Family travelers are redefining multigenerational travel trends by booking and planning mega-trips to form a deeper connection with family and the destination. In fact, KAYAK recently reported two-thirds of all searches on its platform for this year are international flights.
Luxury villa provider Oliver’s Travels also reports a 141 percent increase in bookings for destinations beyond traditional hot spots. The company recently expanded its portfolio to include properties within high-demand destinations like Sri Lanka, Thailand and Lapland.
For families looking to plan their dream vacation, Oliver’s Travels rounded up some top multigenerational mega-trip destinations:
Phuket, Thailand
Stay at Infinity Blue Phuket, a four-bedroom villa set on a beautiful beach on a trip to Phuket, Thailand. The property features a koi pond garden, giant swimming pool and luxury accommodations. The villa provides a convenient home base for families looking to visit a nearby elephant sanctuary, sacred temples and more.
Cape Town, South Africa
Book a stay at Villa Bakoven, a family-friendly retreat in the heart of Cape Town’s Camps Bay. The whole family will love the outdoor spaces and easy access to the nearby beach. While in Cape Town, don’t forget to book a one-day safari, where you can spot wildlife in their natural habitat.
Piedmont, Italy
After a day full of exploring the lesser-known region of Piedmont, families can relax at Villa Urban, a beautiful farmhouse set among rolling fields, peach trees and vineyards. Soak up views from the private pool, read under the shaded pergola or find a quiet spot in the landscaped gardens.
Lapland, Finland
Step into the fairytale-like land of Lapland, Finland, with snow-capped mountains, stunning forests and frozen lakes. Families might even get lucky enough to see the Northern Lights dance in the skies. The three-bedroom Villa Katri, Ruka is the perfect home-away-from-home, offering a blend of seclusion and accessibility.
Treasure Island, Greece
Take family travel to the next level with a stay on your own private island. Treasure Island is a retreat for all ages, with sandy beaches, privacy, and plenty of entertainment and activities for all. Spend days exploring hidden coves, snorkeling in the crystal waters or fishing with a local fisherman to catch dinner for the night.
Agafay Desert, Morocco
Agafay Desert provides a one-of-a-kind adventure for all ages. Indulge in local culture and then set out in the calm desert for camel rides and visits to traditional Berber houses. While there, stay in Villa Zaria, Marrakech, offering stunning gardens, a large heated pool and rooftop terrace.
