The future of family travel: hotel activities winning over the next generation

“If the kids are happy, we’re happy” - increasingly families are choosing to follow their children’s direction and interests when choosing where to go on holiday. Thanks to social media, children are growing up faster, and getting their own inspiration of where they want to go and what they want to do.

As a result, we’re seeing a boom in hotels’ in-house entertainment for kids - from sports academies, to adventures in nature. Here, we highlight some hotels setting themselves apart as firm families favorites in the future:

Children's academies at Falkensteiner

Falkensteiner Science Academy: Blend education with excitement, guided by our expert instructors

Falkensteiner Academies offer children the opportunity to explore their passions. Designed to blend learning with enjoyment, the academies cater to all tastes: from cheerleading to cooking to climbing. Parents can guarantee that their children will benefit from engaging activities led by caring professionals - reflected in their five star reviews.

💟 Bonus points: Falkensteiner academies are bookable entirely online - on their website you can see full dates with availability and checkout - all at the touch of a button. Plus it's easy to browse and book spa, transfers, or adult activities at the same time!

The Grove’s Adventures for Little Ones

The Grove Mini Landies: Let your little explorers roam free in Asher’s Woodland in their very own mini Land Rover replica

The Grove is putting kids in the driving seat - literally. Mini “landies” and off-road driving experiences give children and teens alike experiences behind the wheel amongst beautiful woodland. We love that all ages have the opportunity to enjoy four wheeled adventures - from the mini landies, to off-road experiences for teens… and there’s even an adults option as well!

💟 Bonus points: The Grove truly makes the most of local partnerships: their kids rugby camp is run by Saracens and their nature trails are created by The Wildlife Trust.

Zafiro’s children’s club and mascot Yzzy

Meet Yzzy: a mascot full of fun at all Zafiro Hotels

Zafiro hotels go a step further in their kids clubs. The Australian koala bear Yzzy serves as their famous mascot, and he has truly thought of everything! There’s not only a vast range of activities in the resort (everything from a foam party to your very own olympic games!) but they also provide dedicated children’s areas and downloadable games for to be played wherever you want.

💟 Bonus points: A specially designed treasure map makes even finding the activities a fun adventure for kids!

Athens for all ages at One&Only

One&Only Greek Arts and Crafts: Mini artisans create a keepsake from Athens

The KidsOnly club at One&Only Aesthesis offers captivating experiences inspired by the local area of Athens. Children between the ages of 4 and 11 get the opportunity to play archaeologist for the day, learn traditional weaving skills, or visit the Insectarium learn about the local flora and fauna.

Family Experiences at Rocco Forte

Rocco Forte Villa Igiea: On Safari In Palermo

Families are encouraged to get out an exploring together at the Villa Igiea by Rocco Forte. Whether it's the urban safari designed to "capture" as many animals as possible, or the street food challenge which rewards those daring to try the most unusual (yet delicious) delicacies... there's a spirit of competition and adventure that helps connect with the local area in a whole new way.

💟 Bonus points: Activities are designed to bring the family together, and are as entertaining for adults as they for kids.

Martinhal Raposinhos

Martinhal Resorts: Kids clubs and play spaces

Martinal Hotel maintains a strong nature theme with their children’s clubs for all ages - from 2 to 3 years “Raposinhos” (“little foxes”), through to the Explorers Nature Club up to age 13. However, even more enticing is that every element of the hotel is designed with a thoughtful touch for parents: playground equipment is typically paired with cafes, bars, or restaurants so kids are entertained within watching distance whilst adults enjoy a relaxing meal.

💟 Bonus points: Martinhal is proving so successful with kids that they've opened a school which already has more than 630 students!

What have we missed?

At Turneo, we love empowering hotels to promote, sell and manage in-house experiences. We know that hotels often hold back from setting up their own activities because of the operational headache: finding ways to take bookings, manage cancellations, track capacity, and so on. That’s why we offer simple, intuitive software that's easy to set up, and automates all the heavy-lifting. From a centralized hub hotels see and manage bookings in real-time, benefit from live pricing and availability, and can even monitor guest feedback and reviews.
