Family
In every family, preferences are bound to differ. During school holidays and reunions, travel becomes a time shared between generations and curiosity rediscovered, making Raffles the definitive choice for family reunions. These journeys unfold naturally at Raffles, between storied streets and immersive resort stays, where every destination invites families to reconnect and savour the moment.
London is a premier destination for luxury family holidays, especially when the hotel makes every detail feel effortless. At Raffles London at The OWO, a day spent between museums and walks through nearby St James’s Park often ends on a quieter note. Inter-connecting rooms and thoughtful details for younger guests give family stays a rare sense of ease. Then come the details children remember most: treasure hunts, tipi tents, popcorn at movie time, and in selected suites, a Mini Butler experience. Add a Secrets & Spies afternoon tea, a bespoke picnic and the reassurance of babysitting and crèche services, and the whole stay feels both elegant and genuinely family-minded.
In the heart of Makati, Raffles Makati offers an all-suite address specifically designed for those seeking time away together with a local soul. In the heart of Makati, Raffles Makati offers families an all-suite address. Days unfold around the city’s cultural life, an outing to Manila Ocean Park, then a return to the ease of generous suites, the pool, and the quiet reassurance of Raffles Butler Service. There is pleasure in the rhythm of it all. Meals at Mirèio or Spectrum invite families to linger a little longer, and for larger gatherings, the hotel’s two-suite celebration offer makes shared travel feel especially seamless.
Cities can surprise families with moments of celebration, and during Diwali in Singapore, streets fill with colour, light and music after dusk. Staying at Raffles Singapore means exploring that same city from a landmark address, notably through its insider’s Singapore guide. A morning at the Singapore Art Museum or among the streets of Chinatown, before the family gathers again at the hotel. At yì by Jereme Leung, the regional cuisines of China offer one expression of the city’s cultural depth, while Raffles Courtyard brings Southeast Asian flavours to the table in the open air. For families, it is a gentle way for the day’s discoveries to linger into the evening.
Days unfold slowly between the forested hills and the Indian Ocean in resorts. At Raffles Seychelles, children disappear happily into the Sugar Palm Kids Club, where mornings might mean nature walks or cooking classes, and afternoons bring encounters with the resort’s giant tortoises, beach games or movie nights under the stars. With younger guests absorbed in their own adventures, parents have time to slip away for a dive or a quiet massage before everyone meets again for dinner.
Further across Asia, Raffles Hainan Clear Water Bay reveals space for families in every sense. Space to breathe, certainly, but also space to settle into the day as it comes. Suites and villas open onto views of the bay, while the coast sets an easy rhythm between beach time, water sports and long pauses by the pool. Meals become part of the experience too, whether over regional Chinese flavours at Bai Wei, ocean-facing comfort food at Desa, Italian dishes at Sapori, or afternoon tea at Clear Water Bay Lounge.
In winter, Dubai becomes an easy escape for families seeking sun and open space. Blue skies, calm seas and warm afternoons draw life outdoors, whether along the shoreline or through the gardens of Palm Jumeirah. It is here that Raffles The Palm Dubai offers its own take on seaside living. Children move easily between the beach, the pool and The Young Voyager Kids Club. Parents can linger over lunch, retreat to the spa or simply enjoy the quiet pleasure of the sea.
Long after the journey ends, those memories remain. Because Raffles imagines a luxury designed for all generations, from cultural city breaks to immersive resort stays.
