Luxury anniversary holiday with baby and young child?

8 replies

Flutterby11 · 17/03/2017 06:57

Hi, we have our 10yr wedding anniversary this summer and wanted to have a luxury holiday somewhere that is zika/dengue/malaria free (or at least minimal risk of these illnesses) as we will have an baby under one and also a 7yr old with us. We are not beach people and get bored easily but wanted somewhere hot where we can relax but still get out and about with historical/sightseeing or nature based activities. Any advice please??

Singapore combined with Bali
Borneo
Hoi An in Vietnam - combine with Hanoi - not the best weather in summer months, but have been in July and just had rain on one day
Java
A lot of SE Asia is wet in the summer (above options are dry, Singapore is pretty much the same all year round)
You don't need anti-malarial tablets for any of the above - although you may need to check re Borneo. I don't think anywhere in SE Asia is dengue free - be sensible, use a spray. I have travelled and lived in SE Asia for nearly 10 years and never had a problem.

South Africa, capetown would be a good Base and you could do some of the garden route

I would look to book a really expensive hotel/apartment with facilities in Europe. get a cheaper air fare than long haul and save what you spend on somewhere more luxurious. this way you avoid a stressful long flight with your little ones and really what do kids want other than beach a pool and some time with you.

Italian lakes?....Lake Como beautiful , luxurious hotels....great places to visit....not far to travel and child friendly
Or S of France...Grasse , Provence....

....or if you want long haul, what about Mauritius?

Mauritius is great for kids but op didn't want a beach holiday. There are a lot if other things to do but it is largely beach.
