Jetset With Kids: How To Do Family Travel
Without Losing Your Mind (or Style)
Let’s be honest: traveling with kids can feel… intense. Between logistics, nap schedules, snack negotiations, and the very real fear of forgetting something, it’s no wonder so many parents avoid planning the trip they actually want.
But here’s the truth: family travel can be joyful, elevated, and dare I say, stylish - when it’s designed thoughtfully.
As a travel advisor (and someone who’s helped dozens of families swap chaos for connection), here’s how I help my clients jetset with their littles - beautifully.
Choose Stays That Work For Everyone (Not Just the Kids)
Yes, it’s important that your hotel is family-friendly. But that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice style. I have a carefully curated list of resorts and villas that offer all the ease - kids’ clubs, connecting suites, beach toys on hand - with just the right amount of grown-up polish.
Think: beachfront luxury with a kid’s pool around the corner, or a private villa where you can sip rosé while the kids explore safely..
Curate The Right Pace - And Build In Breathing Room
The biggest mistake I see? Trying to do too much. I help you build a rhythm that flows naturally for your family. A little adventure, a little downtime, and the freedom to pivot when moods change (because they will).
From private drivers to pre-booked dinners with kid-friendly menus, I take care of the details so you can stay focused on the moments that matter.
Lesson: Don’t try to emulate what you do at home - when traveling rhythms are disrupted - sleeping in longer and staying up later.
Add A Few “Wow” Moments — For Them And For You
Travel is the best kind of magic for kids. Whether it’s spotting monkeys in Costa Rica, taking a cooking class in Italy, or boarding a boat to a secret island - the joy is real, and it’s unforgettable.
But don’t worry - I always sneak in something special for parents too. A spa afternoon, a wine tasting, or even just a room with a view and a little quiet time.
Let Me Handle The Logistics (And The What-Ifs).
Passports, transfers, cots, dietary needs, early check-ins, nap windows - I’ve got it covered. I’ll think of everything, so you don’t have to - because you deserve a holiday too. Family travel doesn’t have to mean settling for second-best or feeling like a frazzled tour guide. It can be seamless. Beautiful. Even indulgent.
Let’s create a family escape that’s full of connection, comfort, and stories you’ll be telling for years.
