We absolutely loved staying in SOWAKA, a luxury ryokan style hotel located in historic Kyoto. The traditional building dates back 110 years and was formerly a working restaurant. The classic property is located at the heart of Gion surrounded by cultural sites and picturesque streets.  You’ll find serene shrines, cute boutiques, delicious little eateries, and artisanal markets all on your front step. Our sleek and spacious guestroom was perfect for a family of four.  We made full use of the comfortable lounge and decadent bath and our children enjoyed having sliding screen doors which separated their sleeping area.  Gion Loka, the in house restaurant, serves meticulously presented and delicious Japanese and Western breakfasts each morning and the Kaiseki fine dining experience was one of our favorite dinners in Kyoto.  The luxury hotel values Japanese tradition and etiquette while adding modern western comforts to the suites ensuring a five star stay. A perfect choice for a luxury stay in Kyoto.

Our first time in Sapporo over the summer and we still loved all the vibes.  We tayed at the modern SAPPORO STREAM HOTEL and couldn’t believe those incredible views from our suite and the panoramic roof terrace. The Q Suite is ideal for families with a large separate bedroom, dining area, and cozy lounge.  Located within a shopping center the hotel offers optimal location, parking facilities, and accommodating service.  We were within easy walking distance to all our favourite shops and eats and of course the buzzing nights. Breakfast was one of our favourites during our entire trip and with Executive Lounge access we had refreshments and Spa access throughout our stay. I highly recommend Sapporo for those that want to experience a less touristy Japanese city. The produce and food is unbeatable and they honestly are the most welcoming locals despite language barriers.

The Kahala, located just 30 minutes outside of Tokyo in Yokohama, is a fun filled family destination.  We loved the grand Hawaiian themed hotel complete with spacious and modern suites, luxurious spa and swimming pool, and impeccable service. We were within short walking distance to all of Yokohama’s iconic sights including the amusement park, Cup Noodle Museum, and beautiful harbour.  We highly recommend the traditional course dinner at Hanagoyomi and the decadent afternoon tea service.  A perfect choice for visiting the buzzing family friendly town.

Hotel Chinzanso Tokyo is the perfect tranquil sanctuary at the heart of buzzing Tokyo. We felt a clear sense of calm arriving at the traditional Japanese gardens, settling into our grand two bedroom suite, and enjoying the sprawling property. The Japanese breakfast and kaiseki dinner were an ideal welcome back to Tokyo, and the incredible pool and spa facilities were an enticing retreat after a day of shopping and exploring. The highlight was their decadent Executive Lounge and stunning “The Tokyo Sea of Clouds.” A luxurious and traditional property for your next trip to Tokyo.

Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa Maldives never fails to give our family the most memorable stays. Picturesque beach days on the white sand beach, freediving with mantas and whale sharks, spotting turtles on the house reef, vibrant orange sunsets alongside our favourite cocktails, and dining under a blanket of blinking stars. We witnessed one of the brightest full moons during our stay and found ourselves being circled by stingrays bathed in the energetic moonlight. Absolute magic. The resort boasts amazing family villas both overwater and on the beach perfect for those travelling with children. We loved the variety of dining destinations ranging from delicious Italian fare at an unbeatable overwater venue and authentic Thai fare.  The all inclusive offers a huge selection of beverages, afternoon tea, and access to all the dining spots. An amazing option for families and groups looking to spend time in paradise.

Reethi Beach is a relaxed natural island located at the heart of the Baa Atoll.   The resort boasts affordable villas, friendly service, and idyllic surroundings perfect for a family getaway.  We loved the pristine white sand beaches, plethora of snorkelling opportunities, delicious restaurants, and rustic overwater villa.  We enjoyed days at the main swimming pool, kayaking in the turquoise ocean, partaking in local cooking classes, indulging in massages at the tranquil spa, and catching epic sunsets with a tropical cocktail in hand.  A great choice for an authentic tropical getaway in beautiful Maldives.

Le Meridien Maldives was one of our favourite family friendly resorts during our last visit to beautiful atolls.  The stunning natural island offers a picturesque beachfront, lovely reef full of marine life, and unparalleled five star facilities and service.  The variety of beach and overwater villas offers options for both couples and families featuring modern amenities and stylish design.  We loved staying overwater and having access to a decadent bath with ocean views, private deck and swimming pool, and optimal location for the sunset and snorkelling in the house reef.  We enjoyed all the premium facilities at the welcoming resort from a fully staffed Kids Club to tranquil overwater spa, and selection of restaurants sure to please the discerning diner.  Make sure to try your hand at kayaking or snorkelling in the stunning turquoise ocean, partake in a fun filled sushi making class, spend your night with a movie under the stars, and book an unforgettable dolphin cruise for an evening to remember.  A perfect choice for European charm, impeccable service, and postcard worthy scenery at the heart of the Maldives.

Lily Beach Resort & Spa Maldives is an idyllic premium all inclusive resort boasting rustic picturesque villas, pristine white sand beaches, and activities for the whole family.  We loved staying in their beautiful overwater villa boasting a private deck and swimming and one of the most stunning house reefs we’ve seen in the Maldives. We saw turtles, stingrays, and baby sharks right from our villa.  The hospitality is always incredible at Lily and the all inclusive package includes a variety of eateries, mouthwatering buffets, sunset cruises and snorkeling excursions, and an impressive wine list.  We made full use of their watersports, fully staffed kids club, refreshing swimming pools, and the tranquil beaches that surround the island. Hospitality is always a highlight with every member of the team ensuring guests feel right at home.  An amazing all inclusive option if you’re looking for picturesque villas and facilities at a postcard worthy Maldives resort.

The Westin Maldives Miriandhoo Resort, located in the stunning Baa Atoll, is an ideal family getaway.  We loved the five star property featuring modern and sleek architecture, sumptuous guestrooms suitable for families, couples, and groups, and a plethora of luxury facilities.  Days were spent lounging by the stylish main swimming pool, snorkelling at the world famous Unesco Biosphere Reserve, or enjoying the pristine white sand beach.  Our children spent hours at the interactive kids club and we were throughly impressed with the state of the art indoor and outdoor fitness centres.  Their tranquil overwater spa was an idyllic space to unwind with calming and restorative treatments and we loved the variety of cuisines and dining destinations.  An ideal choice for those that are looking to unwind and rejuvenate in a resort that encourages guests to sleep well, eat well, and move well.

Oaga Art Resort is a friendly Maldivian paradise boasting local charm fused with five star comforts and unbeatable scenery.  We loved the vibrant resort and felt right at home as soon as we arrived.  The villas are quirky and artistic with all the modern comforts you expect from a five star property.  We enjoyed our private plunge pool and the picturesque beachfront location.  The entire island is walkable featuring crystal clear waters and beautiful marine life.  The Premium All Inclusive package includes delicious fare at the buzzing buffet and a variety of bars as well as boat excursions, scuba, cooking classes, floating breakfast and more.  It is one of the most complete all inclusive packages we’ve experienced in the Maldives.  Our children couldn’t get enough of the engaging Kids Club and resident animals including baby goats, rabbits, kittens, chicks, and parrots. What truly sets Oaga apart is the community feel and amazing team who go out of their way to make guests feel like family.  Our butler not only assisted us with the logistics of our stay but took our children on adventures, taught them traditional dance, and became their friend during our stay.  An unforgettable resort where you can enjoy luxury and paradise with slices of authentic Maldivian culture.
