Instantly recognizable in photos for its towering pair of dormant volcanic plugs — Gros Piton and Petit Piton — the lush island of St. Lucia is an ideal Caribbean family getaway, especially now that temperatures are dipping in so many parts of the United States. At Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort, families are invited to warm up beside the sea on a 100-acre property once an 18th-century sugar plantation.

Property pastimes include tennis; beach volleyball; and a wide assortment of water sports such as sailing, kayaking and snorkeling. There’s even the option of a kid-centered fishing charter or boat tour along the island’s coast. Afterwards, share tales over a beachside barbeque or Creole Night-themed dinner.
Adults can find their own ways to pass the time (spa treatments, anyone?) while kids enjoy the V Team Kids Club. From scavenger hunts and beach clean-ups, coral restoration projects to arts and crafts sessions, kids can learn and have fun in the company of their peers.

Best of Both Worlds
Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.

Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center is often overlooked by family travelers as it doesn’t actually encompass a museum building. Instead, the organization appears through community efforts and exhibitions at other museums.
