The teenage choice  

Sure, getting an answer out of a teenager can be difficult at the best of times, but with most scrolling the internet for hours on end, they might have some inspiration of their own on where to head to on holiday. The perfect family holiday offers space for everyone – a spa for the grown-ups, a splash pool for the youngest and some sports clubs or activities for those who want to venture out on their own. The TUI MAGIC LIFE Belek in Turkey has all of that. We’re talking beach volleyball courts, tennis courts, a football pitch and even a mountain bike station. Plus, there’s a teens’ club to keep them occupied through the day. The perks of picking your own All Inclusive trip mean that all of this is possible at no extra cost.

It’s all included 

All Inclusive doesn’t just mean unlimited food and drink (including alcohol for those in charge.) TUI MAGIC LIFE hotels also have a whole mix of activities included in the package. Think teen-friendly fitness classes, eSports tournaments and even DJ workshops. These options give your kids the independence they want to go out and do their own thing without adding any extra stress to you. At the TUI MAGIC LIFE Fuerteventura, Spain, the sandy beach of Playa de Esquinzo is down just a few steps from where you’re staying. Teens can explore to their heart’s content and take advantage of everything on offer without you needing to join in. Even if you wanted to, Teens’ Time here is just for them – sorry. From May until October, this place runs outdoor games tournaments and an evening programme. Sit back and holiday your way, knowing that they can do the same.

Family vibes 

No family holiday should be spent totally apart – after all, quality time together is the main goal here. There are wholesome family opportunities whatever your vibe, from joining in group activities together, to making the most of extras such as outdoor cinema screenings, or simply sharing an indulgent mealtime at the on-site restaurants. At the TUI MAGIC LIFE Plimmiri in Greece, you can even book a room with a private pool, shared just between your family and the one next door. Sorted. The hotel’s on a sandy beach and there are three pools plus a waterpark, too. Show them how it’s done and back yourself for the biggest splash – you can milk that for months.

Out-there experiences 

It’s not just about chilling out on the sand – get the gang together for some unforgettable adventures. The TUI MAGIC LIFE Kalawy in Egypt has its own salsa dancing lessons, plus scuba diving lessons are held in the hotel’s pool. The experiences continue at the dinner table, too, with Italian, Far East and Egyptian cuisine on the menu and five different restaurants to pick from. No more sticking to fish fingers and chips – it’s time to branch out.
