Luxury Tropical Family Tours made for you

By the sands of Diani Beach on Kenya’s southern coast, Alfajiri is an exclusive retreat of three completely unique villas which are fabulous for honeymoons, romantic breaks or family adventures. Each spacious, private villa includes its own butler and offers unrivalled exclusivity, impressive private swimming pools and stunning sea and beach views. Cliff and Garden Villas can accommodate up to 10 guests in four bedrooms, while Beach Villa has two double rooms and one twin. Walk for miles in either direction along the stunning beach of Diani watching the local fisherman bring in their daily catches, get active with exciting water sports, take boat trips to secluded and deserted private sand banks, kite surf, golf or indulge in a massage. For families, a driver on demand for any local trips and nanny service included. There is no menu as each meal is incredibly catered around your likes, needs and desires. Due to the coastal location for fish eaters this can be paradise with lots of fish, crab, prawns and lobster.

Set on and around the lush Dhigufinolhu Island – just a 35-minute speedboat ride from Malé International Airport – the Anantara Dhigu Maldives Resort sits surrounded by a limpid lagoon that’s home to flitting rays and baby reef sharks. 110 spacious villas sit either over the water or just a few steps back from the beach, positioned for picture-perfect sunrises or sunsets. Many enjoy their own private plunge pools and all are modern, tranquil spaces with subtle Maldivian stylistic cues. The resort offers everything the archipelago is famous for and more. Take a plunge in the lagoon or kayak out to Guli Fushi Island for snorkelling. There’s a PADI 5-star Dive Centre offering course and excursions out to the best nearby dive sites and a Water Sports Centre for windsurfing, water-skiing, surfing, kite-surfing, parasailing and more. Fishing, sailing and island-hopping yacht trips are a firm favourite and kids are well looked after at the excellent children’s club. Of course you can choose to be a little less active, perhaps at the sumptuous spa, on the beach or by the pool. There’s also bespoke yoga and a wellness practitioner. Guests are similarly spoiled for choice when it comes to dining, with nine restaurants and bars serving up seafood and meat grills, fine Italian cuisine, varying themed buffet dinners, and lighter meals poolside for lunch. Further dining options can be enjoyed at the Dhigu’s sister island within the lagoon.

Andaz Papagayo is a beautifully located boutique resort overlooking where Gulf of Papagayo meets the sapphire blue waters of Culebra Bay. 153 modern rooms and suites with private plunge pools, sit cascading down a verdant hillside between two secluded beaches. Settle into your room and enjoy the views of the ocean and forest. Woven textiles, solid wood furnishings and carved artefacts give the rooms a charming Costa Rican aesthetic.

Take a dip in the outdoor pools, get in a workout at the gym, unwind at the spa, or head down to the nearby beaches.
