For many, travelling with young children can be daunting but with the right holiday planning it can be a joy.

When you holiday you don’t want to compromise on comfort, convenience or privacy. What you want is a home away from home, where every luxury is part and parcel of your holiday experience – privacy, top-of-the-line amenities, discreet staff, and safety for your children.

After all with your young family, you cannot afford to take risks. You’d prefer to have everything in place way before you arrive in Goa. It makes travelling so much more relaxed and enjoyable. As you walk through the front door of your luxury villa it should feel like you’ve arrived home but much more; it should also have an element of surprise – a beautiful villa, the sparkling ocean in the distance, palm trees and all the beauty and excitement of being in Goa.

Space is a luxury to be savoured. Spacious well designed bedrooms ensure comfort and style, large private gardens mean your children can run freely and safely, or swim all day long in a private pool that is exclusive to your family. If you have very young kids select a luxury villa with a partly shaded pool so they do not get sunburned.

Best of all, no one has to be cooped up in a hotel room. While the kids play, you can settle down on a sun bed or the verandah with a book, or share family time chatting in the sitting room of your luxury villa, lunching al fresco, going for bicycle rides through quiet country roads in Goa, exploring heritage sites near the villa. In the evening, the children can wind down with a DVD before retiring to their own bedrooms so there’s no compromising on the childrens’ bed times.

And when the kids are hungry, snacks can be whipped up in the kitchen so there’s no need to go to a restaurant just for a quick bite. Home-cooked meals can be prepared at your luxury villa without the hassle of shopping, serving or cleaning up dishes.

What is that ol’ saying? A family who holidays together, stays together!
