Make this festive season one that the whole family will remember when you create a tailor made Christmas family holiday with help from the Luxury Travel Specialists at Elegant Resorts. Whether you want to wake up surrounded by white snow, build the anticipation by perusing through European Christmas Markets, soaking up warm sunshine or by gathering everyone together in a spectacular private villa, Elegant Resorts can create a tailor made Christmas family getaway designed specifically around your hopes and aspirations.
For children and adults alike, Finnish Lapland offers a truly magical setting for Christmas family breaks. Snow covered forests, reindeer sleigh rides and exhilarating snowmobile adventures provide plenty of opportunities to experience the magic of the season, while the chance to meet Father Christmas makes Lapland particularly special for younger children. After days spent exploring the Arctic wilderness, you can then return to a warm and welcoming hotel and enjoy the festive atmosphere together with all your loved ones. Those searching for Christmas getaways for families with little ones who are still caught up with the magic of the season, Lapland really has to be near the very top of your list of destinations.
However, you don’t always have to travel overseas to enjoy memorable family breaks at Christmas. London provides an exciting option for a festive city break, with luxury hotels offering elegant accommodation near the city centre and special seasonal experiences. Here you can spend time visiting famous landmarks, exploring festive Christmas Markets and shopping for presents before returning to your hotel for a festive meal. A Christmas hotel break can also be combined with theatre visits, sightseeing and family-friendly attractions, creating a memorable city adventure without having to face long travel times and airport shenanigans.
For families wanting to spend more time together during the festive period, a private luxury property can provide the perfect base around which to create a tailor made Christmas family break. New Zealand is an exceptional choice for family breaks over Christmas and into the New Year, offering spectacular scenery, outdoor adventures and spacious private estates such as Camp Estate on New Zealand’s South Island where everyone can stay together and celebrate the festive season together. From here you can head out and explore mountains, lakes and coastlines by day before gathering around the table for Christmas dinner or relaxing together in the comfort of your own private retreat. A tailor made New Zealand holiday itinerary can be arranged by our well travelled experts who have first hand experience of the country and will be able to use this to advise on the best activities to suit the requirements of your party.
Alternatively, you could trade winter weather for sunshine with a family Christmas getaway to Barbados. Beautiful beaches, warm Caribbean waters and luxury family-friendly resorts create an idyllic environment for enjoying Christmas beside the sea. Spend your days swimming, trying watersports and exploring the island before returning to your resort for festive celebrations and exceptional dining. A Caribbean Christmas provides an opportunity to enjoy treasured family time in a completely different setting.
If you would rather travel before the big day, Vienna provides an enchanting option. The Austrian capital is renowned for its atmospheric Christmas markets, where families can browse colourful stalls, enjoy seasonal treats and seek out unique Christmas gifts for loved ones. Here you can combine Christmas market visits with sightseeing, Michelin star dining and a stay in one of the city's most luxurious hotels for a memorable pre-Christmas break that the whole family will enjoy.
