We’re back again with more of our highly regarded resort recommendations, handpicked with you and your family in mind. Our recommendations all come with expansive accommodations, gorgeous pools, beautiful beaches, and kids’ clubs to keep the little ones entertained throughout the stay.


The Landings Resort and Spa, Saint Lucia

Best for: Beachfront villa exhilaration and bliss

Make 2023 a year like no other for you and your family by flying out to the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia and staying at The Landings Resort & Spa. Take your pick from spacious one to three-bedroom villa suites complete with water views. You can choose to have a private plunge pool and butler service, and the accommodation can be fully stocked with your favourite snacks by utilizing the concierge provisioning services. Make the most of the four swimming pools, two hot tubs, and a dedicated kid’s splash pool, especially with the complimentary aqua aerobics on offer.

Picture this: you’re taking a break from peering down at the array of underwater life when snorkelling and you take a rest by reclining in a water hammock, you watch your kids glide past on their paddleboard or glass-bottom kayak. After lunch, you lounge on the beach, your every whim met by the staff who are waiting on hand. Meanwhile, your children have joined the kids club to take a picnic trip to Pigeon Island, bringing their kites along to make the most of the ocean breeze. Teens have a select programme too complete with tie dying, beach Olympics and a silent disco. In the evening, you come together again to enjoy a movie night on the beach, popcorn and cotton candy included, as you gaze up at the night’s sky to notice there are more stars in the sky than you’ve ever seen before.
