4 of the best destinations for luxury multigenerational holidays

The first step to choosing a destination for a multigen group is to identify each family member’s needs, especially when it comes to each person’s activity level, according to British luxury travel agency Red Savannah.

“Younger children will need lots of space to run and play, perhaps with a playground area close to the main house,” the agency says. “A tennis court will also keep youngsters, and older family members happy for a few hours, as well as a pool.”

Just as important as planning activities is to plan areas where family members can retreat for a sense of privacy and calm. Look for accommodation that offers private terraces or bedroom balconies, along with a library or sunroom that can act as a quiet zone.

Choosing a location on the outskirts of a town is a good idea too: larger families will have plenty of space, while maintaining access to shops and restaurants. Here are a few ideas for where to book a multigenerational holiday.
