Vedic Village Resorts – Kerala, India
Do your little yogis love to bend themselves into pretzels? Take them to incredible India, the birthplace of yoga, where they can perfect their downward dog. If it’s your first time to the subcontinent, laid-back Kerala is a good place to start. Vedic Village Resorts boasts a beautiful garden with ample greenery to calm the nerves. While you’re there, try out the free yoga sessions or take the kids on a Backwater cruise to catch a glimpse of Kerala’s back canals. Closer to nightfall, navigate around the old marketplaces and historical landmarks on foot to experience what Kerala really has to offer. Don’t leave without indulging in an Ayurvedic massage, a specialty of the region.

Grand Mega Resort & Spa – Bali, Indonesia
The beautiful southern coast of Bali is a great place to stretch out the legs after a decadent holiday period. If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush, hop on the complimentary beach shuttle and take the little rascals for a day of surf and sand at Kuta Beach, or raft past colourful Hindu temples on the Telaga Waters. After soaking up all that vitamin D, make yourself at home by treating the family to a full-service spa back at the hotel.

Holiday Villa Beach Resort & Spa – Langkawi, Malaysia
Unwind on the private beach at the Holiday Villa Beach Resort & Spa or add some excitement by taking the munchkins out jetskiing or fishing for a day. If you’re looking to explore the island as a family, join an island tour or mangrove cruise. The resort comes equipped with a fitness centre and tennis court to help you and your little ones stay in shape without having to travel beyond the resort itself. After a long day exploring the coast, take the family for a relaxing body massage to help release any remaining post-activity kinks.

Seascape Beach Resort – Koh Samui, Thailand
This beautiful resort is right on the best stretch of Chaweng Beach and just steps away from an array of water sports, the Phetch Buncha, and Thai Boxing Stadium. If your kids are social butterflies, they are likely to find other children their age on the beach to play with while you recline on a sunbed sipping on a cocktail. Go island hopping or take a longboat trip as a family to Ko Taen and Ko Matsum for a day out snorkelling. On land, check out Chaweng Walking Street to experience the colours, sounds and scents of Koh Samui. The market is especially great for scoring deals on clothes, bags and of course, cocktails.
