ultimate family travel blog for non-stop inspiration

We spent our Easter weekend nestled deep in the South Tyrolean Alps at the stunning Feuerstein Nature Family Resort — a luxury hideaway designed entirely around families. This wasn’t just another family hotel; it was an intentional, detail-driven experience that set a new bar for what a high-end holiday with little ones could be. The occasion? Four nights over the Easter weekend, which also happened to be my birthday. And what better place to celebrate with my family than this serene family retreat nestled at the end of the Pflerschtal Valley.

For a special birthday weekend, our group of two families—each with little ones under two—ventured to Geislerhof Farm Resort in Gerlos, Zillertal. The birthday girl wished for a cozy mountain retreat with a fireplace, and this high-end yet charming chalet resort delivered just that. With breathtaking views of a Toblerone-shaped mountain and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, our first impression was one of small-scale luxury and family-friendly comfort.

Last September, I spent a sunny week with my family of four at the Iberostar Albufera Park in Mallorca. I was initially sold on the resort after @mamadoeseurope raved about her stay with her two boys on Instagram. Known for its family-friendly amenities and beautiful beachfront location, the resort has tons to offer, especially in comparison with other options on the island. I will admit that upfront my resort-hesitant husband took some convincing to try out the Mallorca resort life, but fortunately the Iberostar Selection Albufera Park even managed to turn its biggest skeptic into a fan.
