Sometimes it may be hard for family travelers to all agree on a destination that piques every member’s interests. According to AMEX’s 2025 Global Travel Trends Report, 68 percent of millennials and Gen Z parents surveyed are picking family trip destinations based on where kids want to go, and 81 percent of travelers prefer destinations that are family-centric with activities for all ages. With more families looking for family-friendly destinations, we’ve listed three resorts offering fun for the whole family.

Located conveniently near Disney World and Universal Studios, the new Conrad Orlando, Orlando’s only beachfront experience, sets a new standard for luxury family vacations. Kids will love the Kids Club, which offers hands-on educational programs and immersive nature experiences. Kids will have fun while learning and developing a deeper understanding of the state’s unique biodiversity and heritage. Book a private splashpad cabana for fun in the sun and a playful water experience for kids. The cabana also comes with a recreation attendant to cater to any needs.

Located on the beautiful May River in Bluffton, South Carolina, Montage Palmetto Bluff offers plenty of fun for the whole family. Young travelers will have opportunities to explore through scavenger hunts, bike rides, nature hikes and more. Teen travelers can head to the spa for teen-inspired manicures, pedicures and facials. Kids ages 5–12 can tap into their creative side with crafts and outdoor games at the resort’s Paintbox program. The resort also offers Children’s Night Out, which features dinner, movies and games. End the night as a family around the campfire for s’mores.
Destin Fort-Walton Beach has endless amounts of activities waiting for family travelers to check out both on land and in water. At Henderson Beach State Park, travelers can spend the day biking, hiking and exploring the open shoreline. Then, at night, camp under the stars at one of its many campsites. For the fishing enthusiasts in the family, book a nearshore fishing charter like Scallywag Charters and go on an adventure with local Captain Nick Kirby. Captain Kirby can help kids fish and learn about local wildlife and ways to help preserve the ecosystem. While in the destination, stay at Henderson Beach Resort, featuring a variety of rooms, suites and condo units perfect for family travel. The resort also offers plenty of activities to keep the family engaged, such as bicycles, paddleboards, kayaks and more. Younger travelers also enjoy special programming at Poppy’s Kids Club.

Apr 17, 2025Experience the Night Sky Like Never Before in Oregon’s Outback
I’ve looked up at the night sky almost every night of my life and have always been fascinated by the way the experience changes from day to day and place to place. But on recent family travel to Oregon, I got to experience it like never before in the Oregon Outback. I was staying at the lovely Brasada Ranch in Powell Butte (not far from Bend) and, as the day came to a close, my group boarded a van with Wanderlust Tours and began the journey into a region of the Oregon desert known as the Oregon Outback.
