Choosing the Right holiday Accommodation: Tips for Families, Couples, Friends, and Solo Parents


Selecting the perfect accommodation for your upcoming trip can significantly impact the overall enjoyment and comfort of your stay. We've certainly fallen short a few times when travelling. Whether it was ensuring there were cots available when our son was younger or the bed situation when sharing accommodation with friends and family. So it's super important to find the the right place to stay for a memorable and stress free holiday.


Here are some helpful tips for each type of traveler to ensure you choose the ideal accommodation for your needs.


For fAMILIES


Space Matters

You will definitely require more space to accommodate everyone comfortably. Look for accommodations with multiple bedrooms, a living area, and possibly a kitchenette for added convenience.


Child Friendly Amenities

We can't stress this one enough, check out what's included in the accommodation so you dont have to pack up your whole home to feel comfortable on holiday. What essentials come as part of the accommodation package? If you're not too sure, reach out to the hotel or accommodation to ask, you'd be surprised what they can offer you,


Consider family-friendly amenities such as a pool, playground, or kids' club to keep your little ones entertained during your stay.


Proximity to Attractions

This one is mostly for staycations, if you would like to venture out with your family, choose accommodation close to family friendly attractions, parks, or beaches to make it easier to explore with children in tow.


For couples


Romantic Setting

Opt for accommodations with a romantic ambiance, such as a private balcony, ocean views, or a cozy fireplace to create a memorable experience for you and your partner.


Relaxation and Privacy

Look for accommodations that offer peace and quiet, away from the hustle and bustle, to enjoy quality time together.


Special Packages

Most suppliers and hosts will have special packages that can be requested, consider booking a romantic package that includes extras like champagne, couples' spa treatments, or a candlelit dinner for a special touch.


for groups of friends


Shared Spaces

Choose accommodations with communal areas like a lounge, rooftop terrace, or barbecue area where you can socialise and spend time together.


Budget Friendly Options

Instead of booking separate mid-range hotel rooms, it sometimes works out cheaper to get a luxury villa or lodge at a high total price, but works out more affordable with the cost split between your travelling group. Luxury hotel vibes for less with your own space! Save money while still enjoying a comfortable stay.


Proximity to Nightlife and entertainment

Select accommodations near bars, restaurants, or entertainment venues if you and your friends enjoy exploring the local area and nightlife scene.


For solo parents


Family-Friendly Facilities

Look for accommodations with amenities tailored to families, such as childcare services, kids' clubs, or family suites to cater to your children's needs.


Safety and Security

Prioritise accommodations in safe neighbourhoods or resorts with security measures in place for peace of mind when travelling alone with children.


Support Services

Choose accommodations that offer babysitting services, kids' activities, or family friendly excursions to make your trip as stress free as possible.


Choosing the appropriate accommodation, regardless of your travel preferences or companions, has the potential to elevate your travel adventure and form enduring memories.
