8 Exclusive Destinations for Luxury Multigenerational Family Travel — and the Best 5-Star Hotels to Stay At
A family trip is always more than just a vacation. Different interests, rhythms and expectations require a special approach. And sometimes it is so difficult to choose a place that is perfect for you, your parents and children at the same time! After all, when every detail is considered, the results are moments you want to cherish forever. The key to success is to choose a place where everyone will feel comfortable: those who are looking for quiet and reset, and those who are eager for impressions and discoveries.
We have selected 8 destinations where family vacations take on a special depth – with thoughtful service, atmosphere and attention to detail, where each generation will be as comfortable as possible.
1. Western USA
Mountains, meadows, evening campfires and fresh air – it’s easy to find common ground for all kinds of family members.

2. British Columbia, Canada
The coast where the forest meets the ocean is one of the best places for an outdoor vacation. At Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge 5*, guests live in safari tents among the rocks and forests, take outdoor showers, take helicopter tours and participate in activities like archery and canyoning. All of this is in a secluded part of the coast, accessible only by water or air. At Whistler Ski Resort, the Four Seasons 5* offers family residences of up to 345 m² with full kitchens, laundry facilities, balconies and fireplaces. Skiing, snowmobiling and ice tubing in winter, and ziplining, mountain biking and gastronomic tours in summer.

5. London, UK
A metropolis that knows how to be cozy. There’s something for everyone: world-class museums, West End theaters, gastropubs, Thames walks and even Harry Potter-style cruises. One Aldwych Hotel, located in the heart of Covent Garden, offers family suites, mini robes, children’s quests and a signature afternoon tea in the style of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. All just steps away from the capital’s top attractions.
6. Mexico’s Pacific Coast
This is a place where a vacation requires no compromise: villas with panoramic pools, dense jungle, white-sand beaches and authentic Mexican cuisine.

And Punta Mita is a private peninsula with dozens of accommodation options, from two-bedroom residences to luxurious staffed mansions where you can learn eFoil surfing, host pool parties or participate in a sea turtle release.
7. Northern Italy
From lakeside retreats to summer paradise in the Alps, Italy reveals itself most vividly when explored with the whole family.
