Back To Nature
Children often take to nature like ducks to water. For some close encounters with the wild, head to this resort near Hanoi, Vietnam. Not only do kids get a special welcome kit to make their stay extra comfortable, children who visit also have access to a rabbit garden specially catered for younger kids. Don’t miss out on some family hiking fun, too, as the resort is set within the lush greenery of Mount Fansipan.
For mums and dads who enjoy the great outdoors, instil that love of adventure in your little ones with a trip to The Andaman in laidback Langkawi, Malaysia. Shrouded in the rainforest, you can expect unrivalled service at this Starwood-managed hotel for yourselves and your kids. The Young Explorer’s Club sets it apart from other resorts; with educational excursions that focus on nature, your kids will leave with an appreciation of the island’s rugged wooded landscape.
Beachside Bonanzas
If thumping family fun is your jam, bring your little rockers to Hard Rock Hotel Bali, located on the ever-entertaining Kuta Beach. Its Lil’ Rock Kids Club offers treasure hunts, lessons in local musical traditions and more. Plus, there are food options aplenty to satiate your kids’ appetites long after playtime is over. Yum!
Kids rule at Club Med Bintan, where they can take their pick of a myriad activities to choose from to keep them distracted for days, if not weeks. There are circus workshops for children to discover the joys of performance art, the Petit Chef Program to keep them busy in the kitchen, and there’s even a Teen Spa to introduce older kids to the world of wellness.
Fun In The City
Bustling Bangkok may seem like the last place to take a child, but the Anantara Riverside Bangkok Resort, on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, is a cool oasis for families. Its kids’ club will keep children entertained for hours on end, and babysitting services are also available.
If you and your little ones live for LEGO, head for LEGOLAND Malaysia just across the causeway in Johor Bahru. Fully LEGO-themed bedrooms will provide endless delight, while the theme park offers more than 70 hands-on rides, slides, and shows for children of all ages. Kids will also love the new LEGO Ninjagothemed rooms, which open this June.
