The Ultimate Luxury Family-Friendly Holiday Checklist


Planning a family holiday can feel like juggling a thousand priorities at once. You want the right mix of relaxation, comfort, adventure and just enough luxury to make it feel special. At Beekman Holiday Resorts, we know that a great family getaway isn’t only about where you go, but how it makes you feel. With elegant accommodation, world-class facilities and experiences that blend fun with sophistication, Beekman Holiday Resorts redefine what a luxury family holiday can be.

Comfort for Every Family: Accommodation for All

When you stay at a Beekman Holiday resort, you get exactly what you need for a luxury family escape. Luxury villas, chalets and units give everyone a high-end holiday feel while simultaneously helping you feel at home. Cots are available on request, and units clearly show how many adults and children they can accommodate, making planning effortless.

Spacious Self-Catering Accommodation

From fully fitted and spacious kitchens to semi self-catering in our villas and chalets, every space is designed for comfort and convenience to offer your luxury ‘home away from home’ experience. Our semi self-catering units have kitchenettes, fridges, microwaves and essential appliances so you can prepare meals whenever you like. If you are in the mood for a holiday without the hassle of cooking, we have options for you, too, with our luxury suites for those who prefer not to cook on holiday. These suites do have a tea and coffee station for your convenience.

Keeping Everyone Entertained & Engaged

When you choose Beekman Holidays, you don’t have to compromise. At Beekman Holidays resorts, kids can splash, climb, explore and participate in planned activities and kid-friendly facilities, and parents can relax, explore and enjoy resort-style living.

Pools, Slides and Oceanside Bliss

Cool off in sparkling pools, waterslides, or splash zones. The Kingdom Resort offers Splash Kingdom for family-friendly waterpark fun. Slide into the holiday fun with Hazyview Cabanas slides and Dikhololo’s supertubes. Cayley Beach Club brings a floating waterpark to life, and San Martinho Beach Club delivers 13km of lagoon-side adventure for sandcastle building, paddling and watersports. Resorts with dams offer safe water fun for all ages.

Outdoor Fun and Leap Adventures

Explore multi-courts, hiking trails, cycling paths, trampolines, jungle gyms, and playgrounds. For thrill-seekers, Leap Adventures offers archery, paintball, quad biking and obstacle courses at select resorts like Hazyview Cabanas and Cayley Mountain Resort, creating shared adventures for the whole family. You can also find Leap Adventures at other resorts like The Kingdom Resort, Dikhololo and Kiara Lodge, each with its own selection of activities.

Rare Game and Wildlife Experiences

Get closer to nature with guided game drives at Waterberg Game Park with the Rare Game Experience, also available at The Kingdom Resort, where little ones meet rare and friendly species in a safe, educational environment. At Dikhololo, harmless wildlife roams freely, adding a touch of safari magic to your stay.

Game Rooms, Teen Zones and Max’s Fun Club

Indoor fun includes arcade games, board games, teen lounges and chill zones. Max’s Fun Club offers supervised activities for children with our trained Fun Fanatics, keeping them entertained in a safe and educational environment while you explore and relax.

Body Bliss Day Spa: Relaxation for All

For adults, Body Bliss Day Spa offers indulgent treatments by our trained beauty therapists. For little ones, they can enjoy a Junior Bliss treatment along with you, which allows them to have their very own spa experiences, making every day of your holiday feel extra special.

Dining Decisions Made Easy: Family-Friendly Flavours

When you’re in the mood for a dining experience or after a long day of adventures, it’s easy to enjoy the on-site restaurants at most resorts. Treat your family to a little luxury outing without the effort of cooking.
