Family travel can be overwhelming, both planning-wise and budget-wise. However, it doesn’t mean that you need to spend thousands of pounds or plan months ahead for a family holiday to push through.
In case you’ve been mulling on taking a trip somewhere, here are just some of the favourite and affordable destinations the whole family will surely enjoy:
“Spread across nearly 3,500 square miles and home to some 60 animal species and almost half of the world’s geysers, visitors could explore Yellowstone National Park for weeks and not see everything in the country’s first national park,” CNN wrote. The Yellowstone National Park has been chosen as the Top US Spot for Family Fun last March. “Parents seem to agree the park in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming is a don’t-miss spot in the United States,” CNN said.
The Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona landed fourth in the aforementioned list of CNN according to a survey by FamilyFun Magazine. Your flight to Arizona will arrive at one of the lovely desert cities like Phoenix or Tucson and from there you can visit the magnificent Grand Canyon above Flagstaff, one of the true wonders of the natural world. With magnificent sights and overwhelming aura, the canyon is truly awe-inspiring. However, its worldwide popularity does not affect its affordability. Arizona’s natural gem allows families to explore an amazing natural wonder at a very low price.
Included in Fox News’ 10 affordable last-minute summer vacations, South Carolina’s Myrtle Beach is a haven for families who are time-constrained but still want to take that short trip to take a plunge. “Myrtle Beach’s miles of sand, wildly popular boardwalk, charter fishing expeditions, and Ripley’s Aquarium (where you can get nose-to-nose with sharks) will keep you busy while the sun shines, and its world-class eateries roll out an irresistible southern-style welcome with local micro-brews, seafood buffets, and oceanfront tables,” Fox News said.

Even though the school summer holidays are in full swing, we are still receiving plenty of enquiries for late deals for the latter part of August as families make last-minute decisions to escape the poor British summer weather.
With the holiday providers feeling the squeeze this year it is no surprise that prices have risen dramatically – and are continuing to do so by the day, so if you find a family holiday you like through our Family Holiday Finder Service we suggest you book immediately – prices are rising by hundreds of pounds even overnight!
There are still a few deals to be had although hugely popular family resorts like the Martinhal in the Algarve and any of the Sani resorts in Halkidiki were sold out months ago. Sovereign Luxury Holidays has some space left for August at the following:
As summer nears, many people await for their long awaited summer vacations. Some will take their families on these vacations as a reward for many months of hard work and dedication, which all of them have done throughout the year, whether at work or in school. One of the most popular destinations in the world is the great country of Spain. Many tourists flock to this amazing nation because of its different cultural ambiance and great people that reside there. There are varieties of activities that the whole family can do while they are on holiday in Spain.
One of the first activities everyone can do as soon as they get there is to check out their excellent dining alternatives. A few of the famous cuisines that you can try are the “tortilla Espanola,” “gazpacho,” “Spanish seafood rice,” “Spanish ham” and the “Spanish pork sausage.” You will be able to find these delicious dishes in most of the restaurants on your vacation.
If you are visiting Madrid, then you have to dine at the Restaurante La Favorita. This restaurant offers excellent service and is perfect if you are self-catering for the entire trip. You can also stop by Restaurante El Septimo, which will serve you some of its flawless desserts. Stop by the Restaurante Arzak located in San Sebastian, so that you can enjoy their exquisite dining cuisines as well. All of these great choices in restaurants will surely give you great service and delicious meals at affordable prices.
Aside from fine dining, the sights and sounds of this great country are also great features to explore when you are on holiday. You can begin by visiting the Cave of Altamira, which contains the Paleolithic Cave Art of Northern Spain. Next, you can visit the Old Town of Segovia and its Aqueduct while you enjoy the community of Castile and Leon. There, you will be able to appreciate some of this country’s amazing heritage and history.
You will also find many outdoor activities that you can enjoy. Spain is known for the great sport of bullfighting and is perfect for taking the entire family to see a classic bullfight. Make sure to take a walk along the beautiful beaches while you are visiting this magnificent land. You can go to La Concha Beach in San Sebastian, Playa de Las Catedrales in Galicia, Playa del Silencio located in Asturias and the Beaches of Sitges, which is situated in Catalonia near Barcelona.
In the end, Spain is definitely the place to holiday in for anyone that enjoys a little culture and adventure. You can save a lot of money if you decide to stay in a hotel that doesn’t offer catering. Self-catering can really add up on the bill of the hotel and the savings you will make can enable you to take your loved ones to many of the restaurants. Rest assured that you will have the time of your life on your long awaited holiday vacation.
Family holidays, as well as being an opportunity to spend quality time with your children, are an essential breathing space, and a break from the constant pressures of juggling family life with work commitments and deadlines.
However, children, far from wanting to relax and take in the view, are often at their most active and curious in a new environment, with the added attractions (and dangers) of a beach or pool on their doorstep. More vigilance is necessary from parents, as well as high energy levels, at a time when re-charging batteries, and enjoying a slower pace of life for a short spell, is high on their list.
A little help can go a long way. An extra pair of hands and eyes are all that is needed to transform a holiday into a proper break. Someone to help with the suncreaming, to keep an eye on the baby while you build sandcastles with your toddler, to help out at bathtime and bedtime, and someone familiar to babysit, so that you can have some evenings out with minimum stress.
Holiday Nannies are becoming an increasingly popular add-on to a family holiday. Moreover, instead of choosing yet another child-friendly resort or hotel, a villa holiday becomes a realistic possibility, with your own childcare on board.
My Travelling Nanny, run by mother and daughter team Linda and Michaela, can match you with a holiday nanny to suit your needs. They personally interview, vet and reference-check each nanny. Families also interview any potential candidates, and make the final decision as to their suitability.
The service is friendly, efficient, with a painless booking procedure. The holiday nanny travels with the family, thereby being able to form bonds with the children even before arrival at the holiday destination. And of course this makes for a much more stress-free journey, whether you are flying or driving.
My Travelling Nanny provides holiday nannies to suit every pocket, and there is a lot of flexibility so that families can decide how much childcare help they want, as well as whether they want a Standard Nanny or a Qualified/Experienced Nanny.
This new and innovative Agency has achieved success and commendations in business competitions for young entrepreneurs, and has numerous testimonials and repeat bookings which speak for themselves.
