Ikos Dassia, Corfu

Part of the family-friendly Ikos Resorts, which consistently feature among the best family hotels in Europe and even the world in the TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice awards, Ikos Dassia blends the best of Med style with top-class Greek service. Throw in amazing cuisine, brilliant childcare and an activity programme to get all the family up and about (with some water sports included), and you have the perfect luxury family holiday.

The childcare and football academy are operated by a British-based company and include a beachside service if you want a quiet dip in the sea or a spa treatment. The childcare programme caters for ages four months through to teens, so no matter the age of your kids there is plenty for them to get involved in, including their own pools to cool off in.

You have a choice of seven à la carte restaurants, ranging from Greek to Asian. And if getting out to enjoy the traditional Greek tavernas and other local eateries is something you enjoy, there's also a Dine Out option.

When it comes to putting your head down for the night, there is plenty of choice, with options sleeping up to seven (ideal for multigenerational family holidays), some with private pool and a beachfront setting.
