Family travel is one of the most important sectors of the hospitality – especially in Asia. A recent study* found that Asian travellers are twice as likely as their Western counterparts to take a family holiday.
But which destination should parents choose this summer to ensure a fun-filled family vacation? Mövenpick Resort & Spa Boracay, the tropical beachfront destination nestled at Punta Bunga Cove on Boracay’s idyllic northwest tip, has everything families could need for an active and entertaining their stay.
In the Philippines, travelling with one’s family is part of the national culture; the same study found that 62 percent of Filipino families travel together five or more times per year! This makes the country a wonderfully welcoming destination for parents and kids, and the child-friendly team at Mövenpick Resort & Spa Boracay will make all families feel completely at home.
The rooms, suites and facilities at Mövenpick Resort & Spa Boracay are perfectly attuned to the needs of families. Accommodation options include the spacious 115-square metre Sol Marina Suite, which can comfortably accommodate four adults and two children, and the luxurious 375-square metre Sol Marina Villa, which even features its own private pool.
The spectacular 3,300-square metre multi-level swimming pool lets families to make a splash together, while the resort’s long stretch of private beach at Punta Bunga Cove creates an exceptional setting for beach games and water sports, including stand-up paddle-boarding, parasailing and exotic island-hopping adventures. Alternatively, children will enjoy endless hours of fun at the Little Birds Club and outdoor playground.
Food always brings families together and memorable meals can be enjoyed at The Market, the vibrant international restaurant, Brezza, the authentic Italian ristorante, or Ssäm, which serves innovative Asian cuisine. The Power Bites children’s menu features a range of tempting and healthy dishes, and the resort’s daily Chocolate Hour showcases Mövenpick’s famous Swiss sweet treats.
