After an emotionally charged year, there is nothing better than a holiday to recharge your batteries and enjoy yourself before getting back to « normal » life. A holiday, yes, but not just anywhere! To make the most of this special time with your loved ones, you will certainly want to go to a magical setting that you won’t soon forget.

 

When it comes to extraordinary hotels, young travellers sometimes tend to be forgotten, yet they too deserve their 5-star holiday. Hotels with swimming pools, in the middle of the nature, with a ton of activities for young and old in breathtaking surroundings, here is Little Guest’s selection of the most incredible luxury hotels!

 

The Soneva Kiri ***** (Thailand)

The first jewel of our selection is located in the heart of the Gulf of Thailand, and more precisely in the private Thai bay of Koh Kood.

It is on this island (« Koh » means « island » in Thai), far from the big cities and tourist circuits that the exceptional Soneva Kiri is built, a real tropical paradise that perfectly combines serenity and luxury.

The hotel’s 36 high-end villas are bordered by lush jungle on one side and a white sandy beach on the other. These two ecosystems are home to a wide variety of flora and fauna that you can discover through the multitude of activities offered by the hotel.

 

 

We love :

• The incredible 3 Bedroom Beach Reserve, the hotel’s most exceptional accommodation, that covers 641 m² and includes a treehouse, a private beach area, a table football in the children’s room, and, above all, a slide that allows them to slide from their room directly into the private swimming pool!

• The preserved sites present on the island: waterfalls, fisher village, mangrove forest, more than enough to keep your days busy.

• The Treepod Dining, this bamboo gondola perched in the trees of the ancient rainforest where you will taste delicious food and a selection of wines offered by a personal waiter who will reach your little nest via a zip line!

• The snorkeling and diving spots in the area, to discover the diversity of the marine fauna. Don’t miss our complete guide of the best diving and snorkeling spots in the world.

 

Only  at the Soneva Kiri:

After a day full of activities and a king’s meal tasted in one of the hotel’s restaurants, go to the top of the observation tower, the ideal place to contemplate the stars and discover the secrets of our galaxy thanks to the giant telescope and the explanations that will be given to you. Something for the whole family to dream about and, why not, awaken the desire to explore in the youngest minds!

Among these fabulous hotels is the Jumeirah Maldives *****, a real jewel in the middle of the ocean that you will reach from Male airport after a transfer by boat or seaplane.

The 67 accommodation options, on the beach or on stilts in the middle of the water, all offer a minimum of 350m² and facilities worthy of the exceptional setting in which they are located.

The Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech ***** (Morocco)

Located in Morocco, 12 kilometers from the ancient city of Marrakech, the Fairmont Royal Palm Marrakech ***** is a sumptuous refuge for families wishing to immerse themselves in Moroccan culture in a luxurious cocoon set in the shadow of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains.

Nestled in a 240-hectare olive grove, this exceptional hotel, a subtle blend of avant-garde design and traditional Berber decoration, brilliantly meets the challenge of offering its guests an unobstructed view of Morocco’s most famous mountain range while providing unparalleled quality hotel services

 

 

We love:

• The proximity of two UNESCO World Heritage cities: Azemmour (3km) and El Jadida (6km).

• The original activities proposed for young and old alike such as paintball, go-karting, buggy outings or even horse rides by the sea starting from the hotel’s equestrian center.

• The presence of the longest golf course in Morocco offering a splendid view on the ocean, and the largest casino in Morocco, enough to keep Mum and Dad busy while the little ones have fun at the various kids’ Clubs.

 

Only at the Mazagan Beach & Golf Resort :

Some people say that you can’t really immerse yourself in a foreign culture until you have experienced one of its traditional meals.

The Mazagan, therefore, offers you the opportunity to try a typical Moroccan dinner, both in terms of the cuisine and the atmosphere. Indeed at the Al Firma, one of the many restaurants of the hotel, you will have the opportunity to taste traditional dishes featuring couscous, tagines, and fruits and vegetables freshly harvested in the organic garden of the estate. Settled on a soft cushion under a magnificent Berber tent, let yourself be enchanted by oriental dances and music in the moonlight.
