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.

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 & 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.

I also share quick thoughts on other standout family-friendly hotels, including Soneva Fushi, One&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.

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.

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).

Because while it might not always feel like a holiday… it’s always worth it.
