Picture this: a vacation where every detail is tailored not just to the whims of adults but to the adventurous spirits of your school-aged children as well. A getaway where luxury meets the laughter and energy of youngsters, creating a harmonious blend of splendor and excitement. Welcome to the refined experience of traveling luxuriously with your school-aged kids.
Here are some tips from the team at My Vacation Lady to help make your family vacation a bit more luxe and lots of fun for all!
Add Adventures That Educate and Entertain
- Check into some historical tours that feel like stepping into a time machine, complete with costume dressing and interactive storytelling. One that comes to mind in Rome is Gladiator School
- Marine expeditions, where children can come face-to-face with wildlife and ecosystems, guided by experts who make learning fascinating and immersive. Hawaii is great for these type of experience and one is the Wikiwiki Molokini snorkeling excursion.
- In the Bahamas, try something really fun- the Famous Swimming with Pigs, Sharks and Manta Rays.
- Stargazing sessions under the night sky with astronomers, turning the universe into a playground of imagination. Ask us about the rooftop Stargazing at they Hyatt Regency Maui. For older kids- check out the Mauna Kea Summit and Stars adventure. Kids need to be 13 and up but this is a once in a lifetime experience!
Cultural Immersion With a Taste
- Explore a a traditional Greek meal with a visit to a local market and a cooking class, in Mykonos.
- Try private cooking classes like this Private traditional Cooking Class in Naxos, Greece.
Thrills and Chills for Every Family Member
Blending exhilaration with elegance, luxury vacations can offer unique experiences that cater to the daredevil in every kid (and adult!):
- Private yacht charters for a day of sailing, snorkeling, and fun- like this Private Catamaran Full Day Charter in St Lucia. You can stop at the Mud Baths, head to the Volcano and Sulphur Springs or even add on Ziplining
- Exclusive access to theme parks or attractions, including VIP tours or special sessions where children can learn behind-the-scenes secrets or meet their favorite characters without the crowds.
- Luxury camping or “glamping” in breathtaking locations, where families can enjoy the great outdoors without forgoing the creature comforts.
