Family ESCAPE ROUTES FOR EACH SCHOOL HOLIDAY
Make those all-important bonding memories all together, before your kids have flown the nest. We're here to take the stress of planning and logistics off your shoulders. After all, it's what we do best.
South India in April (Easter Break)
ETG's Co-Founder, Sam Clark, swears by South India at Easter. It’s great value, quieter, and warm. Drift through Kerala’s backwaters and explore Tamil Nadu’s hills. We'll take you to hidden canals where real life plays out. India is always eye-opening, and Kerala—especially with family—is the perfect introduction.
Sri Lanka in Summer
For a tropical escape with plenty of adventure, Sri Lanka is where it's at. Co-Founders, Sam and Melissa, both love going with their families and Tom spills insider secrets at his eco-lodge, The Mudhouse. The East Coast shines in July-August and there's also wildlife safaris, ancient cities, and some of the most fun and friendly people you’ll ever meet.
Thailand at Christmas
Thailand is particularly magical with great weather across most of the country. Feel the buzz of bustling markets, step inside Buddhist temples, and head south to bliss out on an island or head into the jungle. This exotic escape is made for families: cool cultural festivities, family-friendly resorts and fabulously fragrant feasts.
Bleak Hotels, Be Gone
You know those corporate internationalised, sanitised, homogenised hotels? They’re everywhere. You could be anywhere. They feel like… nowhere.
Bland accommodation. No, thanks.
We’ve gone out and tracked down the smartest, chicest, most charming, most atmospheric rooms, retreats, lodges and live-long-in-the-memory stays most travellers can only dream of.
Uga Chena Huts, Sri Lanka
Secluded, stylish, and spectacular, Chena Huts was the first luxury lodge to open between Yala National Park and the rolling Indian Ocean.
BABA Eco Lodge, Thailand
Characterful and charming, BABA Eco Lodge stands out from the crowd and has some amazing activities. If this rustic but comfortable beach retreat sounds like it's up your street - chat with us.
Ahilya Fort, India
Remote, relaxed, and remarkable - Ahilya Fort is a real find in a very rural part of India. This gorgeous property perfectly captures what we look for when scouting out hotels for you.
Discover your definitive month-by-month guide to travel in Asia. It's not all about where's best weather-wise, though of course, that plays an important part. Our 'travel calendar' also includes cultural events, festivals and occasions that can elevate your holiday to new heights.
If you're like us, you really care about travel. A significant part of your year will revolve around it; the planning and excitement beforehand, and the stories you share on your return, all matter almost as much as the adventure itself. What's more, many of us prefer to spend money on experiences, rather than material things. So, trust us: we know how important it is to get your holiday right. Here's how we do it.
Experiences
