Along the way, you'll enjoy fresh and flavourful, yet simple, dishes that even the kids will enjoy, along with locals who take a genuine interest in the kids' happiness.

Florida

USA

You'll love it if you're into
Theme parks, amusement parks, water parks and national parks.
Florida is like the world's biggest playground. There are huge entertainment parks, each one big enough to spend a couple days exploring. You'll find not only the one with a mouse as its mascot, but movie-themed parks, parks filled with roller coasters, and huge sea-themed parks. But kids will also love the Kennedy Space Center and Everglades National Park where they can look for 'gators.

Sweden

You'll love it if you're into
Fresh air, pristine nature and back-to-basics exploring.
Children raised in Sweden are generally happy and healthy - after all, they have nature to roam around in right in their backyards. Show your family the beauty of Lappland in the winter with its northern lights and dogsled rides. Explore the stunning islands and archipelagos of Gothenburg and Bohuslän by kayak. Explore the natural wonder of Gotland's coastline - and while there take a stroll through the town of our favourite Swedish pig-tailed redhead.

South Africa

You'll love it if you're into
Safaris, a varied topography and minimal jet lag.
Where else in the world can the family experience grasslands, wetlands, deserts, beaches and mountains in one country? South Africa dazzles the young and old with its landscapes and wildlife, including the Big 5 (the lion, black rhino, buffalo, leopard and elephant). There's no better way to observe them than with a safari in one of their many national parks. And the time difference is minimal so the kids won't be fighting jet lag the whole trip.

Maldives

You'll love it if you're into
The sea, beautiful beaches, great seafood and accommodating resorts.
The Maldives is consideredy by many to be the dream destination, mostly for its sandy beaches and pristine waters. The kids can spend days happily digging in the sand and swimming in the sea. If that starts to get old, explore the sea further with a snorkel trip to see colorful fish and corals or even a boat ride to meet whale sharks. Are the kids scared of swimming? You can experience everything the sea has to offer with an mini-submarine ride, usually arranged by one of the Maldives' very kid-friendly resorts.

Brazil

You'll love it if you're into
Lush green jungles, waterfalls and swim holes, juicy tropical fruit and friendly locals.
For pint-sized jungle explorers, Brazil is the stuff dreams are made of. Experiencing the Amazon rainforest is undoubtedly on the family's bucket list. Hire a guide and stay in an eco-lodge, where you can take daily - and night - hikes from to catch glimpses of monkeys, colourful birds, frogs and more. Or discover the jungle from the water with a boat ride down its countless rivers to see river dolphins and pirhanas. Visit Almécegas waterfall in Chapada dos Medeiros National Park and take a dip in its cascade, or experience the king of them all, Iguazu Falls.

Mexico

You'll love it if you're into
Beautiful nature, a vibrant culture and delicious dishes.
In Mexico, there's a party every day for everyone - including kids. After all, where else does the typical Mexican breakfast look and taste like party food? The country makes learning about its history and culture exciting - there are imposing ancient Mayan temples to discover like Chichen Itza, Tulum, Uxmal and Calakmul, the last hidden deep inside a green jungle. The city of Mérida invites children into its plazas to see local art and hear musical performances. If you're short on time, visit Xcaret park near Cancun.

Malta

You'll love it if you're into
Exploring a safe country, snorkeling and diving and discovering its long and rich history.
Anyone in the family who's imagined themselves a knight in shining armour will want to visit this island nation nestled just south of Sicily. Malta's history is dominated by the Knights of St John, who ruled the land and successfully fought off many intruding empires. Their mark is still felt in the capital city of Valletta today. If classic films are more the family's style, spend a day at Popeye Village - the original film set of the 1979 film. Or introduce your kids to a lifetime of magic under the sea with junior diving courses for kids 10 years and up.
