FAQs
Not all of our family hotels have kids’ clubs, but many offer other facilities for younger guests. Depending on the hotel, these may include children’s pools, splash parks, playgrounds, family activities and entertainment. Kids’ club age ranges, opening times and seasonal availability can vary, so check the individual hotel details before booking if supervised childcare is important to your holiday.
A family holiday doesn’t have to revolve entirely around the children. Spend your days enjoying the attractions at Disneyland Paris, swimming and relaxing on a beach holiday or exploring museums, markets and local food on a city break. Many family resorts also offer activities for different age groups, giving you the chance to spend time together while still allowing everyone to enjoy activities that suit them.
Spain and Greece are popular choices for family holidays, with relatively short flights from the UK, sandy beaches and plenty of hotels geared towards families, including properties with children’s pools and kids’ clubs. Further afield, Orlando is a strong option for theme-park holidays, while Caribbean resorts can work well for families looking for beach time and plenty to do on site. The right destination will depend on your children’s ages, preferred journey time and the type of holiday you want.
What’s included in your family holiday depends on the hotel and board basis you choose. Your British Airways Holidays package includes your flights and accommodation, while some hotels also include meals, activities, entertainment or kids’ clubs. Choose an all-inclusive family holiday and meals, drinks and selected activities may also be included, making it easier to plan your spending before you travel. Check the individual hotel details before booking to see exactly what your stay includes.
