Dubai, UAE

Dubai is a great family destination for winter sun. The flight is only seven hours, which may seem like a lot but comes with guaranteed warm weather in the winter. It’s warm, clean and safe. There’s also plenty to do for the kids, such as the waterparks and a desert safari - not to mention there’s a great choice of hotels and restaurants.

The summer is brutally hot in Dubai but you can find reasonable temperatures if you go out in the morning and the evenings; places are open later to accommodate the weather. There are also some great deals for a holiday to Dubai in the summer.

New York, USA

We love New York City. No other city has such a buzz. There is so much to do, from museums to theatre, and just walking around the city is a great way to explore it. We also use New York City as a great base for exploring the northeast coast of the USA, such as the historic city of Boston and the nation’s capital, Washington, DC.

Barcelona, Spain

We also love Barcelona in Spain. The weather is great for the most part and people have a laid back vibe. The food and the wine are excellent. Go up the coast to Costa Brava and you’ve got charming little towns with their own beaches. Go down the coast and the beaches are bigger. You also have PortAventura World, a theme park near Salou that has a water park and Ferrari World inside it.
