Multigenerational Holidays - Tailor-Made Family Travel for All Ages

Bringing the whole family together for one trip is rarely just about the destination. It is about having the time to properly connect, and creating a holiday that reflects what you actually enjoy doing together.

We create tailor-made multigenerational holidays for families travelling from the UK, designed around different ages, interests and energy levels. Whether you are travelling with grandparents, teenagers or younger children, we help you plan a trip that feels natural, well-paced and built around how your family actually likes to travel.

What Is a Multigenerational Holiday?

Multigenerational holidays - often called three generation holidays - bring together grandparents, parents and children on one shared trip.

They are growing in popularity, and for good reason. Time together becomes more valuable, and travelling as a wider family allows for shared experiences that simply do not happen on smaller trips.

But while the idea is simple, the reality is more nuanced. What works for one part of the group does not always work for another, which is why these trips benefit from careful planning.

Why Multigenerational Travel Needs Careful Planning

Planning a multigenerational holiday is not just about choosing a destination. It is about designing a trip that works for everyone involved.

Some of the most common challenges include:

• Different energy levels - younger children, teenagers and grandparents have very different energy levels
• Balancing independence and time together - space matters just as much as shared experiences
• Accommodation choices - interconnecting rooms, family suites or private villas can make a huge difference
• Travel days and logistics - long transfers or complicated routes can quickly become tiring

The trips that work best are not the ones that try to do everything. They are the ones where the pace feels right, the logistics are simple, and the experiences feel considered rather than rushed.

For families travelling with younger children as well as extended family, you may also find our familymoon holidays ideas helpful.

Best Destinations for Multigenerational Holidays

Certain destinations naturally lend themselves to multigenerational travel. The key is choosing somewhere that offers flexibility, comfort and a variety of experiences without making the trip feel complicated.

Indian Ocean - Relaxed, Easy and Naturally Family-Friendly

The Indian Ocean is one of the easiest regions in the world for multigenerational holidays.

Islands such as the Maldives, Mauritius and the Seychelles offer:

• Short transfers once you arrive
• Safe, swimmable beaches
• Resorts designed with families in mind
• Space to relax without needing a busy itinerary

You can explore our Indian Ocean family holidays, or look in more detail at destinations such as the Maldives, Mauritius and the Seychelles to find the right fit for your family.

Asia - Culture, Variety and Shared Experiences

For families who want more than just a beach, Asia offers an incredible mix of culture, food and hands-on experiences.

Some parts of Asia can work well for multigenerational travel, particularly where travel is straightforward and experiences appeal across generations

You can explore our Japan family holidays or wider Asia tailor-made holidays for inspiration.

Safari and Adventure Destinations

For families looking for something more immersive, safari destinations can be incredibly rewarding.

Private guides, structured days and shared wildlife experiences create natural moments for families to come together, while still allowing time to relax in between.

You can explore our African Safaris if that is something that interests you. 

Europe - Flexible, Familiar and Easy to Reach

For families who prefer to stay closer to home, Europe offers a range of options that work particularly well for multigenerational holidays, especially when ease of travel is a priority.

Shorter flight times, minimal time differences and a wide choice of accommodation make it a strong option for families travelling with grandparents or younger children.

Greece and Turkey - Relaxed Beach Resorts with Space to Unwind

Greece and Turkey are two of the most reliable options for multigenerational beach holidays.

They offer:

• A wide range of family-friendly resorts and villas
• Warm, swimmable seas and predictable summer weather
• Accommodation that works well for larger groups, including interconnecting rooms and private villas

These destinations are ideal for families who want to spend time together in a relaxed setting, without needing to move around too much.

Austria and the Alps - Fresh Air, Scenery and Something Different

For families looking for something a little more varied, Austria and the Alps offer a different kind of multigenerational holiday.

Instead of a traditional beach break, you have:

• Easy walking trails and lift-access mountain views
• Lakeside swimming and outdoor activities
• Charming villages with a slower pace of life

This works particularly well for families who enjoy being outdoors, and for groups where not everyone wants to spend the entire trip by the pool.

How to Plan a Multigenerational Holiday

A well-planned multigenerational trip is rarely about doing more, it's about knowing where you family's interests lie and planning around what is important to your group. 

Some of the key considerations include:

• Getting the pace right
  Trying to fit too much in is one of the most common mistakes. Fewer stops, longer stays and well-planned downtime make a huge difference.
• Choosing the right accommodation
  This is often the single biggest factor. Whether it is interconnecting rooms, family suites or villas, the layout needs to work for your family.
• Simplifying travel days
  Direct flights, manageable transfer times and well-located hotels reduce stress more than most people expect.
• Timing your trip carefully
  School holidays, weather patterns and peak seasons all play a role in how enjoyable the trip feels.

Planning this properly can take many hours of research. Knowing what works in reality, rather than just on paper, is what makes the difference.

Our family holiday planning service is designed to take that pressure away, helping you make the right decisions early on so the trip feels easy from the start.

For some families, these trips overlap with what is often called a “familymoon” - travelling with younger children while still wanting a special, well-planned experience.

If that feels relevant, you can read more in our guide to planning a honeymoon with children, which explores how to balance those different expectations.

Our Approach to Multigenerational Family Holidays

We design multigenerational holidays around your family, not around pre-set packages.

That means:

• Taking the time to understand how different members of your group like to travel
• Building itineraries that balance shared experiences with space to relax
• Recommending hotels and locations that genuinely work for mixed age groups
• Handling the logistics so the trip feels smooth from start to finish

These are the kinds of trips where small details matter, and where good planning turns something potentially complicated into something genuinely enjoyable.

These are often the trips families remember for years, but they do benefit from getting the foundations right.

If you are starting to think about a multigenerational holiday, a conversation is often the easiest place to begin.
