We have also included a selection of our luxurious hotels throughout the Med that offer great childcare options, so your whole family can enjoy a fabulous holiday.

Luxury, fully catered villasOur villa guests in Mallorca and Portugal will find handpicked luxurious properties, from sprawling country houses close to the beach, to rustic farmhouses nestled amongst rolling hills. All are beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable, with stunning private pools. Your Scott Dunn villa comes complete with a chef, fully qualified nanny/activity specialist and at larger villas, a host.

Resorts with children’s clubsIf you prefer the options a resort has to offer, we have handpicked the best of our family properties with either an exclusive Scott Dunn children’s club or those with a recommended children’s club. Across Europe from Portugal to Cyprus, these fabulous properties will ensure that both you and your children will have an exceptional holiday.

With villas dotted across the north of Mallorca and on Portugal’s western coast, our luxury villas are a unique ‘home from home’ experience. Fully staffed, your villa comes with a personal chef, nanny/activity specialist and all have the luxury of a gorgeous private pool.

Eat Al fresco breakfast in the morning sun, freshly prepared lunch in the shade and delicious gourmet dining after sunset. Your chef will create a bespoke menu for your family and your attentive host will take care of everything else

Play Each villa has a playroom full of toys and games as well as all the essential baby equipment. A UK-qualified private nanny will make sure your little ones have a fabulous time or, for older children, an activity specialist can keep them entertained

Relax With a family to take care of, you might have forgotten what it’s like to really have the pressure taken off. Here, you don’t have to lift a finger. Pick up a book and soak up the sun. Find out more about each villa at www.scottdunn.com/mediterranean-villas/
