| Whether by the sea, in the mountains, or in the city, a mindful family vacation creates special memories and instills lasting values. Rather than focusing on consumerism and constant entertainment, these vacations focus on experiencing nature, mindfulness, and genuine connections. Many sustainable hotels are well-equipped for young (and older) guests, creating an environment that inspires parents and children alike. |

A Retreat and Natural Surroundings instead of Sensory Overload
In our everyday lives, we and our families are constantly bombarded with an overwhelming number of impressions. Loud, bright, and demanding our attention. That’s why one thing is often at the forefront of our minds when we go on vacation — peace and quiet. And there’s no better place to find that than in nature.
The Hygna Chalets in the Tyrolean Alpbachtal Valley offer private chalets that provide individual freedom. They offer relaxation for parents and freedom for children. The car-free complex is surrounded by alpine meadows that invite exploration and adventure. The chalets themselves are comfortably furnished with a fully equipped kitchen, cozy sitting areas, a private sauna, and some with a private outdoor whirlpool. There is also a shared infinity pool in the former hay barn, as well as fitness and yoga rooms. You don’t have to worry about breakfast either, because in the morning, a breakfast box filled with regional products will be waiting for you at your front door. |

Less is More – Making a Conscious Effort to Spend Time Together
Does your vacation have to include entertainment, a kids’ club, and a thousand activities? Or would you rather use the trip as an opportunity to spend quality time together and talk? Stripping things down to the essentials creates space for genuine encounters.
The vegetarian Hotel Korinjak, located directly on the sea, demonstrates how this can be achieved without compromising comfort or amenities. Situated on the small Croatian island of Iž, the hotel deliberately focuses on mindfulness, creativity, and respect for nature. Don’t worry, though; even though there is no Wi-Fi or TV in the rooms, you and your children won’t be bored. Activities like swimming and bathing in the clear waters of the Adriatic Sea, creative workshops, yoga, and boat trips around the island are all part of a vacation on Iž. Who knows? You might even spot dolphins. |

Learning through Experience rather than Explanation
This works particularly well when traveling. Although we always encourage exploring your local area first, we understand if you want to travel the world with your family. One destination on many people’s wish lists is Peru, with its unique culture and nature. In order to protect and preserve these wonders for future generations, everyone needs to be involved: travelers, tour operators, and accommodations.
The founder of Inkaterra Hotels recognized this early on. As a result, not only is each hotel adapted to its surroundings, but the Inkaterra Association is also committed to environmental protection, education, and social sustainability throughout Peru. Whether in the Amazon or the Andes, children (and adults) can learn about biodiversity, different cultures, and the country’s history at Inkaterra.
