Luxury Family Travel, Tailored by Us, Not the Algorithm

Magic Unwrapped: A Father Christmas Experience in Finnish Lapland

If your family’s Christmas holiday has a list of requirements that sounds something like a snow globe: huskies, Santa, reindeer and lashings of powdery white snow, then Finnish Lapland is the destination for you. The scene is truly magical: snow-dusted pines under a sky animated by a dancing aurora, beneath which sits a secluded luxury chalet and packs of huskies ready to pull your sledges across the snow.

For children, there are private meetings with Santa Claus and his elves in their workshop, followed by tobogganing and reindeer sleighing. At the same time, grown-ups enjoy the beguiling winter scenes: snowmobiling beneath Arctic twilight, rally driving through snowy forests, ice floating beneath a sky twinkling with stars, and restorative sauna and spa experiences in the wilderness.

We think a private chalet is the best way to experience Finnish Lapland, and your Travel Designer will help you handpick one that has everything you need: from rustic log cabins with a traditional Lappish sauna and fire hut, to sleek contemporary chalets with every modern comfort and enough space for the whole family. To get more out of the trip, we can also arrange for a second accommodation, such as a custom-made glass igloo designed for viewing the Northern Lights.

If you want to really chase the Aurora Borealis, then consider a multi-stop trip in beautiful destinations like Iceland and Swedish Lapland.

Disney, Designed by You: Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort

Of all the wonders available in Walt Disney World® Resort, we think this exceptional creative experience, where your child gets the opportunity to work alongside a Disney World professional, is one of the best. Guided by Disney’s Imagineers, your child will create a character before watching it leap from page to screen in a bespoke animated short film. The day then unfolds in true 360 style, with private VIP tours through the parks, a private screening of your child’s creation, and all kinds of optional extras such as an astronaut-led guided tour of the Kennedy Space Station.

You’ll stay in the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World® Resort, in a serene lakeside setting. But this isn’t an average Disney World holiday. Alongside the elevated Four Seasons luxuries: beautiful suites and exceptional service as standard, younger children dive into Kids For All Seasons, a complimentary all-day club, while older teens take over The Hideout with gaming consoles and sports. One particularly memorable highlight is the “Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy & Pals” at Ravello, with all the magic captured by a professional photographer.

Your 360 Private Travel Designer will tailor your luxury Disney World holiday even further with things like themed in-suite experiences, character dining for your group, or private tours of the parks, with a personalised itinerary for every member of your family.

Maldives for All the Family: Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives

Finolhu, in the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, offers barefoot escapism with more than enough entertainment to make it the ideal base for a luxury family holiday in the Maldives. At the heart of Finolhu’s appeal for older kids is The Teens Hut, a brilliantly curated space designed just for them. Laid-back and social, days here unfold with things like design workshops at the Art Studio, building coral trees with a resident marine biologist, paddleboarding across the cerulean blues of the lagoon, or mastering hands-on cooking classes. Highlights include family cinema nights under the stars, guided snorkelling tours across the reef, and sip-and-paint classes that engage every generation.

The private beaches at Finolhu are divine, with silky white sands licked by blue waters, and more active travellers can try jet skiing, diving, and even night snorkelling to see the reef come alive after dark. But our family holidays are all about connection, so expect barefoot dinners together at the wonderful beachside Crab Shack or in-villa barbecues with just you and your loved ones. The villas here are stunning, and your Travel Designer will help you select the best based on your needs: with options for interconnected villas, villas on the beach, and villas with large family-sized terraces hovering over a dreamy lagoon.

A Family Hideaway in the Tuscan Hills, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco

Tucked into a picturesque 5,000-acre estate amid Brunello vineyards, olive groves and all those iconic Italian Cypress trees towering over the hills, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco feels like a private slice of Tuscany. Here, sprawling suites and villas (created from 17th and 18th-century farmhouses) boast views of the Val d’Orcia, and have space enough for family celebrations and multi-generational get-togethers. Younger guests dive into the My Rosewood Explorers programme, with pasta and pizza-making, harvesting vegetables from the organic gardens, and treasure hunts in the medieval borgo. But summer in Tuscany is perfect for outdoor adventures too, and those fabulous hills and car-free paths are ideal for bike rides and hikes taken directly from the hotel.

For adults, there are pro-golf lessons at Italy’s only private club: Castiglion del Bosco Golf Club, sunset swims in the 2 heated infinity pools (though you won’t need these if you take a villa, as they all have their own), wine tastings at Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco’s winery, and convivial family dinners in candle-lit courtyards. Book ahead, and your 360 Private Travel Designer can tailor every detail, ensuring a stress-free family escape amidst Tuscany’s undulating hills.

Consider extending your Tuscany trip to Florence, where your Travel Designer can secure exclusive access to the city’s most treasured icons, from a private audience with Michelangelo’s David at the Accademia to an exclusive ascent to the Duomo’s rooftop terraces.
