If you’re struggling through the colder months, this is your sign to book something to look forward to. I’m here with the latest travel deals and destination inspiration to get you sorted.
Honestly, having a trip in the diary keeps me motivated through the tough days, gives me a goal for getting back to strength training and a reason to try to make some healthier choices. It’s basically an investment in you!! Booking early also allows a better choice of rooms (which for 5 is limited), flight times (which matter, trust me), lower deposits, access to the best deals, and far less last-minute stress.

🌍 Where To Go This Year?
🇬🇷 Rhodes
We adore the Greek Islands and enjoyed another trip to Rhodes last year. We stayed at Grecotel LUXME Dama Dama – such a beautiful location and I highly recommend for a relaxed(ish) holiday with kids!

🇬🇷 Crete
We love Daios Cove – it will always be close to our heart as our honeymoon destination, and then one we adored visiting again 10 years later with our family!
🇬🇷 Corfu
A brilliant option for May half-term – warm, relaxed and perfect for families. Plus it’s quieter and less expensive at this time of year! Kalamaki House was perfect for us.
🇳🇱 Amsterdam
Such an underrated family city break with British Airways – bikes, boats, pancakes and plenty to keep kids entertained without it feeling hectic.

🇫🇮 Lapland
Pure magic, and not just at Christmas. We stayed at Apukka Resort, and it was genuinely unforgettable for all ages.
🇮🇹 Alta Badia
Whether it’s winter skiing or a summer mountain escape, Alta Badia is special. One of those places you immediately want to return to.
🇲🇻 Maldives
I always dreamed of the Maldives – just not quite like this. Proof that it can work with children and still feel incredible! Best at travel did a superb job.
🧳 Holiday Essentials
Before we travel, I always do a quick essentials check, the right bits make the journey (and the holiday) so much smoother. For the kids think travel games, headphones, snacks, comfy layers and those little things that keep everyone happy on flights and transfers. For me I love a great travel bag, silk eye mask, luxe skincare minis and lots of organisation!
