Falstaff TRAVEL leads you to an unforgettable spring break.

"Naturhotel Forsthofgut", Leogang

Family time is a top priority at the "Naturhotel Forsthofgut". The hotel in Salzburger Land attracts guests with the "miniGUT", a children's farm with petting zoo, and an adventure playground at the edge of the forest with tree houses and watercourse. The "waldSPA Family & Kids" area, built in 2021, with indoor swimming pool, baby and children's pool, water workshop and three different slides invites you to splash around and let off steam.

Another highlight for kids is feeding the wild animals in the hotel's own enclosure. Last but not least, the new day spa offers parents a relaxing break; modern treatments are combined with the calming power of the forest. Here you can beat the spring fatigue and harmonize body and mind. Parents can enjoy the 5,700 square meter "waldSPA" and the cryochamber. An Immune Complex Drink provides the necessary energy boost.

AKI Family Resort

The South Tyrolean family hotel knows how to offer families generous space for lasting memories and at the same time be present with warm hospitality. No aspect is random, the concept has been thought through down to the last detail. In this way, childcare provides a fun and meaningful activity close to nature. The "AKI Kids World" also features a petting zoo and an extensive indoor and outdoor play area. In the water world, you can let off steam and laugh, while adults can enjoy moments of peace and quiet in the adults-only spa, or during yoga. Cozy family suites serve as retreats where baby and children's necessities are available.

"Weissenhaus", Baltic Sea

Wide meadows, old avenues and the Baltic Sea in the immediate vicinity; "Weissenhaus" is a unique place that stands for peace and relaxation close to nature. Since February 2026, the 75-hectare estate has also been open to families. In addition to spacious family suites, the Kükenhaus offers a place for play, creativity and exercise. Children and families can go on their own discovery tours daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m, in the craft and fairytale room and on the adjacent playground. Selected courses and the first child-friendly treatments are also being planned.

In the spa area, particular attention was paid to a balanced concept. During family times from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., children under the age of twelve are welcome in the Schlosstherme if accompanied by an adult. Outside of these times the area is reserved for guests aged twelve and over. The brine forest room with salt herbal sauna, aerosol room and onsen pool is available all day as an adults-only area.

As different as the wishes for the perfect family vacation can be, they are effortlessly reconciled at the "Ulrichshof". While some seek peace and quiet, others long for adventure - all this is possible here without compromise. Children quickly make new friends under the watchful eye of a trained team. During the age-appropriate indoor and outdoor program, they can play, paint and do handicrafts together to their heart's content or even take part in a technology workshop. Adults can enjoy a relaxing break in the parents' spa with sauna, steam bath and treatments. Moments of happiness for the whole family await in the riding stables, in the water world or out in nature.

Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort Hotel, Sagres

In the Costa Vicentina Nature Park, the air smells of salt and wild rosemary whilst seagulls circle over the beach. Soon the days will be long enough for extended family adventures at "Martinhal Sagres".

Directly below the pool area, the private beach hangout with its coconut beds invites you to spend the day between the sea and the resort, while cool drinks and small snacks are served. Surf or stand-up paddle sessions in the sheltered bay are just a few steps away. Those who prefer solid ground under their feet can explore the cliffs on foot or by bike from the hotel's own bike station. In the "Finisterra Spa", parents and children alike will find a retreat among pine trees, rosemary and hibiscus. A tea in the Zen garden, a soothing treatment, a yoga session on the beach or a workout in the modern Technogym - at "Martinhal", a little me-time is also the order of the day on a family vacation.

A vacation with the whole family means more than just relaxing and spending time together - it creates memories that will last forever. The Kendlbacher host family knows how different the needs of individual generations can be - after all, they have four of them themselves. Together, they created a carefully designed resort with offers for all ages: from interacting with small animals at the resort's own organic farm to letting off steam in the water world, riding vacations and fun in the indoor area with slide and ball pool.

Adults will find peace and quiet in the wellness area. The concept, so thoughtfully considered, also includes full board with high-quality, regional cuisine.

Grand Hotel Kronenhof

Families looking for a very special vacation in Switzerland can't go past the "Hotel Kronenhof". The youngest children are lovingly cared for here from the age of three. They laugh, play, do handicrafts and paint together. The weekly program is particularly varied. It is part of the hotel's philosophy to pamper children and adults alike, and also in culinary terms.

The offer is complemented by numerous extras such as rental skates, bouncy castle, free ice cream and hot chocolate, and occasionally a little surprise. The children's water world offers excitement with its slide and play facilities. The magical ambience of the neo-baroque property, which is not by chance one of the best alpine hotels in the world, lies above all.

Modern chalet style, panoramic views, almost 6000 m² of spa and childcare will delight even the most discerning guests.
