How to Plan a Multi-Generational Luxury Vacation Everyone Will Love
Getting three generations to agree on a vacation is an art form. Here's how Marquis Vacations designs multi-generational trips that genuinely work — for grandparents, parents, and children alike.
Multi-generational travel is one of the most meaningful things a family can do together — and one of the most logistically complex. Getting grandparents, parents, and children to agree on a destination, a pace, and a set of activities that genuinely works for everyone requires a level of planning that goes well beyond a typical vacation.
Start with the Right Destination
The ideal destination offers accessibility for older travelers, activity variety across age ranges, and accommodation flexibility. Our top multi-generational destinations include the Caribbean, Italy, and the Maldives for families where the shared experience of extraordinary natural beauty is the priority.
The Accommodation Question
For multi-generational travel, we almost always recommend a private villa or a resort with villa-style accommodations. A private villa gives the family a shared living space — a kitchen, a living room, a pool — that becomes the heart of the trip. Everyone has their own room, but the family is together.
The Gift of Time Together
The most important thing we've learned from years of planning multi-generational travel is this: the destination matters less than the time together. Families who travel together build a shared vocabulary of experiences that last a lifetime. Our job is to create the conditions for those moments to happen.
