When it comes to planning a family vacation, it can be difficult keeping everyone’s individual interests and desires in mind and even more difficult finding the destination that will have it all. There is no worse vacation than the one where the kids are miserable or the parents are bored, so picking the right place is absolutely essential to an enjoyable holiday. Following are some of the less obvious, but surely magnificent, locations to consider bringing your family this year.

First off, for those looking for a real retreat where families can reconnect with one another, Angkor Wat is becoming an increasingly popular destination for a meaningful family vacation. Angkor Wat is a stunning temple located in Cambodia that welcomes tourists and especially children. Western Iceland is also very secluded and often visited by those looking to feel as though they have escaped the whole world.

On a completely different note, families can discover and learn about Mexico’s colorful history by visiting its diverse Yucatan Peninsula. Here, French, Spanish, and Lebanese influences add a unique sense of culture. Much of the same can be said for Togo and Benin, located in West Africa.

For families interested in famous attractions, cultural landmarks, and ancient history, Naples is an ideal location to experience it all. This scenic Italian city gives tourists access to such sights as Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii, as well as all an endless list of recently restored architectural attractions and statues. Naples is also famous for its magnificent boutique shops and exquisite restaurants.

Luxury family vacations can be enjoyed in places such as Tresco, Isles of Scilly, which are situated just west of England’s coast and have developed their tourism to focus on families and keeping children happy and occupied. If you’re really not worried about budgeting, you can have the ultimate family vacation in Monte Carlo, where the Gran Prix takes places each and every year.
