Sadly there’s not enough space for kids in its clear-topped bubble tents, so appease them with a room that comes with an outside tub that resembles a gigantic bird bath, or one of the cubes with floor-to-ceiling views across the landscape.
From £274 per night, room only, based on two adults and a child sharing a cube room, with Welcome Beyond (welcomebeyond.com).
For Catalan coves and countryside
Barcelona residents can escape to the little bays of the Empordà region in summer, driving for an hour and a half to reach whitewashed fishing villages such as Tamariu and Llafranc and sunny beaches including Aigua Blava and Sa Riera.
Around 20 minutes inland from it all, the sleepy village of Regencós is home to an old rectory that’s been converted into four apartments, which work well as a base for exploring the area. There’s a pretty pink pool too, or head to the coast to clamber between the coves on cliffside paths.
From £1,450 per week, self-catered, in the summer holidays (rectoriaderegencos.com).
For going under
Shared interests are hard to come by in the teenage years, but diving should prove a hit with water not-so-babies. Dive Worldwide recommends Lanzarote as a great place for those aged 10 plus to get acquainted with the world beneath the waves.
On its Lanzarote Dive Experience, families can explore volcanic reefs, caverns and the haunting Museo Atlántico – where seaweed-cloaked statues walk the ocean floor of Europe’s only underwater museum.
From £1,595 per person per week, all inclusive, with flights (diveworldwide.com).
For time in the saddle
Original Travel’s family itineraries aren’t cheap, but the company’s attention to detail makes them good for blow-out special occasions. Its five-day horse-riding trip to Andalusia involves a morning ride through fields and pine copses to a private lunch spot.
Private tours are also on offer through the secret alleys of Seville (visiting some of its best tapas bars) and wanders through the region’s pueblos blancos.
