Asia

Earth’s largest continent is unparalleled in its diversity, with something to offer all ages, tastes and travellers. Adventure seekers and families with hard-to-please teens can pick from an endless list of adrenaline-inducing activities, from swimming with whale sharks in the Philippines and hiking through the rice terraces of Sapa, Vietnam to hot air ballooning over the temples of Bagan and motorbiking the back roads of Laos. Or, if you’re looking for a little bit of downtime, Asia boasts more than its fair share of tropical beaches ideal for a resort-style vacation with all the trimmings: water activities, easy and accessible dining options, kids’ clubs and babysitting services, and on-site entertainment facilities.

From the snow capped mountains of the Himalayas and the palm-fringed coastlines of South East Asia to the tranquil Mekong River and the wildlife infested jungles and rainforests of Malaysia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Borneo… virtually every climate on the globe is represented here. Asia’s landscapes and diversity of wildlife are guaranteed to enchant and captivate miniature nature enthusiasts, and watching the little ones eyes widen in awe will be an unforgettable experience for parents as well. In addition, Asia boasts some of the world’s oldest civilisations and most incredible ancient wonders, so families after a dose of culture with their travels have come to the right place. From marvelling at the Great Wall of China to indulging your inner Tomb Raider at the jungle-strewn temples of Angkor, little ones will not only make once-in-a-lifetime memories but will learn life lessons about the world around them and its fascinating history.

And the cherry on top? There is perhaps no greater place to dine than Asia! Its many cuisines are beloved the world over, whether its India’s spicy curries, China’s dumplings and fried rice, Vietnam’s rice paper rolls and bowls of pho soup, or Thailand’s noodles. From Singapore and Hong Kong‘s Michelin-starred restaurants to Bangkok’s chaotic street markets, foodies of all ages are simply spoiled for choice.
