Family Castaway Week
A week of ocean and wonder the whole family will remember.
Is this you?
This experience is for you if…
- You want a family holiday with actual substance.
- You'd like the kids busy and amazed, and yourselves rested.
- You want time together that everyone remembers.
The experience
More than somewhere to stay
A week designed so children come home buzzing and parents come home rested. Days are full of gentle adventure — snorkelling in the lagoon, a spice-farm treasure hunt, dhow building and turtle spotting — with a kids' programme that gives the grown-ups real downtime.
There's morning yoga for those who want it, a family reef trip everyone can do, and long, easy evenings. It's a proper holiday that happens to be full of wonder.
