Riviera Maya

Take in the awesome Mayan cultural heritage at Riviera Maya, a safe but exciting area of Mexico for families to explore ancient culture.

WHY GO?

As well as the whilte sand beaches and lush vegetation, one of the best things about the Riviera Maya is its mix of big resorts with in-house restaurants and smaller local Mexican cafés, shops and bars that make beach holidays so pleasurable.

 

WHO’S IT GOOD FOR?

Older children and teens will love the Mayan Rivera. They’ll appreciate the magic history of the ancient kingdom and have fun exploring the landscape.

 

ACTIVITIES

Sian Ka’an is a thrilling day out. You can speedboat across a lagoon to an ancient, limestone-lined shallow canal built by the Mayans 1,000 years ago. 

Another site that we think is worth exploring is Coba, a lost Mayan city, with parts still covered over by jungle.  Once home to 50,000 people, Coba’s treasures, temples and pyramids are best reached by bicycle or, if your not keen on cycling, a rickshaw tricycle.  

Those prepared for a fairly long day out will be captivated by an excursion to the inland Mayan site of Chichen-Itza, and a climb up its 30-metre step pyramid.  We also love Uxmal with it’s unsusual smooth round pyramid that – legend has it – was built in one.

 

WHAT TO EAT

Don’t miss authentic Mexican delights like tacos and guacamole while in town or at the beach cafés; resorts tend to serve international food guaranteed to please all palates. For an Italian vibe try Playa del Carmen with its restaurants offering perfectly prepared pasta and risotto that’s ideal for smaller or fussy children.

 

THE LOWDOWN

Where to stay: Try the Fairmont Mayakoba, one of the most upmarket hotels in the region, and they will arrange a private visit to Sian Ka’an, which includes a fabulous lunch set out on white linen on the shore of the lake.

How to get there: Fly with British Airways from London Gatwick to Cancun from £650 return. Or try Virgin Atlantic from £640 return.

Travel time: 9-10 hours. 

Hotel: A seven-night stay at the Fairmont Mayakoba costs around £6,370 for two adults and two children sharing a room, including flights and breakfast.

Mazda 6 Tourer Review: Driving to the New Forest

Richard Yarrow test drives the Mazda6 Tourer on a family weekend in the New Forest.

MAZDA6 TOURER: THE LOWDOWN

Best known for its MX-5 two-seater, Mazda has had a quiet few years. While rival brands have been finding new customers by developing innovative and desirable smaller vehicles, the Japanese company has chosen to stick with a more traditional line-up. That’s no bad thing, but the models it does haveneed to deliver. The Mazda6 is its best to date, and with genuinely innovative engine technology, it’s also extremely fuel-efficient, so cost-effective to own.

The hotel had bikes, helmets and even wellies for guests’ use – another example of Lime Wood’s attention to detail – and as we had plans to explore the New Forest, we bundled everything into the Mazda’s large boot. It proved a versatile vehicle with plenty of room for two kids and their stuff in the back.

WHAT THE MOTORING PRESS SAYS…

‘The perfect large family car, with plenty of space and practicality in a package that’s affordable to run and great to drive.’ carbuyer.co.uk

‘Excellent cabin space and a generous boot, with masses of room in the front and rear.’ whatcar.com

‘An attractively styled estate car with a practical cabin of decent quality.’ autocar.co.uk

BUY

Model: 2.2-litre 175bhp diesel with six-speed manual gearbox.

Trim level: top-spec ‘Sport Nav’ grade.

Family-friendly features: fold-flat interior, Isofix child-seat fixings,

USB connectivity.

Euro NCAP safety rating: 5 stars.

Fuel economy: 61.4 mpg.

CO2 emissions: 121g/km.

Price: £21,315-£27,595.

DRIVING TO THE NEW FOREST

With no castle walls to storm, no dramatic hills to climb, no spectacular views and no amusement parks, the New Forest is perhaps not top of your list of places to visit with the kids. Many families head west to the seaside attractions of Bournemouth and Weymouth, for Brighton or straight on to the Isle of Wight. But this beautiful and ancient forestland – it’s mentioned in the Domesday Book – has plenty to entertain adventurous families for a weekend or longer. We made the trip in the Mazda6 Tourer, a smartly styled estate car that’s new this year.

CHASING CARS

Appropriately, our first port of call was to see more four-wheelers, at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieu, in the south-east corner of the forest. It has more than 250 vehicles on show, motoring from the earliest 19th-century models right up to those launched this year. Racing cars, motorbikes and world land speed record machinery are all there. I’m not sure who was more excited to see the original Chitty Chitty Bang Bang – the kids or my wife. The family-oriented Wheels exhibition, where you sit in pods that glide past tableaux, is a great way to explore how cars have changed our lives. Alsoworth a look is World of Top Gear, an exhibition of the crazy creations from the TV show.

BUCKLER’S HARD

We also drove the few miles to Buckler’s Hard, an 18th-century river village where ships for Nelson’s navy and the Battle of Trafalgar were built. The museum is packed with artefacts and information, and the children did a quiz as we went round.

NATURE

One of the New Forest’s main attractions is the ponies, which have lived wild on the heathland for centuries. There are thousands of them, and if you’re in the area long enough you will see them. They’re calm enough for you to get up close.

There are plenty of other activities on offer locally. The flat landscape means it’s ideal for family cycling, and there are several bike-hire centres. Canoeing, archery, a steam railway, wildlife park and tree-top adventure centre are all within easy reach.

WATERSPORTS

Watersports such as sailing are available at Lymington and Milford. The good news is that because the whole New Forest is only 20 miles by 20 miles, nothing is ever too far away. It’s a great family destination.

 

WHERE TO EAT

We finished off with a tasty if expensive lunch at The Master Builder’s Hotel on the waterfront, then a 30-minute narrated cruise on the river.

 

WHERE TO STAY

With the weather closing in, we headed for our accommodation at Lime Wood. This luxury hotel is on the outskirts of Lyndhurst, a pretty village in the centre of the New Forest, and hidden away up a long drive. We were staying away from the main building, in one of two newly built Forest Cottages down by the front gate.

They have been beautifully and tastefully created from wood, and ours had every conceivable bread for an arrival snack. There was kids’ crockery and cutlery, comfy sofas to lounge on and – treat of all treats for my two – a wall-mounted TV in the children’s bedroom. Upstairs, my wife and I discovered the large and elegant bedroom and luxurious bathroom.

Staff were friendly and helpful, and we immediately felt right at home.

An hour-long massage at the on-site Herb House spa was also very welcome after our day out.

I had reservations about how family-friendly the restaurant would be. Joint head chef is Angela Hartnett, one of the UK’s most high-profile cooks, and walking in it felt a long way from regular haunts such as Pizza Express. My fears proved unfounded; the kids’ menu had plenty of choice and my daughter proclaimed her burger the best ever.

PRICE

A Forest Hideaway suite at Lime Wood costs from £555 per night for a family of four; cottages cost from £650 per night. For more information go to newforestnpa.gov.uk

Menton, France

Young children will love taking part in the Lemon Festival, the colourful annual event in sunny Menton.

Why go?

Just a 40-minute drive from Nice Airport, with fantastic views and a stop-off in Monaco, Menton has year-round appeal – for parents and children.

Because it enjoys a subtropical microclimate, citrus fruit and exotic gardens have thrived here for centuriesand it has been on the map for its 365 days of sunshine a year. 

The narrow, cobbled streets are filled with fruit sculptures, bright colours and the sound of marching bands. It also has two lovely town beaches with shallow, clean water, and there is plenty to explore.

Activities

When you’re not mingling with lemons and oranges, there is plenty more to see in this beautiful town. There are cafés in the main square, and for families it’s a convenient place to relax in because it’s accessible and good for children on wheels.

The markets showing off all of the locally produced fresh fruit and vegetables are a must-see – a good way to tempt reluctant toddlers to try something a little more exotic than apples and bananas. Menton has four French markets and three Italian markets each week, so there’s plenty of variety.

The town also has beautiful gardens to explore, two imposing baroque churches and two town beaches.

Don’t miss: The Fête du Citron, the annual Lemon Festival, which happens in February or March, and is one of the most vibrant times ofyear to visit. 

Menton bursts into life as the locals celebrate the town’s citrus fruit production. An endless surge of families and masked revellers in fancy dress advance through the town. It’s a visual spectacular with something for everyone and the festival has been pulling crowds since 1895. 

Highlights include a Moonlit Parade, the Parade of the Golden Fruit, a citrus display in the Jardin Biovès, a light and sound show, an orchid festival, and the chance to see local artisans in action, carving wood, engraving glass, and showing off their ceramics, pottery, and local cuisine. Kids will love the parade atmosphere.

The lowdown

Where to stay: The main bay sweeping round from the Italian border, on the Porte de France, has a pretty promenade with informal places to eat, as well as a number of hotels. 

Set on the seafront, the Hôtel Napoléon has a swimming pool and a cool, modern feel. All rooms have TV, iPod dock and air conditioning and the hotel is 100m away from a private beach.

The staff there all speak good English and enquiries can be made through the website about activities in the area and around the hotel, as well as the accommodation and family facilities.

Price: From €275 for double occupancy with a garden or mountain view room.

How to get there: British Airways flies from London Gatwick to Nice; from £78 return. 

Travel time: It is a 3 hour flight, with 45 mins transfer from Nice Airport to Menton.

Skiing Holidays in the Pyrenees

If you’re searching for a destination with quality skiing, the reassurance of heavy snowfalls and a traditional welcome, relax… you’ve just found it. The French Pyrenees…

WHY GO?

If you’re searching for a destination with quality skiing, the reassurance of heavy snowfalls and a traditional welcome, relax… you’ve just found it. The French Pyrenees are a vast winter wonderland set in a breathtaking yet accessible location between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, close to the borders of Spain and Andorra. These are real mountains, with 575km of high-altitude terrain, groomed to perfection for leisure skiers and families to enjoy, along with extensive off-piste potential for freeriders and ski tourers. They get big snow, too (Cauterets, for example, was named World’s Snowiest Resort in 2013) and as you’ll discover, they all offer a refreshing breath of French air.

WHERE TO STAY

In recent years huge investments have been quietly transforming the ski areas to satisfy a whole new generation of skiers and snowboarders, both on and off the mountain. So when it comes to deciding where to stay, there’s now plenty of choice. Cosy traditional villages in sheltered valley settings are still hugely popular, but if you’d prefer to be closer to the action on the mountain you’ll love the convenience of our ski-in/ski-out villages, from which powerful high-speed lift systems whisk you all the way up to (and sometimes beyond) 2400m, both faster and more smoothly than ever before.

When you get there you can head all the way down the mountain if the mood takes you, as a high proportion of runs are equipped with state-of-the-art snowmaking to keep the slopes open throughout what can be a satisfyingly long season.

THE AREA

Whatever you’re planning, you’re likely to be pleasantly surprised by the friendly company you’ll be keeping, for generations of French families learned to ski in the Pyrenees, and they return each season to enjoy re-skiing their favourite runs with friends old and new. Better still, you’ll find a similarly relaxed, easy-going spirit among local shopkeepers, hoteliers and restaurant owners, who take pride in offering quality service, combined with solid value.

RELAXATION

Talking of relaxation, the region has also long been celebrated for its thermal spas, many of which have also been undergoing something of a transformation. The result is an impressive selection of family-friendly aqua centres where you can unwind in real style at the end of an action-packed day on the mountain. Enjoy a soothing massage or some shameless spa pampering, with saunas, Jacuzzis and fitness suites, or simply let off any remaining steam in large heated indoor pools. Today they’re equipped with fun things like waterfalls, underwater massage jets and more.

HOW TO GET THERE

As for accessibility, there are short transfers from flights into Toulouse, Tarbes Lourdes, Pau, Carcassonne and Perpignan, or if you prefer greener rail travel take the Eurostar to Paris, followed by a smooth, relaxing TGV high-speed rail service to the main cities. Of course, for family and other groups driving can still have its advantages, particularly as you’ll be on the efficient French autoroute network from your choice of Channel port almost all the way to your ski destination.

Messinia, Greece

If you’re looking for a school holiday destination that’s not overrun with British holidaymakers then this is your spot. Hire a villa here.

Why go?

Without the high volume of tourism, your holiday money goes further in this area. Eating out is noticeably cheaper than the Greek islands, and sunbeds generally come free if you buy a drink.

Activities

Methoni’s Ottoman fortress is perched at the top of a rocky promontory, reached, just like a fairytale castle, by crossing a stone bridge. There are lots of lovely seashore tavernas in the village serving fresh seafood. Koroni’s Venetian fortress stands over a pebble beach where boats dock to bring in fresh fish for lunch. There’s also a small sand beach at the far end of the bay where the sea washing on both sides and rocks to scramble on provide the play area, while you enjoy views of the fort from your sunbed under palm fronds. 

If ruins appeal, there’s Ancient Olympia to visit; also the Palace home of the 13th century BCE king, Nestor, and Ancient Messini, where you can still see the grooves worn by chariot wheels in the 4th century BCE.

 

Don’t miss: A family trip to horseshoe-shaped Voidokoilia beach on the west side, one of the most glorious and undeveloped beaches you will ever see. Its turquoise water is shallow for a long way out so good for tots and messing around on inflatables. It can get windy – so hog a spot by the rocks. 

The lowdown

Where to stay: Good bases for a self-catering holiday are the small, quiet villages of Chrani and Petalidi, joined by a shingle bay halfway down the Eastern side of the finger.

Both have good quality tavernas, bars and mini markets, villas with private pools with expansive views across the gulf toward the Mani, and those rarities in Greece, power showers and mattress toppers.

Nearby, is the pristine beach of Episkopi, where trees are your parasols; empty barring a few locals at weekends. There’s a stream running into the beach, which provides hours of fun for little damming and netting enthusiasts.

Another good but busier base is Finikounda at the fingertip. This has a pleasant sandy beach, backed by tavernas and cobbled lanes of shops. Standing guard either side of Finikounda are the stunning fortress towns of Methoni and Koroni, where kids can model their sandcastles on the real thing, Castle Methoni, looming over the beach. 

How to get there: From 6 July, direct flights from London to Kalamata will be available from £165.86 with easyJet.

Travel time: 3 hours and 45 minutes direct to Kalamate International from where you can reach the resorts in under an hour.

Beach

Mnemba Island Tanzania

Just 1.5km in circumference, this Indian Ocean gem is framed by soft white sand and sparkling turquoise waters and welcomes children of all ages.

Why go?

It’s the place to spend a relaxing break after you’ve gone on a safari in Tanzania: it’s just a 15 minute boat ride from the Zanzibar coast to Mnemba Island. Better still, this private island hideaway isn’t the exclusive reserve of honeymooners, but welcomes families with children of all ages.

We left our shoes in our case for the duration of our stay: there is something so wonderfully decadent about barefoot living.

Activities

On the island: Activities include snorkelling, diving, kayaking and fishing, and the island offers a safe and secure environment for children to play, whether that’s swimming in the sea, taking part in the island treasure hunt, playing footie on the beach or collecting shells along the seafront.

In the sea: Snorkelling is a real highlight, and the island’s dive masters are also masters at teaching children how to get used to the mask and searching for tropical fish. Here, kids can find clownfish (of Finding Nemo fame), angelfish, snake eels, starfish and some stunningly beautiful coral – and that was just on out first venture into the house reef. If you have children that love underwater wildlife, snorkelling will feature highly in your stay. We could hardly drag our daughter Molly out of the water. 

Boat trip: We also took a boat out to the southwest of the island and spotted a pod of dolphins. My top tip here: take your snorkelling gear with you. We dived off the boat and joined the beautiful and playful mammals as they swam around us, which was really very special and Molly didn’t stop squeaking with joy for days.

Accommodation

The beach bandas were a real rustic-lux combo and had a colonial feel to them: dark wood furniture and cream/white fabrics. Waking up to the sound of the water lapping just metres away, drinking tea in bed – bought to you by a personal butler – while looking out over the sparkling blue ocean is idyllic, and the perfect way to unwind after a safari trip, before heading home.

There are just 10 beach bandas, meaning there are never more than 25 guests on the island at any time, and the aforementioned butler will look after your every whim, including filling your mini bar with your preferred tipples. Laundry even disappears each morning and miraculously returns washed and pressed later in the day.

The lowdown

Price: Rates are from £506 per person, per night including all meals, drinks, laundry and activities (excludingscuba tuition). 

Book: Flights and accommodation can be booked through African Odysey at africaodyssey.com or andbeyond.com

Travel time: A flight from London to Zanzibar takes 10 hours and 15 minutes. It then takes around 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to Mnemba Island.

How to get there: Emirates flies from London to Zanzibar International Airport; from £614 return. The lodge will collect you from the airport, where you will travel by boat to the island. Getting to the resort requires a little wading to shore, so be prepared if you have small children.

Modena, Italy: Home of Ferrari

A city-break for car-loving teens, Modena’s Motor Valley celebrates all the big Italian sports cars and has just opened its new Ferrari museum.

Activities

The city’s fast car heritage is now being celebrated in the new Museo Casa Enzo Ferrari, a museum celebrating the life, loves and cars of Ferrari boss, Enzo. This is a museum for the true Ferrari aficionado and set in his former family home, a 19th century red brick carriage workshop where Enzo was born and his father Alfred worked. The museum’s new exhibition space has been built to replicate the Modena-yellow Ferrari bonnet. Inside this vast hanger is a collection of rare vintage sports cars, which have influenced Enzo over the years.

To get your head under shiny Ferrari bonnets, travel a few kilometres outside of Modena to the Museo Farrari, Maranello. While your budding Lewis Hamilton’s are too young to get behind the wheel of a real sports car, check out the museum’s F1 Driving Experience (€25), a Formula 1 driving simulator which takes wannabes around the Grand Prix track at Monza.

Why go?

There’s only one place in Italy to take fledgling petrol heads and that’s Modena, the roaring capital of Motor Valley. This pretty little medieval town in the heart of the Po Valley, with its cobbled squares and ancient spires, is famous as the birthplace of the world’s fastest cars. All the big Italian sports cars, Ferrari, De Tomaso, Lamborghini, Pagani and Maserati, were made here. 

The lowdown

Best time to go: Spring and autumn are the nicest times to visit, during July and August it can be very hot.

Travel time: Flights from London to Bologna take just over 2 hours, it is then a 35 minute transfer to Modena.

How to get there: British Airways flies from London Heathrow to Bologna; from £153 return. easyJet flies from London Gatwick to Bologna; from £60.48 return.  

More information: Combined tickets to visit the Ferrari Museum and Casa Enzo Ferrari are €22 for adults and €18 for children. Get more information on the region.

Monterey Peninsula

California’s coastal route, one of the most beautiful in the world, culminates in the Monterey Peninsula

Why go?

A tour which starts in LA and ends in San Francisco – or vice versa – is highly recommended to experience California’s central coastal route, one of the most beautiful in the world. The gentle stretch, which culminates in the Monterey Peninsula, is packed with family attractions.

Younger kids will love splashing around on the beautiful beaches, which range from wide-sprawling vistas to little bays, while tweens and teens can explore the natural wonders on hikes or horseback.

Activities

Heading north from Los Angeles, stop at Pismo Beach, which has eight miles of towering sand dunes with buggies for hire to explore them, and horseback riding along the sands.

But it’s not all about the beach; not to be missed is Hearst Castle, a fairytale hilltop mansion filled with treasures accumulated by the newspaper magnate who inspired Citizen Kane. There are spectacular pools, home movies featuring Hollywood’s greatest names and so many funny anecdotes, older kids will enjoy a visit as much as adults. Stop over at nearby San Simeon where there’s a good range of accommodation. 

Just south of Monterey is Big Sur, a great place to hike, with some of the best scenery in the area and plenty of trails to follow. There’s a range of lodging, from campsites to luxury hotels, and you can refuel at one of the family-friendly inns.

Next up is Monterey’s famous Cannery Row, which houses a spectacular indoor-outdoor aquarium, while nearby Pacific Beach has great beaches, and there are more in Carmel village, with its elegant little shops.

Here kids will love visiting the Cypress Inn for ‘Yappy Hour’ – Doris Day’s dog-friendly hotel whose owners love to socialise with their pooches over an afternoon cuppa.

Don’t miss: Visiting the vineyards, this area is home to some of California’s first-rate estates and many of the wineries have activities to keep children occupied while you indulge. 

The lowdown

Travel time: Flights from London to San Francisco take 10 hours and 55 minutes, it’s then a 2 hour drive to Monterey Peninsula. Flights from London to Los Angeles take 11 hours and 22 minutes, which is just over 5 hours from Monterey Peninsula. 

How to there: British Airways flies from London Heathrow to San Francisco; from £564 for an adult return, and London Heathrow to Los Angeles; from £564 return. Virgin Atlantic flies from London Heathrow to San Francisco; from £563 for an adult return, and London Heathrow to Lost Angeles; from £563.

Best time to go: Monterey Peninsula has fairly consistently good weather, with a yearly average of 20°C, July to September is peak season, while between December and March you’ll have a chance of seeing the grey whale migration.

Summer Lakes and Mountains Holiday: Europe

Make the most of your time together by taking your family to these beautiful mountain destinations.

Midi-Pyrenees, France

The Pyrenees snake along the border between France and Spain. Base yourself in the middle and, to really get back to nature (and save some money), go glamping. Campsites provide ready-made friends for your kids and peaceful surroundings in a natural playground of mountains, pine forests and lakes. This Basque region is rich in historical sights, too, from ancient caves to stone villages, castles, monasteries and the pilgrimmage site at Lourdes.

South Tyrol, Italy

Until 1918, the South Tyrol was part of Austria, and its people are proud of their unique identity and even have their own language, Ladin, although few of them still speak it. The area has gained a reputation for its cuisine, with more Michelin-starred restaurants than you can shake a wooden spoon at. So foodie families can fill up, after working up an appetite in the Dolomite mountains.
