Luxury Family Holidays in January

What better time to fly away on a luxury family holiday than the dark winter days of January, especially once the excitement of Christmas is over and Father Christmas has parked up his sleigh for another year. If your children are heading back to school, why not steal a few days of sunshine in Dubai – easy access and guaranteed sunshine makes it ideal, even for a long weekend. Those with younger children can go further afield for a luxury family holiday, and if Christmas has stretched those purse strings, why not think about Malaysia and the island of Langkawi which is home to some charming family-friendly beach-front resorts.

Also offering terrific value for a January family holiday is Thailand – particular family favourites are Krabi and Phuket on the west coast which is still enjoying lovely weather at this time of year. Turquoise has a huge range of family-friendly resorts in Thailand including some hidden gems that are off the beaten track despite Thailand’s popularity. If there’s money in the post-festive coffers, the Indian Ocean is impossible to beat for winter sun and guaranteed to beat off the winter blues.
