How to have the best holidays with teenagers

Baby Club Med keeps babies from 4–23 months safe and engaged under the watchful eye of caring, trained professionals. The tiniest member of the family benefits from special attention, indoor and outdoor playtime and naptime. The baby room, open 24-hours, includes sterilisers, blenders and bottle-warmers for convenience.

Nikki Hills, publisher of the popular Mouths of Mums parenting site , recounts her memorable family holiday at Club Med Bali with her husband and three children, Toby (14), Emma (11), and Abby (9):

From theme nights, to excursions and activities, there's always so much on offer at Club Med. We ate breakfast together every morning and then the children were off to Kids Club , ready for a soccer tournament, golf lessons, tennis or "dance spectacular' rehearsals. Toby loved Juniors Club Med, which is a "hang out' area for teenagers, with lounges, pool tables and X-Box machines, right by the pool and bar so they could order as many soft drinks as they like!

My husband and I spent blissful mornings running along Nusa Dua, or relaxing by the Zen pool. Mid-morning, we would grab a barista-made coffee and sit by the huge trapeze to watch the girls show off their new tricks. The G.Os are so engaged with the children and we felt safe knowing they had the wellbeing of our family at heart. Toby was free to hang out with his new mates, and we knew he was safe in the Resort. Club Med is like a break from life! No one has to worry about what's for dinner or how much things cost. I don't think my kids have ever seen me so relaxed. It was a week of total freedom – mind, body and spirit.
