Your Family Beach Vacation Isn’t Complete Without These!

Planning a vacation to the beach can be daunting for new parents, especially if you’re taking the little ones in tow! Not knowing what to expect and the fear of the trip becoming a complete disaster are common concerns, especially when traveling with infants. With some prep work and pre-planning, you can successfully turn the family holiday into a fun one.

We’re going to share some insider tips on how to ace your family vacation:

1. Book a room or hotel with direct beach access
When you travel with children, it’s important to find a family-friendly hotel near a beach that has the amenities and convenience. Access is important for parents who need to get their kids cleaned up quickly, getting them fed or even settled for their nap time.
At Novus Jiva, Anyer, all guests have exclusive access to the private beach with shuttles readily available to transport guests at any time. Children-friendly activities and play areas are offered to keep young guests entertained.

2. Get an inflatable float
Safety is no 1 in every parent’s handbook. Invest in an inexpensive age-appropriate float that you can easily inflate and deflate for easy packing. They are great for children who want to spend lots of time in both the ocean and hotel pool. Even if your kid is a good swimmer, having a floatation device helps everyone to feel more at ease.

3. Plan for a kid-friendly dinner on your vacation
Every parent wants to avoid cranky children, and there is no better recipe for tantrums than hunger and exhaustion. There should be no waiting time allowed when it comes to mealtime, especially when you are traveling with children. For a smooth vacation, always inquire ahead if the restaurant in the hotel has a child-friendly menu. That way, you can enjoy your holiday in peace while your children’s meals are taken care of.
With three different restaurant concepts in Novus Jiva, we have included a kid's menu so that every family vacation is a delightful experience for all.

4. Always bring sunscreen
Protecting everyone from the sun should be high on the list of every parent. Don’t forget to slather sunscreen on your children before hitting the beach. Having a kid with sunburn during the trip is no fun for anyone. If sunscreen is not applicable, make sure to pack a long-sleeve rash guard that’s made for blocking UV rays. They are a lifesaver!

5. Let go and have fun
Children are more resilient than they look. Instead of fretting with worry and ruining your vacation by watching your children like a hawk, trust that they are exploring and having a time of their lives. Let them put their toes in the sand, get dirty and be themselves!
If you need some time to yourself, you can always stop by at the Kid’s Club and let our on-site sitter take care of your children while you get pampered at Daiva Spa! Great parents are those who take care of themselves first :)
