As families return to planning great getaways, hotels and resorts respond with programs designed to accommodate guests of all ages. Here are five destinations to consider.

The Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire, Scotland

Introduce your family to the glory of the Scottish countryside during a stay at this legendary hotel, spa, and golf destination. Your youngsters can be engaged in a fully supervised program where curious minds will participate in nature art, pond dipping, leaf identification, bug hunting, tree climbing, and zip-lining. Then you can gather for fly fishing, bike riding, lawn games, hiking, off-road cruising, afternoon tea, or a round on the resort’s world-famous links. A “playground planner” is available to assist families in crafting a picture-perfect holiday on the 850-acre estate. At day’s end, you’ll sleep well in luxurious accommodations designed to provide families the space, amenities, and comforts required for a memorable holiday.

The Charleston Place, Charleston, South Carolina

Visit this historic city to snag some beach or spa time; shop; stroll through the City Market, antique stores, and art galleries; and steep the family in the Lowcountry’s rich history and traditions. Learn about local fishing lore from a native Charlestonian while learning the delicate art of throwing a cast net. Later, reap the benefits of your newfound skills. After collecting crab, shrimp, and a variety of fish, return to this landmark independent hotel, where the chef will prepare your fresh catch.
