Holiday inspo for 18 month old

[MrsW32]

I’m looking to plan a holiday in Apr/May 2026 when my DS with be around 17/18 months old. We’ve looking around Europe - ideally a 2-3 hour flight and a hotel that caters for families with an area or club that will suitable for an 18 month old. Also we would like to do an all inclusive as we just don’t want the hassle of thinking about cooking no and finding places to eat out. Also a hotel room with a separate living and sleep space as we would like to stay up later when he goes to bed.

I’ve visited my local TUI and they recommend their TUI Blue range and we like the look of the Menorca one. But just wondering whether anyone could recommend else where. Our budget is around £2k (a little over is fine) for 2 adults and 18-ish month old.

thanks mums of mumsnet in advance 😅

Royal son Bou in Menorca is probably the most toddler-friendly hotel I can think of. Bonus that it’s a short transfer.

We are currently in Ibiza in the Grand Palladium select palace, our baby is 5 months but our friends are with us and they have an 18 month old and really rate it for their little one.
Not sure about separate living sleep space, there are bigger rooms available but you may need to upgrade.
we booked with Tui paid 2096 for 9 nights, bus stop right outside the hotel so went into Ibiza town for a mooch too. X

I saw that one in my searches as well. Might look again at it. That’s good to know short transfer as the TUI blue one is over an hour transfer 😬

Oooo I didn’t see that one and my husband did say he liked to go to Ibiza. Thank you! 😊

@MrsW32 meant to say transfer is ten mins right next to airport really, you can hear planes taking off but it’s never disturbed us as they aren’t at night and also the rooms have thick glazing. Our baby is quite sensitive to noise and has been fine, she has slept better here than at home 🙄😂 x

Oh yeah I realised it was near the airport. Saying that do you get disturbed by the nightlife - I suppose it’s out of season at the moment. It’s only because I went to Playa en Bossa in my pre-mum days to see Calvin Harris in Ushuaia and it was crazy late at night 😅

@MrsW32 nothing open here currently not sure when everything starts up tho, we leave on Tuesday 15th, I think Ushuaia starts April 26th so perhaps the same next year. However there is a Facebook group I used to ask questions on this place so maybe worth checking on that first.
