As it gets cold and wintry here, we are already longing for warmer temperatures and next summer! Going on a family vacation can be a particular challenge, as very different needs clash. But it doesn't have to be that way, because by choosing a suitable family hotel, you can ensure a relaxing holiday for the whole family.

Our Hotel Tip for the Whole Family
That's why here's our insider tip for your next family vacation: The Cretan Malia Park in Crete! Expansive beaches, turquoise water and around 300 days of sunshine a year – sounds good, right? The beautiful family resort is located in the middle of a botanical garden, directly on the azure sea, promising the perfect base for young and old alike.
Our founder Sara was at Cretan Malia Park this autumn and can only recommend the hotel:
"I found the Cretan Malia Park Family Resort in Crete on Instagram and from the first photos I thought "I have to go there" and preferably "I'll just move in there" - it's so beautiful and lovingly furnished with all the details. As soon as we arrived at the hotel, we could enjoy our vacation and the boys loved the Little Explorers Club from day one. We were impressed that the care is very loving and a lot of creative things are done there. The delicious food, especially in the Greek restaurant Mouries, was super tasty. We hope to come back soon!"

A large play area provides space for dance and theater. Outside, a small organic garden encourages children to get active. There is also a playground nearby.
