in time for everyone to rest, regroup, and recharge — without losing your momentum.
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 realize you can go a little bit further and try something new on your family vacations. 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.

Below is a selection of the questions we're most frequently asked about our luxury family vacations. 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 customized entirely or booked as shown – the choice is yours.
Every journey we design considers your family’s specific dynamics. We partner with properties that genuinely welcome children, and where families of all types 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.
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 vacations 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 favorite 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 travelers may require. Our Global Travel Advisors are on hand to help if you need further inspiration.
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 safaris 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 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 travelers 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 personalized 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.
Each family’s composition shapes our approach to journey design. For multi-generational groups, we create layered experiences that resonate across ages – perhaps a morning where teenagers explore Tokyo’s anime culture while younger siblings join a samurai workshop, and grandparents enjoy a private tea ceremony with a master practitioner. College-age children might photograph street fashion in Harajuku while parents and younger ones learn origami, before all generations reunite for a family ramen-making class. We carefully balance activity levels, incorporate appropriate breaks, and arrange private experiences that flex with different energy levels and interests. This thoughtful orchestration ensures each family member, whether eight or eighty, finds their own connection to the destination while sharing memorable moments together.
In a word, yes. Our approach to family travel extends from selecting flights that work with your schedules to arranging private drivers with appropriate car seats and space for luggage. We coordinate comfortable arrival experiences – whether that’s expedited immigration or direct helicopter transfers to remote properties. Our network of in-country partners remains on call to adjust arrangements should plans change, while our 24-hour support ensures immediate assistance throughout your journey. This leaves you able to focus entirely on your family’s experience rather than managing travel mechanics.
For the best chance of securing preferred accommodation and experiences, we recommend speaking to our experts six to twelve months ahead. Peak periods – such as spring break and festive seasons – often require longer lead times, particularly for exclusive properties with limited family suites. This advanced timeline also allows us to thoughtfully craft each element of your journey, from coordinating specialist guides to arranging private access at cultural sites. However, our extensive network occasionally enables us to create remarkable last-minute experiences when circumstances require. Regardless of when you’d like your luxury family vacation to be, get in touch now.
