Leofoo Resort Guanshi, Taiwan A popular family resort which is truly unique with its African styled, safari-themed guest rooms, equipped with all hotel amenities. The amazing thing about Leofoo Resort is that your kids (and you) can wake up and see giraffes and other animals roaming freely outside your room windows, making for an unforget- table trip! It is also adjacent to Leofoo Village Theme Park where the whole family can have an amazing experience interacting with giraffes, rhinoceros, zebras, ostriches and other animals. Food wise, there are two themed restaurants that use toxin-free ingre- dients and there is an eco-friendly, African-inspired playground, not to mention a whole host of fun DIY activities to keep the kiddies entertained. While mum and dad enjoy the calming spa, let the kids potter around the resort’s small farm and learn about some of the vegetables that are being grown. www.leofooresort.com.tw Soneva Kiri Koh Kood, Thailand Guests stay in luxurious villas with free-form infinity pools, round-the-clock butler service and electric buggies to transport you from the beach to the boutiques and spa. The Den is one of the best kids’ clubs you will find and is located in an amazing bamboo structure shaped like a giant manta ray up in the treetops, with peepholes down to the forest floor and catamaran-style netting underfoot in the library. As far as kiddie entertainment goes, there are music classes with traditional Thai instruments, tie-dye workshops and bracelet-making using recycled paper. There are also quidditch matches in the pool, obstacle courses, cooking lessons and good old-fashioned postcard writing. If that’s not enough to keep them entertained, get the whole family to attend one of the stargazing sessions held out at the observatory or enjoy a classic family film screening at the outdoor cinema, but not before you grab an ice cream at the resort’s very own ice cream parlour. www.soneva.com/soneva-kiri 44 www.playtimes.com.hk
