When it comes to planning luxury family holidays for a multi-generational getaway or travelling with toddlers and teens, we make sure that you find the perfect balance between all ages.

No two families are the same and we know planning a holiday for all of you can be stressful at the best of times, but that’s where we come in. Planning luxury family breaks doesn’t need to be laborious. We will take the headache out of complex organising so your experience can be enjoyable from start to finish. At SevenTravel, we’re the experts at planning exclusive family holidays and we want to hear about the kinds of holidays both the adults and the children enjoy, and we’ll come up with the perfect family holiday itinerary.

Maybe your perfect trip is a family-friendly African safari, where kids will get the ultimate thrill of spotting the Big Five in the wild – the lion, leopard, black rhinoceros, African bush elephant, and African buffalo. They will be mesmerised by seeing such beautiful and formidable animals in real life and will have plenty to tell their friends back at home – and lots of photos to show their classmates.

If a safari isn’t what your family desires, there are plenty of other incredible luxury family holiday destinations to explore, such as Oman, which is a safe and welcoming country that conjures up images of authentic Arabia. If the family are looking to kick back and relax, maybe the perfect tonic is some quality time on a sun-soaked beach in somewhere like Mauritius. Let us set the scene: the days are long and warm, and your family can spend the time snorkelling, kayaking or just lazing on the powder-soft sand. It really is up to you. Our Travel Designers know that every family is different, so they will come up with luxury family holiday ideas that are unique to you, and have a mix of relaxation and activity time. They’ll ensure you have a family getaway that will be recounted in photo albums for years to come.
