ultimate family travel blog for non-stop inspiration

For a special birthday weekend, our group of two families—each with little ones under two—ventured to Geislerhof Farm Resort in Gerlos, Zillertal. The birthday girl wished for a cozy mountain retreat with a fireplace, and this high-end yet charming chalet resort delivered just that. With breathtaking views of a Toblerone-shaped mountain and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, our first impression was one of small-scale luxury and family-friendly comfort.

Last September, I spent a sunny week with my family of four at the Iberostar Albufera Park in Mallorca. I was initially sold on the resort after @mamadoeseurope raved about her stay with her two boys on Instagram. Known for its family-friendly amenities and beautiful beachfront location, the resort has tons to offer, especially in comparison with other options on the island. I will admit that upfront my resort-hesitant husband took some convincing to try out the Mallorca resort life, but fortunately the Iberostar Selection Albufera Park even managed to turn its biggest skeptic into a fan.
