When it’s time to start planning your family vacation, it’s not always easy picking a place that you know everyone is going to enjoy. But with a little luck (and some Internet research!), you can find the ideal vacation for you and your family.
If yours is like most families, not everyone can agree on a single place that would make them all happy. Mom might be fantasizing about spa vacations while dad is determined to take everyone camping in the woods. Meanwhile, the kids are all trying to figure out how to convince them to go to Disney (again).
You can find plenty of vacation spots that will allow each of you to relax and play in a place that you can all agree on. The key is to find somewhere that gives you all something to look forward to during the trip.
Spa Camping
It is possible for mom and dad to both get exactly what they want when you choose a campground that also offers spa amenities. These places also offer plenty of activities to keep everyone outside, active, and entertained during your trip.
On the west coast you will find plenty of camp grounds in British Columbia close to hot springs. If you want to stick to the east coast, you can book a stay at the Hot Springs Resort and Spa in North Carolina. Guests can choose from a variety of lodging options, from tent camping along the river to plush suites with private mineral bath hot tubs.
The Hot Springs Resort is famous for its natural hot springs and spa. You can take everyone for hikes along the Appalachian Trail, go whitewater rafting, horseback riding or fishing during the day. In the evening, mom and dad can go off to soak in the hot mineral baths together and then enjoy a massage. There are plenty of spa amenities to keep mom happy as well.
Spa Beach Resorts
A lot of spa beach resorts are family-friendly, especially those that are a part of the Club Med resort family. They offer so many different destinations for you to choose from, such as the Bahamas, the coast of Mexico, or the Maldives.
These resorts offer a lot of activities for kids and teens as well as parents. You can spend the day getting pampered while the children go to the Kids’ Club. Play a round of golf or go for a dive out in the ocean.
A vacation with your family at one of the many locations where you can find a Club Med will be something you can all enjoy and will definitely create lasting memories for everyone.
When you plan it just right, you and your family don’t have to settle for the same old vacation you usually take every year. Everyone can get something they will enjoy during your trip.
