This is how to choose a holiday (home) that makes every family member happy

Planning a holiday with the whole family is often a joy ... until the time comes when you have to choose something that will make everyone happy. Because what works for a toddler might be a drama for an adolescent. And if the parents are exhausted after only two days, the vacation feeling is also far away. Fortunately, there is a way to find a holiday home or destination that does work for each family member. In this blog, we will help you step by step in making a smart choice. Whether you are traveling with young children, adolescents or a mix of ages - this is how to avoid stress and ensure a holiday full of fun for everyone.

A child-friendly holiday home feels like coming home to a place where everything is just right. Where your children can play freely in an enclosed garden, a high chair and baby bed are available inside and you can start your holiday without stress. Maybe there are toys available or a playground around the corner - little things that make a big difference. A family holiday should also really feel like a holiday for each family member, including you as a parent. Find a cottage where you have paid attention to details, such as:

Going on holiday with teenagers? That requires a smart balance between freedom and being together. Where younger children are happy with a playground, teenagers mainly want to do their own thing - with wifi, peers and a bit of privacy. So choose a holiday home with separate bedrooms, a good Internet connection and preferably near fun activities. What also helps: involve your teen in the planning. Let them contribute ideas about the destination or outings, and give them space to do their own thing sometimes. You can also choose a unique overnight stay such as a treehouse, for example.

A holiday park can often be a good way out for a holiday with children, regardless of age. Do you have children who are in different age stages? Then a vacation park is definitely recommended. These offer fun facilities for both young and old, making them an ideal option! The treehouse below offers a special experience in the middle of nature while staying at a park with many fun facilities.

For families with children, family-friendly vacation parks in the Netherlands are a hit. Everything is focused on convenience and entertainment: from indoor pools and indoor playgrounds to animation teams, children's restaurants and bike rentals. At these parks, your children can easily make new friends and spend the holidays together. You can often choose between different types of accommodation, with each having its own advantages and disadvantages:

Family glamping tents are ideal for those who love camping but would like some more facilities and luxury. An example of a glamping tent at a nice vacation park is this 6-person glamping tent including kitchen and bathroom. The same park also has a safaritent located right on the water, ideal for when your kids are a little older! These are some examples of glamping tents suitable for family holidays. The park offers entertainment, is located by a swimming pond, has a restaurant, playing fields and is in a good location.

Another option are holiday homes with private gardens in a location surrounded by nature. An example is this holiday home that has a private (heated) pool. Suitable for 6 people and located on a park with many suitable facilities for children. On this same park there is also another holiday home with a generous private garden. Also suitable for 6 persons and in a beautiful location on the park. You can enjoy the swimming pool and restaurant here and for the children there are several playing fields. You can also rent bikes to explore the beautiful nature of the Utrecht Hill Ridge.

The perfect family vacation is in a place where there is something for everyone. Think of destinations with a mix of nature, adventure and relaxation - such as the Veluwe, South Limburg or near the coast. While the children have fun in the woods or on the beach, parents enjoy peace and quiet, a good book or a cozy terrace. An environment with varied excursions - from climbing forests to castles - ensures that no one gets bored. This makes it a real holiday for young and old.
