Hello friends, can anyone give me advice for a package family holiday to SE Asia or the South Pacific, something like Bali, Vietnam, Fiji, Vanuatu, etc.
I have done a lot of independent backpacking 20yrs ago but now I have kids aged 7 and 9 and would be happy to drop them in a kid's club and chill beside the pool. Would be nice if all inclusive but not essential.
Do good deals pop up for things like this?
Cheers.
Luxury escapes have good packages which usually includes some or all your meals
I hear there are great deals on Air India
You’ll have a blast in all SEA countries. Each one are sumptuous feasts for the senses and offer something different. It will depend on budget, taste and interest. Pick any and you’ll be happy.
Aussie families have been holidaying there in droves for decades. It's not Gaza. Pick one, research it and then go. No one place offers any more benefits than the other. Enjoy the memories.
We have just booked a river cruise with Holiday Max. We are going to Vietnam and Cambodia for 14 days, everything is included in the price. They are worth checking out, they have lots of holidays.
Pretty much every resort in Fiji (especially) or Bali (eg in the Nusa Dua area) meets these requirements. Fiji resorts often have fully inclusive package deals, just pick your price point
Jetstar has sales on holiday packages sometimes. But youre pretty much locked into one resort for the whole time e.g. a phuket trip.
Im not aware of any that have an extensive itinerary and also have sales.
I would arrange it all manually if you're going to more than one place, the sales are still always going to cost more than fights + accom cost.
SE Asia is very easy to catch a bus or flight to another city, and accommodation is of course on every site like booking dotcom.
I have my suspicions that any cheap holiday package is just to fill up rooms they can't otherwise sell.
Thanks all for responses
Can anyone recommend where I can find some good deals? This being ozbargain…. ;)
Don’t want anything too complicated, will stay in the one resort for 8 or so days. Needs to have a good kids club for a 9yo and a few things for Mum and Dad to do but not looking for a super cultural experience. Just want something relaxing and affordable. All inclusive food/drinks would be nice otherwise want them to be affordable if we pay individually. And be nice if flights/transfers incl but we can otherwise sort ourselves.
Depends on budget.
Obviously cruises are an option.
Vanuatu is fantastic for renting a house and chilling. But there's resorts with set and forget kids clubs and kids stay free etc
