A great family holiday is designed around energy levels, not landmarks.
Rule 1: One anchor activity per day
Plan one highlight each day and keep the rest flexible. Grandparents and toddlers both need unstructured afternoons.
Rule 2: Choose stays with space
Serviced villas and suite-style hotels beat multiple rooms — shared evenings are where the memories happen.
Rule 3: Alternate pace days
Follow a big day (safari, theme park) with a slow one (pool, beach, spa).
Rule 4: Book interconnecting rooms early
Family configurations sell out first — lock them in when you confirm.
Rule 5: Pre-arrange transfers
Airport chaos is the fastest way to lose the group's goodwill.
Rule 6: Let kids choose one stop
A single child-picked activity buys hours of good behaviour.
