Santorini
Santorini is a beautiful small Greek island that is known for its rugged landscape and small whitewashed towns found atop the cliffs overlooking the Aegean Sea.

This means that there is much more to Santorini than just the beach, but it is also a great destination for those looking to soak up the sun.
Gran Canaria
The Canary Islands are always a good choice for families looking for a beach vacation without having to leave Europe. It can be hard to choose between the islands, but if beaches are your priority then Gran Canaria will be the best choice thanks to its incredible black lava and white sand beaches. It also features a mountainous interior, so it can be a fun place for hiking and exploring too. Make sure to prebook flights and activities to avoid any hassle on the run-up to the holiday as it can get busy.
Malaga
The capital of the Costa del Sol, Malaga is a hotspot during the summer holidays and it is easy to see why. Here you have a spectacular climate, sandy beaches and many resorts, which also means that this is somewhere that is easy to travel to with kids.

As a popular resort area, you will also find that it is never too hard to find somewhere good to eat and somewhere that kids can always find something that they will enjoy.
