Although it is wise to still take precautions in the aftermath of the pandemic, the idea of getting away on a family holiday is incredibly tempting after going through lockdowns and years of uncertainty.

It’s important to enjoy some time with your loved ones and get a change of scene. Not only will this help you bond as a family unit, but it can offer some much-needed downtime and an escape from your usual routine. If you would like to go away with your family in 2022, here are some holiday ideas you might be interested in.

  1. A City Break

City breaks can be fantastic for long weekends, but staying for a week or two can also make for a great family holiday. Cities will often have plenty of sites to see and other cultural experiences that can keep you entertained for days on end, and staying longer can also give you the chance to return to some of your favourite spots before you return home.

You could also rent a car or use public transport to explore areas just outside of the city that can offer perhaps a slower pace if you need a break from the hustle and bustle of a metropolis. Museums, art galleries and even theatres often have a lot of activities and shows aimed at families with young children too, so there will be something for every age group to enjoy.

  1. All-Inclusive Resorts

All-inclusive holiday resorts can be more cost-effective for some families, although some packages will be more expensive than others. However, they can make planning your holiday simpler as flights and accommodation are organized for you as part of the deal.

These types of resorts usually have a variety of restaurants and bars on-site that you can enjoy, as well as swimming pools, gyms, spas, and other facilities for guests to use at their leisure. Kids clubs and organized activities are also an option in many places, so you can sit back and relax by the pool while they’re off having fun.

  1. Caravan Holiday Parks

Caravan and camping holidays are another excellent choice for families, and there are plenty of brilliant holiday parks here in the UK that you can try. While you can rent a caravan for your stay if you like the great outdoors and this style of getaway, you might find investing in caravan ownership to be worthwhile.

In fact North Lakes Country Park in the Lake District offers caravan ownership in one of the most beautiful places in the UK, and you can return year after year, creating a much loved family holiday tradition. It could even work well if you wanted to enjoy a bank holiday weekend away from home, too.

  1. Ski Holiday

Skiing might not be a sport that everyone enjoys, but even if you would prefer to stay off the slopes, being in the snowy mountains can be a wonderful change of scenery that can help you feel refreshed. Also, this kind of family holiday can be particularly wonderful around the Christmas season and will help you all feel festive, but be prepared to pay higher prices during this popular season.

If you want to get away with your family this year but aren’t sure what type of getaway would be right for you all, consider the suggestions above and see if any of them sound right for your family.
