It’s not a bona fide trip to paradise unless everyone’s having fun, right? At Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort, you’ll run out of time before you run out of things to do — even if you’re too little to swim with whale sharks or jet ski around the lagoon. For 4- to 11-year-old guests, there’s the AvaniKids club, with spacious indoor and outdoor play areas, games, toys, and a daily schedule of activities.

There’s also the one-of-a-kind Petit Bistrot diner, where parents are banned and kids can eat in peace. And older kids will love spending time at the Teens’ Club, with gaming stations, a pool table, board games, and space to just hang out with other teens. There are also plenty of family-bonding activities at the resort: dolphin-spotting cruises, kayaking, fun-tubing, and private dhoni boat charters for exploration across the seas.

Does your family like beautiful beaches, tasty food, and spacious, stylish rooms? Then Avani+ Mai Khao Phuket Suites & Villas might be the perfect place for you. With a wide range of chic accommodations to choose from, it’s got options for families of all sizes, including connecting pavilions with their own private pools.

On property, you’ll find an AvaniKids club where children older than four can join in on supervised activities (like rock wall climbing and pizza making), while their parents enjoy some downtime at the spa or on the beach. For all-ages activities, there’s tennis, cycling, trips to Phuket Town, and island-hopping tours around the famous sites of Phang Nga Bay. Bonus: guests staying here enjoy access to all the leisure facilities of Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, just across the road.

For a family-friendly getaway on the wild side, Avani Victoria Falls Resort in Zambia tops the list. Perched at the edge of the largest falls in the world, this family resort is your gateway to bucket-list activities like game drives, river safaris, and elephant encounters. You might even wake up to zebras, giraffes, and gazelles grazing outside your window.

The AvaniKids club boasts a colourful outdoor space where little ones can run free, plus arts and crafts, games, nature walks, and excursions farther afield. Older kids will love activities like quad-bike tours, pony and horseback rides, and safaris to see lions and rhinos. Want something more high-octane? Book an Avani babysitter and take a microlite flight over the falls or go for a white-water rafting in its rapids.

A family holiday to the temples of "Tomb Raider" sets high expectations for adventure and excitement, and FCC Angkor by Avani delivers on both counts. It’s the perfect base for Angkor Wat family tours, just a 15-minute drive from the temple complex and with a wide range of tour options and itineraries. There are also trips to lesser-known temples, market tours, and cruises to see Kampong Phluk floating village on Tonlé Sap lake.

If you need a break from relics and ruins, there are plenty of contemporary activities as well: family foodie adventures by tuk-tuk, ziplining, quad biking, and more. Or for a cultural experience that’s unlike any other, see the Phare Circus, with its acrobatic performances and unique Cambodian tales. If it’s a lazy day you need, the resort’s courtyard pool and AvaniKids room will keep little ones entertained.

Quy Nhon might not be the most famous beach destination in Vietnam, but it’s the perfect spot for a quiet family getaway. Nestled on the beachfront, Avani Quy Nhon Resort lets you lap up seaside serenity from spacious family-sized suites and studios (pro tip: get a room with an ocean-facing balcony for uninterrupted views). When it’s time to get out and about, there are nature hikes, Quy Nhon tours, and day trips to nearby Cham remnants for a touch of local history.

Children stay busy with a full schedule of daily activities at the resort’s AvaniKids club. For a little mindfulness, there’s junior yoga, meditation, and viet vo dao martial arts, plus a range of creative outlets like T-shirts, mask and hat painting, puzzles, games, and cooking classes. If you just want to chill by the ocean with an ice cream (or mojito), you can do that too, with sun loungers and ocean views at Gio poolside bar.

Keep the whole crew together at this overwater resort for families in Malaysia. Just a 90-minute drive southwest of Kuala Lumpur, Avani Sepang Goldcoast Resort offers two- and three-bedroom overwater villas, with space for up to six adults. Villas come with lots of family-friendly perks, like private terraces for al-fresco dining, complimentary weekend movie nights, fire shows, and bike rides.

For little guests, the AvaniKids schedule is packed with fun stuff: DIY kite making, henna tattoos, sand art, bath-bomb making, and more. The resort can also set up an in-room mini-tent, which comes with a toy, pillow, and blanket to cuddle with. Want some family activities you can all enjoy? Go on a private tour to Batu Caves, explore the nearby mangroves, hop on a river cruise, or book the karaoke villa for an hour of power tunes.

Tucked away north of Phuket, Avani+ Khao Lak Resort offers an unparalleled playground for both the young and the young at heart.

The resort's prime location also means you're just a speedboat ride away from the world-renowned dive sites of the Similans and the awe-inspiring limestone cliffs of Phang Nga Bay.

Hone your climbing skills at the AvaniFit gym before testing your mettle on some of the Andaman Coast's legendary coastal climbs.
