Where to go in the school holidays

Planning a family holiday around the school calendar can be a challenge—but it’s also an opportunity. At Little People Big Adventures, we specialise in crafting tailor-made, luxury family holidays that align perfectly with each school break. Whether you’re dreaming of winter sun at Christmas, a bold Easter adventure, or a long summer escape, we’ll help you choose the right destination for your children’s ages, interests, and term dates.

As parents ourselves we have curated the best places to travel during every school holiday. From wildlife safaris and cultural journeys to beachside retreats and desert explorations, these enriching, age-appropriate adventures make the most of your time away together.

  • Boats at the Mekong Delta Floating Market

    February Half term

    A welcome break in the heart of winter—ideal for both quick escapes and far-flung adventures. Whether you’re soaking up the sun in the Canaries or exploring Sri Lanka’s coast and culture, our February holidays offer warmth, wonder, and time to reconnect.

  • Mother and son watching the sun set in the desert in Morocco

    Easter

    Two weeks of golden opportunity. Think cherry blossoms in Japan, wildlife in Sri Lanka, or desert nights in Jordan. Adventures that align with spring energy.

  • May Half term

    A sweet spot in the calendar: fewer crowds, perfect weather, and one week of family freedom. We’ll help you make every moment count.

  • Giraffe on the savannah in Kenya

    Summer

    From Arctic fjords to African plains, summer invites bold journeys. These school holidays are long for a reason—let’s make them unforgettable.

  • Family watching the great geysir in Iceland

    October Half term

    Crisp air and fewer crowds make October perfect for intrepid family escapes. From Moroccan souks to South African safaris, this is shoulder season at its best.

  • Sunny Holidays at Christmas

    Swap grey skies for golden horizons. From the beaches of Southeast Asia to the deserts of Oman, our Christmas holidays bring sun, space, and soul to your family celebration.
