| 5 Family Vacations Where You Can Actually Relax |
The next time you plan a family vacation, try something radical: put yourself first. If a resort with 10 waterslides sounds overstimulating for you, skip it. If you want to spend every day in a beach lounger, book it. Release yourself from the tyranny of scheduled fun and discover the relaxing trip you deserve. COMO Parrot Cay is the Turks and Caicos stay of your wildest dreams. This wellness-oriented retreat offers a range of luxe accommodations, including two- to three-bedroom beach houses with private pools and sundecks. Enjoy excursions like paddleboarding, snorkeling, and caving, or sneak away to the private yoga pavilion for a complimentary class. Play by COMO offers thoughtful, supervised programming for kids ages 4 through 12, from lawn games and crafts to kayaking adventures for the bigger kids. Gather for a relaxed dinner at COMO Beach Club, where Caribbean-inspired music fills the air and there’s something on the menu for everyone. |

Fun fact: Etéreo means “ethereal” in Spanish, and it’s exactly how this dreamy resort feels. It’s conveniently located in Mexico’s Riviera Maya, just 25 miles from Cancún International Airport. You can make the trip as adventurous as you please: spend your days on a private stretch of beach, take a dip in your private plunge pool, or explore the ancient Mayan city of Chichén Itzá. For kids ages 4 to 11, the Chavitos Kids Club offers supervised half- or full-day activities, from nature expeditions to piñata-making. For your smallest family members, complimentary gear like high chairs and monitors are available upon request, as are babysitting services. |
