Laos
Family Holidays

Whether you’re travelling with youngsters or journeying with an older brood, you can be sure that Laos family holidays will provide as much enjoyment for parents as they will for children. Whatever your age, you’ll soon find yourself captivated by the simplistic charm of this southeast Asian haven. From the whimsical French inspired architecture, found throughout Luang Prabang’s mythical cityscape, to the untamed wilderness of the southern region, there’s something for everyone here.

A Visit to Vientiane

This capital maybe small but it’s certainly mighty. Laos’ slower pace of life grapples with the quick moving city and tuk-tuks that weave their way through the narrowed streets. There’re decadent French colonial buildings (sitting proudly alongside modern architectural feats), visits to Patuxai Victory Monument and trips to scared temples, like Ho Phra Kaew and Wat Si Saket. The old marries the new effortlessly here and families can marvel at the casual magic of sunrise and sunset walks along the riverside, friendly-faced locals and plenty of dining options for all palates.

Cave Exploring in Vang Vieng

Adventurers of all ages rejoice as the caves of Vang Vieng await exploration, providing those willing to delve into the country’s depths with a spectacular karst limestone backdrop and elaborate maze of cave systems. While the Kong Lor cave might not be the most expansive, its pool - coined ‘hidden Eden’ - certainly rivals most. With access only granted by boat passage through one cave into the next, this paradise spot is perfect for climbing, boating and water wading.
