Family-Friendly Half Term Picks: Where to Stay This October

Our top hotel recommendations for families heading away during the October half term, from beachfront villas to farmstay shepherd's huts

Family-Friendly Half Term Picks: Where to Stay This October

October half term is around the corner, and we've rounded up our top picks for family stays, from beachfront escapes to countryside farm retreats, each one geared up for kids as much as parents.

Royal Mansour Tamuda Bay

Right on the Mediterranean Sea with a sandy beach, this is a strong pick for families thanks to its Kids Club, which even has its own beautiful shallow pool and outdoor space. For bigger groups, the three-bedroom villas come with a pool overlooking the sea.

Louma Country Hotel, Jurassic Coast

For a UK half term, the Jurassic Coast is well worth considering, and Louma Country Hotel is our top pick. It has its own petting farm, where kids can meet the lambs and piglets, and we'd always recommend booking one of the shepherd's huts. Kids go crazy for them, they're cute and wonderfully quirky. There's also the option of horse riding during your stay.

Marbella Club

Marbella Club has one of the most enormous kids clubs around, running activities like perfume making and cooking classes. With suites and villas available, it's a great fit for a multi-generational family stay.

Castelfalfi, Italy

For families heading to Italy, Castelfalfi is our recommendation. It has an excellent kids club, an adventure park and an outdoor jungle, and you can even book a nighttime safari for something a little different.

Grace La Margna, St Moritz

Perfect for young families, Grace La Margna has a fabulous kids club filled with Jellycats. Once you're out of the hotel, there's a wonderful path running around the lake, ideal for children who want to let off steam, run around or go on little hikes.

Forte Village, Sardinia

The kids club at Forte Village is fantastic for all ages, with sports academies covering football, rugby and even fencing. And it wouldn't be complete without a mention of the life-size Barbie Dream House, likely every child's dream.
