Holiday Village Atlantica Rhodes

Rhodes, Greece 

Best for: Active families 

Splash park? Check. High-ropes course? Absolutely. Raft-building sessions? You bet. Holiday Village Atlantica Rhodes is more like an adventure park than a hotel, so there’s loads to please those family members with extra energy to burn off. Sign up for canoeing and archery, or book a session on the tennis courts to make the most of being outside in the lovely Greek weather and away from a school classroom. 

Once you’ve racked up your daily step count, relax in one of the resort’s five pools – one of which has a swim-up bar (maxed-out parents, we see you.) There are even slides and chutes for extra splash fun.  

When it’s time to refuel, you’ve got three restaurants to choose from, all already included with you package. Accommodation wise, you can upgrade your family stay to a swim-up room or a chic suite with private pool. 

Holiday Village Seaview Ibiza 

Ibiza, Spain 

Best for: Adventurous families 

The clue is in the name at the Holiday Village Seaview Ibiza – it comes with world-class views of Port des Torrent’s sun-soaked coastline. The best thing about this place, though? You’ll have access to the onsite Sirenis Aquagames waterpark six days per week. It’s home to loads of adrenaline-inducing chutes and slides, like Kamikaze, Tornado and Aquaracer, plus there’s a fun-filled splash area just for little ones, so  all ages are catered for. 

Back on dry land, there are activities including archery and tennis, plus the Aerial Adventure course zig-zagging above your head.   

The family rooms here tick off everything from fully equipped kitchenettes, spacious twin beds and comfy lounge areas, so you’ll find a home-away-from-home for your large family holiday. 

Holiday Village Turkey 

Dalaman Area, Turkey 

Best for: Beach lovers 

Bringing the grandparents along for extra backup on your next family holiday? Holiday Village Turkey is a must-visit for guests of all ages, from the youngest pool splashers to the slightly more mature beach relaxers. It’s set on a huge, sandy beach, meaning you can cool off in either the pool or the sea at the drop of a hat. When it comes to the kids, seven different pools with action-packed slides and chutes will keep them busy (and burning energy) until bedtime. 

As for chilling out, all stays come with a TV, air-conditioning and either a balcony or terrace. Family rooms are available, too, with a lounge area separated off from the bedroom. Or, you could always treat yourself to an upgrade – depending on availability, you could book a family room with a kids’ den, or a suite with a whirlpool bath.
