Perfect Family Holidays
We've been creating holidays for a very long time. At Direct Holidays Ireland we understand the different things that different families expect from a holiday. And of course all children are different too! That's why we've created a number of holiday concepts that offer something to suit every type of child and every type of family. As we all know only too well, when the kids are happy, so too are the parents!
If you are the family that heads for the nearest waterpark during your holiday, our fantastic Aquamania properties offer you and your family the thrill of slides and chutes, pirate boats and activity pools, and the difference is that you don't have to leave your hotel! Best of all, you won't even need your wallet because use of these facilities is free throughout your stay.
Or are your children the ones that spend Saturday mornings on their local sports pitch or drama centre and amaze even you with their energy or their love of entertaining. Offering soccer schools to swim lessons, dance coaching and lots more, Sunstar resorts should be top of your list.
FamilyWORLD offers a great selection of 4-star resorts in a family-friendly environment, crammed with things to do. Join FamilyWORLD'S fun packed programme hosted by our own dedicated team for a wealth of outdoor sports, fun activities, quizzes and games designed to bring the whole family together.
Kids' Clubs keep your little ones (aged 3-11) entertained every day and for several evenings too. With clubs and activities that give you a few hours to relax and ensure endless fun for the children, properties that offer Kids Clubs are the perfect choice for many Irish families. Many of these properties also offer extras such as soccer classes, swim lessons or dance coaching.
