Where the hell should we go?

This will only be our second time going abroad as a family and we just don’t know where to go! Last year we went to halkidiki in Greece, in some ways it suited us as it was quiet and low key but the kids got a bit bored in the end.

Requirements are-
•walking distance to a nice sandy beach or a lake that’s suitable for children.
•somewhere quiet, don’t want loads of bars, night clubs, kids clubs etc. Not a brits abroad type thing.
•not so quiet that there’s literally nothing to do! Kids would love a water park, aquarium or something similar near would be a bonus.
•ASD daughter won’t manage a flight of more that 3.5-4hrs
Any recommendations of lovely chilled out family holidays pretty much anywhere in Europe? What’s been your be family trip?

Costa de los Pinos, east coast of Mallorca. I strongly recommend this hotel, it has a pool and a private beach. (I don't own shares in it!)

It's a very quiet area, but there is a nice pizza restaurant just across the street, and a great "chiringuito" (casual beach café with lovely lunchtime food) nearby. If you hire a car then of course you can go anywhere you wish.

I screwed up the link there, sorry, the name of the hotel I recommended on the east coast of Mallorca (Costa de los Pinos) is:

Hipotels Eurotel Punta Rotja Hotel & Spa
Av. del Pinar, s/n, 07559 Costa dels Pins, Illes Balears, España

Can't recommend Croatia enough. It's like a cheap Italy. 2.5 hr flight.
