The Luxury Travel Magazine

Over the last couple of years, families have missed out on so much. Time spent together, time spent away, and even time spent in the classroom. One&Only Resorts have a distinguished pedigree when it comes to creating extraordinary experiences for families, and they have stepped up to the plate with a range of experiences that bring the family together across their resorts. We have often waxed lyrical about the KidsOnly Club at our favourite One&Only properties, and your little ones will love spending time there while you chill out at the spa or swap homeschooling stories with other parents. But ‘Not all classrooms have walls’ is designed to go beyond the conventional idea of a kids’ club, with each resort offering its own curated collection of activities designed to help families reconnect.

A new-found appreciation for the natural world is something many of us have nurtured over the course of the pandemic, and nature takes centre stage at One&Only Palmilla on Mexico’s Pacific coast. Here you can go whale watching in the Sea of Cortez, snorkel with majestic whale sharks, or enjoy the privilege of taking part in a turtle release programme. At nearby One&Only Mandarina you can hike, mountain bike or zipline through pristine rainforest, learning about the history of the local indigenous people and the endemic flora and fauna of the region.

Nature is also on your doorstep at the One&Only Le Saint Geran, on the northeast coast of Mauritius. Explore the protected reserve of the Île aux Aigrettes, home to the iconic pink pigeon and giant Aldabra tortoises. There are plenty of opportunities for cultural immersion too, whether it’s shopping at a local market with the hotel chef or enjoying a private audience with Mauritian artist Salim Currimjee.

Other experiences include cruising alongside playful spinner dolphins in the Maldives at One&Only Reethi Rah, while in Dubai you can enjoy a desert safari by camel, hot air balloon or four-wheel drive courtesy of the One&Only Royal Mirage Closer to home, try your hand at water polo with the Montenegrin Olympic team or learn to sail at One&Only Portonovi, Montenegro.

With so much on offer for active, adventurous and inquisitive families, 2022 is sure to be a year to remember with One&Only Resorts.

Corfu

"There’s a great range of restaurants; my top tip is book a table at Ouzo for a truly Greek experience. For even more options, we recommend you use the shuttle bus to travel into the old town and dine out at one of the restaurants included in the All-Inclusive plan."

"Definitely look to book some treatments at the world-class Ikos Spa by Anne Semonin, a totally relaxing hideaway - There’s some great shopping to be had in nearby Corfu Old Town, but try to avoid the cruise ship day-trippers so you have the pick of the treasures."

"Upgrading to the Deluxe Collection suites brings with it a range of extra perks, including access to the exclusive beach area and upgraded service and toiletries, as well as minibar amenities.”
