Sanctuary Families

With the privacy and independence a holiday villa can provide they are the perfect choice for families. Unconfined by hotel rooms, timings and formalities of dining, families can relax and parents don’t need to feel the need to restrain their children from having fun and making noise. Many of our self-catering villas have their own nanny flats and our family-friendly service includes grocery shopping on request.

Family holidays from Sanctuary Retreats


Family days out:  Knowing that many families choose a villa holiday as a perfect solution to enjoy time overseas with their children, we have gone one step further and designed family touring ideas to offer a good balance between time spent at the cultural sites with time spent engaging in child-friendly activities.

Child-friendly Properties:  If requested all our vacation homes can be equipped with highchairs, cots and pushchairs, DVDs, toys and games. Our Travel Advisors will advise you what facilities each villa has and just how suitable for children they are, including details relating to the swimming pool depth. A selection of our family villas are detailed below.

Child Carers & Nannies: These are professional, English speaking child carers who come armed with creative ideas to keep the tribe of youngsters entertained! We recognise the importance of having suitably qualified people looking after your children and that’s why we recommend the services of a professional child-care agency. With their expertise they are able to determine the correct ratio of child carers for your group; looking at the ages and needs of the children. We are able to put you in contact with your own designated consultant who will match your individual needs.
