If there’s one thing I’m in need of right now, it’s a holiday! I feel like the last year of my life has gone by in the blink of an eye, and I’d love to take a bit of time out to enjoy some quality time with my little family. But where would we go? There are so many exotic-looking places I have my eye on at the moment I just can’t decide!
So, for today’s post, I thought I’d share my bucket list of family holiday destinations I’d love to visit on a fastprivatejet.com/en in the hope that some of you guys who read my blog might have been to one or more of them and can tell me what you thought of them. Are you ready to find out which places I’d like to visit? Then let’s get going!
01. BENIDORM
It’s no secret that we Brits love Benidorm holidays. And with so much to do, it’s no surprise! Whether it’s playing golf, paintballing, water sports or hiking, you could have an action-packed week or two in the sun, or enjoy a lazy little break doing next to nothing. I loved visiting Benidorm as a kid, and when my two read my post on the top things to do there, they decided that they wanted to go too. The resort, situated on the Costa Blanca, has an almost-iconic skyline of apartment towers running alongside four miles of beautiful, sandy beaches. It’s safe to say that Benidorm is the place to go if you fancy some winter sun.
02. THE ALGARVE
The Algarve is a popular holiday destination in the southernmost region of Portugal. Many things about it attract tourists to the area, including its beautiful beaches, Mediterranean climate, low costs and delicious local cuisine. Whenever I see photo’s of the Algarve, I’m always blown away by the stunning coastline, caves, and mountains, and I think it would be the perfect place to take the family for a relaxing break. The area also boasts 3 water parks, which I’m sure the kids would love to visit. It looks amazing!
03. CRETE
And last but not least of my bucket list of family holiday destinations I’d love to visit is Crete. I’ve seen lots of YouTube videos of families holidaying there recently, and it looks absolutely incredible! Crete is the largest of the Greek Islands, with lots of things for families to do there. I think Oscar would love to take a Pirate Ship Cruise. And Stacey would be in her element exploring nearby Chrissi Island. As the kids have never been out of the country before, I think Crete would be the perfect destination to take them to for their first ever trip abroad. I’d even rent a car from Rental Center Crete – rental-center-crete.com – so we could go out and explore every last bit of the island. It would be fab!And there you have it, 3 family holiday destinations I’d love to visit with the kids. Have you ever been to any of them? If so, I’d love to hear what you thought of them. It will help me choose which destination to book when payday finally rolls around!

I’d be down for either destination! That crystal clear blue green water is calling my name!
Amber Myers says
All of these places look fabulous. I could relax at any of them. In a few years our family might be able to travel more. Mostly we just stick to places in the States since it’s easier and cheaper for us.
candy says
Both of these places look really great for going on a family vacation. All that fun water and the beach. Who wouldn’t love to see and visit any of these places.
Jeanette says
Oh my gosh where can I sign up! I would love to do all of these trips. I love to travel and I love to explore in if I can find someplace like this I am pretty sure I would be in heaven.

I think it would be nice to visit Crete. My daughter has mentioned she wants to visit Greece when she is older. The pirate cruise ship sounds pretty cool, I would love that!

I am lucky enough to live in the Algarve so I’ll always recommend it for a family holiday. Great weather, cheap food and amazing beaches. What’s not to like?

The Algarve is still on my bucket list, too!
My extended family loves travelling together (20 of us) and the last trip I did with them was Hong Kong which was fun. They’ve recently been to South Korea which looked great, too!

My bucket list of places to visit with the family is steadily growing! I haven’t been to any of the three destinations you’ve mentioned but I think Crete sounds wonderful!
scots2travel says
Only Crete, and that was before kids, but I’d happily return with kids. In terms of Benidorm, I love Spain but haven’t visited this specific area. A big fan of Portugal too.
