Kenzi Agdal Medina Resort, Marrakech

We recently got back from staying at Kenzi Club Agdal Medina in Marrakech over February half term, and it turned out to be such an incredible mix of winter sunshine, culture, relaxation, and family-friendly fun. Staying in an all-inclusive resort filled with kids’ pools, water slides, and sports facilities felt like a real oasis away from the hustle of the city, while still being only around 10 minutes from the main Medina. It gave us the best of both worlds — laid-back resort living combined with the colour, energy, and culture of Marrakech. If you’re wondering where to stay in Marrakech with kids, here’s everything you need to know about staying at Kenzi Club Agdal Medina Resort.

Here’s everything we found out and enjoyed doing with our kids there…

French Center Parcs: The Perfect Family Holiday Near Paris & Disney

We booked a French Center Parcs mostly because it was a lot cheaper - and chicer - than the UK version, and because it conveniently put Paris and Disney within easy reach. What we didn’t expect was just how incredible it would be. It felt less like a budget compromise and more like a hidden gem — somewhere between a scaled-down Kinderhotel and a surprisingly chic Soho Farmhouse, with bikes, Land of Legends adventure playgrounds, a farm and more activities than we could have ever fitted in! Here’s our full review and everything you need to know…

Florida without the Theme Parks, the best Beaches…

We spent Christmas in Florida and it was just such a dream. The houses are fully decorated, Americans go ALL out, it’s warm and sunny. I used to holiday there as a child so it was fun to revisit all of my favourite spots with my own children. Here’s a look at our favourite beaches, towns and children’s museums. There’s so much more to Florida than Disney but these would make for a great second week if you are there doing the theme parks.

Camping at Le Paradis and The Dordogne

After the Ile de Re, our next stop on our French roadtrip this summer was the Dordogne! I actually didn’t know anything about this region, we booked it solely for @leparadisdordogne campsite which had been recommended as a special spot and it broke up our journey to Annecy. It ended up being better than we ever could have hoped for! This region is stunning, I’d say it feels like the Cotswolds of France in the countryside with charming stone villages, the river to kayak on and lots of chateaus. Here’s a mini guide;
