The Best Holidays for Teenagers

If you’re planning a holiday with teenagers in tow, you probably already know it can be tricky to say the least! 

They’re often the hardest to please, and it might not be as easy to persuade them to spend time as a family as it used to be. But fear not – we have the perfect holidays for teenagers lined up for you and your family to enjoy a brilliant getaway together. 

Take a look at these holidays tailored for teens below – before you know it, your youngsters will be giving you ‘legendary’ status for taking them on the holiday of a lifetime! 

Hurghada, Egypt

If you’re looking for a holiday that’s going to ensure plenty of sunshine for you as well as plenty to do for the kids, look no further than a holiday to Hurghada

This fascinating country will intrigue anyone of any age, thanks to its unique history and captivating culture. The whole family can enjoy exciting excursions from camel rides to desert dune buggy experiences, and they certainly won’t have time to be glued to their phone – in fact, the only time it will be out will be to capture these moments on camera! 

Hurghada is also a hotspot for watersports, so take yourself off down to any one of the beautiful beaches on offer and see your teens have the time of their lives paragliding or screaming with glee on a bouncy banana boat. The snorkelling here is suburb too!

Teenage girls in particular will love the superb shopping opportunities Huragada offers – think store after store filled with shiny bags and endless amounts of clothes and shoes on display! Best of all – you can usually barter and grab a bargain. Win-win!

When it comes to deciding on a hotel, the TUI MAGIC LIFE Kalawy is a great choice for families with teenagers – it boasts multiple pools and even its own waterslides. 

Plus it’s got an activity list as big as the Sahara! If your teens are usually attached to their phones, MAGIC LIFE hotels are a great way to bring them back to reality. 

There’s even a MAGIC Teens Club, offering a range of sports and activities especially for 13 to 16 year-olds – from dance classes to bike tours and even archery, there’s all sorts to keep them occupied (and away from a screen).

Orlando, Florida

If you want to pull out the big guns to impress your teens, then there’s only one thing for it – say hello to the sunshine state of fantastic Florida and awesome Orlando.

Families are spoiled for choice with things to do in this part of the US. The theme parks and waterparks here aren’t just your average rollercoasters – they’re mind blowing experiences.

Your teens might often think they’re adults already, but nowhere else on earth brings out the child in people like Disney World Resort, Florida. 

Feel the waves of nostalgia as the kids (and let’s face it, you!) meet your childhood heroes, from Disney princesses like Cinderella and Belle to Pixar favourites like Buzz and Woody.

Embark on adventures together in the land of Star Wars, or explore whole new worlds like Pandora when you visit the world of Avatar.  

If your kids love their movies, then they’ll be left utterly amazed from their visit to Universal Studios Resort. Have the time of your lives together on rides like The Mummy, Transformers, The Simpsons and even E.T. 

For any big water babies in the family, a day at Univeral’s Volcano Bay is a must, too. This waterpark is centered around a giant volcano that seemingly erupts every so often, resulting in a wave pool experience like no other!

There’s some pretty crazy slides here too – daredevil teens, eat your heart out! Plus, a stay in Universal’s Cabana Bay next door will even give you easy access and early entry.

Teenagers might act hard to impress at this age, but there’s no way they can deny how awesome a break to this brilliant place is. 

Turkey

Another holiday with swathes of sunshine for you but plenty to keep kids occupied is a getaway to toasty Turkey.

And more specifically, a stay near the Land of Legends theme and water park! It’s the biggest theme park in all of Turkey, and is jam-packed with adrenaline-pumping activities. 

Teens will love joining you on the Typhoon Coaster, where the whole family will blast along the tracks at nearly 60mph! And they’re sure to love the 5D Theme Park – an impressive cinema experience with over 12 special effects! 

We’d recommend staying at The Land of Legends Kingdom Hotel – as you’ll get free access to both the theme park and waterpark for your whole stay! That gives you plenty of time to discover your favourite rides and enjoy them again and again during your time in Turkey.

Teenagers often want more independence than on their family holidays as they get older, and a stay in this resort is perfect for just that. They can be trusted to have fun in the theme park or on the waterslides, while you enjoy a bit of chill time by the pool! 

Another amazing hotel you could choose to stay in is the 5* Rixos Sungate in Turkey’s Antalya region. The family facilities at this hotel are absolutely second to none! 

Teens can visit the Rixy Club, where they can get stuck into all kinds of fun activities. Not just the usual kids club kind either – we’re talking coding robots, baking classes, and even starting their own band! 

There’s a huge onsite splash park for them to cool down in too, and not only that, but staying here ALSO gives you free access to The Land of Legends parks! 

Add all of this to an exciting excursion delving into Turkey’s captivating culture, and you’ve got a superb escape on your hands! 

We think teens would love Antalya Family Adventure Experience in Aladdin’s Canyon, or a lazy day cruise stopping off at scenic islands to snorkel. You’re not short on amazing experiences in Turkey!

As the kids get older it’s more important than ever to make as many memories together while you can. Hopefully you’ve gained some amazing inspiration for your next family getaway – we’re sure any teens will give all of these the thumbs up!
