FAQs about your luxury family vacation

  • How long do your luxury family vacations last?

    Our luxury family vacations last between three and 13 nights. Each trip is carefully planned to ensure you get the most out of your vacation, regardless of how long you're staying for. If you have any questions or would like to start building your itinerary, get in contact to speak to a member of our team.

  • How much do your luxury family vacations cost?

    Our exclusive family vacations start from $3,700 per person, however, the final price of your trip will depend on your completed itinerary. You can discuss everything with our expert travel specialists, and we'll keep you updated on costs throughout the entire process ahead of booking.

  • When's the best time of year to go on a luxury family vacation?

    This is entirely dependent on where you'd like to go as we offer a wide range of vacations, and climates and peak times vary.

    For instance, if you're looking for a luxury spring break vacation, the Galapagos Islands would be a unique and exciting option – despite it being their rainy season. It may be wet, but you'll see more sun than at any other time of the year and enjoy warmer seas. 

    If you'd prefer to take a trip to visit Santa Claus in Lapland, you'll need to prepare for temperatures that range between 30°F and -40°F. You could also experience up to three feet of snow and may even spot the Northern Lights!

  • How safe are your luxury family activity vacations?

    The safety and security of our guests is incredibly important to us. That's why we work closely with our travel partners overseas and always follow Department of State travel advice.

    If any problems occur while you're on vacation, we advise that you contact the manager of your hotel or get in touch with your travel expert. We aim to resolve all issues at the time of occurrence. For out-of-hours emergencies, please call us at (858) 523-9002.

  • What does the Explorers Kids Club involve?

    We provide kids clubs for children aged four months to +11 years across select luxury family vacation resorts. You can expect safe and fun childcare in our first-class facilities, where we offer fantastic activities and experiences for your little ones.

    If you fancy some time away from the kids while on vacation, you're free to do just that. Take a well-deserved break as we entertain and inspire your children, providing a safe space to play, build friendships and make lasting memories.

    Explore the clubs we have on offer today and rely on our trusted and dedicated teams to deliver exceptional care for your kids – and remember to enjoy the time to yourselves!

  • What can I expect from a luxury family vacation with Scott Dunn?

    Our insider knowledge enables us to open doors to experiences that are exclusive to Scott Dunn, and these simply can't be accessed when planning a luxury family vacation yourself. When you choose us, we'll deliver on what matters most to you.

    Your dedicated travel specialist will plan your trip down to every last detail. Listening to your exact requirements every step of the way. Whether it's admiring the incredible wildlife in Sri Lanka, exploring the rocky coves of Croatia, or experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime safari in South Africa, we'll be with you every step of the way.

  • When's the best time to book a luxury family vacation?

    Our hotels, tours and experiences get booked up very quickly, so we recommend booking your luxury family vacation more than a year in advance to avoid disappointment. Due to the restrictions of the school dates, the half-term and summer vacations are some of our most popular periods. Contact the team today and secure those dates for an exciting family adventure with us.

  • How do I book a luxury family vacation?

    At Scott Dunn, we have everything from luxury beach to ski vacations for families. Whether you've found your perfect trip or are struggling to decide between our long list of options, please don't hesitate to ask a member of the team to help you with your booking.
