Inspirations for 2025, reasonable budget, I hope

[Cantthinkofadifferentname]

We will shortly have some money returned and would like to splurge on holiday(s) next year whilst kids will still come with us. Kids will be 14 and almost 17.

Either two weeks in the summer holidays or possibly a week at Easter/Whitsun and a week in Summer.

Budget £15k but could get closer to £20k

None of us are beach holiday fans so this can't be a focus.

Looking for inspiration

I would do Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand with kids that age. Mix of cities, rainforests, beaches, seas etc

I would do Costa Rica for two weeks.

Are there any places that you know your kids would love to go OP? Have you asked them? If not, that might be a good place to start - although they may just look at you blankly and say 'I dunno', which my kids usually do! But at least you've asked.

IME teens like city breaks - we've been doing them with our kids since they were little and they are always good.

As for bigger trips:
California
Costa Rica
Mexico
Thailand
Japan
South Africa
Singapore + Malaysia
Borneo
