About this episode

<p>Travelling with kids isn’t quite the relaxing escape it once was - but it can still be one of the most rewarding, memorable things you do as a family.</p><p>In this episode, I’m sharing an honest take on what travel really looks like with three children and some of my favourite spots to visit, including the JW Marriott Maldives Resort &amp; Spa - which struck that rare balance between true luxury and genuine ease with children - and Feuerstein Nature Family Resort, which was quite possibly the most enjoyable holiday the kids have ever had.</p><p>I also share quick thoughts on other standout family-friendly hotels, including Soneva Fushi, One&amp;Only Le Saint Géran, Banyan Tree Phuket, Wilderness Reserve and The Ritz-Carlton Krabi - each offering something slightly different depending on the kind of trip you’re after.</p><p>We also touch on what’s next on our travel list this year - from Hong Kong Disneyland and the ease of Ikos Dassia, to slower, design-led stays at Sublime Comporta and the magic of a winter trip to Lapland.</p><p>This episode is less about perfect itineraries, and more about a shift in mindset - travelling differently, choosing ease where you can, and embracing the chaos (just a little).</p><p>Because while it might not always feel like a holiday… it’s always worth it.</p><p><br/></p><p>SHOW NOTES:</p><p><b>FAMILY-FRIENDLY HOTELS (Linked for ease)</b></p><ul><li><a href='https://www.dpbolvw.net/click-101568662-11891539?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Fmv%2Fjw-marriott-maldives-resortandspa.html'> JW Marriott Maldives Resort &amp; Spa </a></li><li> <a href='https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101568662-11891539?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Fit%2Ffamilienhotel-feuerstein.html'>Feuerstein Nature Family Resort </a></li><li> <a href='https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101568662-11891539?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Fmv%2Fsoneva-fushi.html'>Soneva Fushi </a></li><li> <a href='https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-101568662-11891539?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Fmu%2Fone-only-le-saint-geran-mauritius.html'>One&amp;Only Le Saint Géran </a></li><li> <a href='https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101568662-11891539?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Fth%2Fbanyan-tree-phuket.html'>Banyan Tree Phuket </a></li><li><a href='https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-101568662-11891539?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Fza%2Fbushmans-kloof-wilderness-reserve.en-gb.html%3F'> Wilderness Reserve </a></li><li> <a href='https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-101568662-11891539?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Fth%2Fphulay-bay-a-ritz-carlton-reserve.html%3F'>The Ritz-Carlton Krabi </a></li></ul><p><br/></p><p><b>ON OUR TRAVEL LIST (Linked for ease)</b></p><ul><li><a href='https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101568662-11891539?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Fhk%2Fhong-kong-disneyland-hong-kong.html'>Hong Kong Disneyland</a></li><li><a href='https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-101568662-11891539?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Fgr%2Fdassia-ikos.html'> Ikos Dassia </a></li><li> <a href='https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101568662-11891539?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Fpt%2Fsublime-comporta-retreat-amp-restaurant.html'>Sublime Comporta </a></li><li><a href='https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-101568662-11891539?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.booking.com%2Fhotel%2Ffi%2Fnorthern-lights-ranch.html'>Lapland</a></li></ul><p><br/></p><p>Find us on instagram: @wearemothertongue</p><p>Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@mothertonguethepodcast</p>
