Thanksgiving Vacations by country

Instead of spending yet another Thanksgiving battling the last-minute turkey shoppers and the dreaded Black Friday crowds, why not avoid the chaos and jet away for a few days of peace and quiet in the sun? There is surely no better way to spend this holiday as a family than on a Thanksgiving vacation.


If it's a relaxing break you're after, we can make sure that is exactly what you get: even with the kids in tow, this is possible. We know the hotels with the best Kids Clubs and activities on offer, so the children can be kept busy as much or as little as they (or you...) choose; we will also ensure there are babysitting services available in the evenings, so you can spend some time to yourselves and enjoy a peaceful meal.


For short-haul trips, we can recommend some great family-friendly places, including an island-hopping adventure to Hawaii, or perhaps a trip down to South America. If a long-haul flight with children doesn't fill you with dread, Morocco, for those on the East Coast, or Japan, for those on the West Coast, are more exotic options for Thanksgiving vacations that are still fairly accessible. Whether you'd rather hop in your car and head somewhere nearby, or board a jet to halfway around the world, our experts are ready and waiting with advice on where to spend this holiday as a family.
