Family of 5. Kiddies are 13, 11, 5. Looking at July/August time. Not Europe, not States. So am guessing Thailand, or somewhere similar.

Want more than just a typical hotel package deal, don't want it to cost the earth..... Obviously want good weather (mindful of some countries having very 'wet seasons')....

Suggestions of where to go, who to go with very welcome!

Thanks in advance!

No idea of budget but with that size of family your biggest cost will be flights, then accomodation after that. with that in mind try an RV holiday in British Columbia...should be an adventure.

Safari in South Africa - go and see the big 5 and table mountain, shark / whale watching, loads of cool activities for the kids too.

Nepal (may not be great for the 5 year old)

Tenerife used to have a motocross hire and play track that the older kids would love - not sure if it is still there though. Motocross 365 it was called. Plus Siam park / loro park, beach sports etc. get a villa rather than hotel - much more space, costs less if you do it right.

Brazil or Cuba for a bit more out of the ordinary cultural stuff

Australia / New Zealand (if 5 year old can manage the flight)

Or if you're just looking for a beach holiday, then how about Mauritius (£££) or Red Sea (£)
