Top family holiday destinations in Asia

Asia with Kids: A family travel guide

Asia is so welcoming for families, with warm people and warmer climates. A choice of flavourful cuisines, embraced by Australian families, is matched only by its variety of holiday venues. Families can enjoy Asia’s soft sandy beaches, lush jungles and charming villages, as well as bustling cities like Bangkok, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Tokyo and Osaka.

Resorts here offer myriad activities on and off the water, wonderful kids’ clubs and swimming pools to laze by. And then there’s everything beyond the resort gates!

Thrilling theme parks across Asia

For thrills on a grand scale, Asia’s theme parks are amazing. Tokyo Disney Resort and Hong Kong Disneyland are universally adored. In Bali, the Waterbom water park will keep the whole family entertained and Malaysia’s incredible theme parks are also perfect for a family day out.

Beautiful beaches from Bali to Penang

For a gentler pace, your family will love Asia’s bounty of beautiful beaches, from the white beaches of Malaysia’s Penang and Langkawi to the crystal clear waters of Thailand’s Phuket, Hua Hin and Samui. Then there’s Bali’s popular surfing sensations, from the reefs at Kuta to the Mecca that is Uluwatu and the fun waves of Canggu and Keramas.

Exciting animal encounters for kids

Another thrill for kids visiting Asia is its wealth of exotic animals. There are orang-utans in Borneo, cheeky monkeys in Bali and Brunei, plus tigers and elephants in Thailand. If visiting the jungle is too hard, spend a few hours at Singapore’s zoos and wildlife sanctuaries or Kuala Lumpur’s Bird Park.
