Planning an interesting break with the brood this year? Here are a handful of ideas to get you started!
Muscat, Nizwa & More, OMAN
Appearing on many hot lists for travel in 2018 is Oman, an adventure playground on the Arabian peninsula that’s just waiting to be explored – and perfect for families with children of all ages. You can begin with a few days on the coast, taking in some snorkelling or even staying at a turtle conservation camp, before heading to the desert and the mountains for a bit more action and off-the-beaten-track fun with expert guides.
The team from luxury tour operator Scott Dunn has been creating tailor-made family holidays for over 30 years – the kind of holidays that form the basis for so many happy childhood memories, from learning to ski to splashing in the waves. The company’s Oman itineraries take in everything from exploring forts and markets in the ancient city of Nizwa, to climbing dunes and riding camels in the Wahiba Sands desert, and discovering the Al Hoota Caves in Oman’s “Grand Canyon”.
Riau Islands, INDONESIA
With 15 spacious overwater Sea Villas, a newly opened overwater spa, freshwater infinity pool, complimentary kids’ club, and a commitment to sustainable tourism, Telunas Private Island offers a genuine family-friendly respite from busy Singapore.
