Costa Rica is a luxury family destination, but goes a step further with a focus on wildlife and adventure at Nayara Resort, Spa & Gardens.

Head to the Cultural Center, or Casa de Cultura, and watch local students practice the art of capoeira, a traditional Bahia sport, or join in. Capoeira blends martial arts, acrobatics and dance — add in some natural athleticism, and your kids may find their new favorite sport.
Available on select Ponant cruises from Rome to Athens, the Treasures of the Mediterranean World tour boasts the best of all things Greek and Italian mythology. Learn about the Roman and Greek gods and goddesses and see where the original Olympics competition took place — perfect for your budding history buffs, mythology fans and culture seekers.
