Activities That Can Bring The Whole Family Together During Your Villa Vacation

Family vacations can be a great opportunity to create special memories and discover great experiences that bring everyone together. Relationships are strengthened, ties are knit tighter, and inner happiness blooms.


Feeling good and sharing unforgettable moments with your family is a great way to connect. In the right environment, child-parent bonds become tighter as couples realize they're getting closer.

Whether it's a trip to beautiful Kalkan or a wonderful Bodrum trip to idyllic resorts, family vacations can be stressful when everyone wants to do something different. A private villa rental is a perfect holiday option for families who want to get together in their private space and spend quality time together.


Besides being an ideal setting for families of all ages, renting your own vacation home also gives you privacy and the flexibility to enjoy alone time. To inspire you for your next vacation, we've compiled some activities you can do in a private villa that is guaranteed to bring the family closer…

Great Family Activities You Can Do On Your Villa Vacation!

Exploring Personal Time…

This article may sound like a suggestion that contradicts the title. But often, being comfortable with your own business in a particular area can also make you feel closer to other family members who are doing what they want. Your very own private holiday villa is truly a home away from home and one of its biggest advantages is being able to relax in your own relaxed and calm atmosphere.


While one person is reading, another family member takes a dip in the villa's infinity pool, another prepares delicious snacks, and a fourth member of the family may be exercising in the villa's fitness room. When everyone is very close to each other within the villa concept, there is a sense of balance and commitment where each person is satisfied with what they are doing and as a result, feels closer to their loved ones.


Enjoy Family Meals

Eating is a special pastime for families who enjoy sitting together at a table and sharing love, laughter, and good times. In a private villa, our guests usually dine outdoors at a large family dining table, close to the kitchen, where they can cook and chat at the same time.


Outdoor dining in resorts like Kalkan, Bodrum, and Fethiye on sunny days and warm nights is incredible. There are few things in this life as magical as a family dinner by the pool watching the magnificent view embracing the deep blue sea from your private villa…


Enjoy a Special Night

One of the best things you can do as a family while staying in your very own holiday villa is to enjoy the whole star-studded night. It means 'forced' activities in a hotel or hostel, usually in the evening. The remedy is to go out to avoid feeling restless… This is not the case in a holiday home where you can dine comfortably at home, create your fun family party with your musical taste, or watch a movie in your private cinema with popcorn and a cozy blanket.


After a full day of sun and sea, it's nice to have plenty of space to relax, watch TV, chat over your dinner in the open-plan lounge-kitchen axis, and have plenty of space to walk around. Villa rentals are an experience, so why not wake up for at least a few nights of your vacation and enjoy all the amenities offered while bonding as a family?


Play Games


When was the last time you let your inner child play? Kids love to see adults break the rules and enjoy pure, unadulterated fun. Located in a private villa, the games room can be a focal point for families. All you need is a fun table or pool.


Bringing the spirit of friendly competition to the fore, working as a team, and being able to make fun of each other creates the sense of meaninglessness that every family needs. Forgetting your routine in family dynamics and connecting with a shared activity can be a truly positive bonding experience.


Embrace Life in the Outdoors

In-villa rental concepts, the bright and airy interiors seamlessly extend into the large private exteriors. You can imagine lush green lawns, infinity pools with jacuzzis and sofas, dining tables as well as barbecue areas, sofas, and lounge-style seating.


Various activities in your private villa create an outdoor living space with an atmosphere that changes throughout the day and into the evening. Children playing in the pool can be more easily watched by adults lounging and sunbathing by the pool.


Meanwhile, the grandparents and young children accompanying your holiday can join in the fun more freely knowing that whenever they want to relax, they can seize the cool indoor area for a short siesta.


Be Creative

Being in a luxuriously comfortable environment triggers more focused and at the same time more free thinking. This creates free time for creative ideas and activities to emerge.


You might enjoy doing some meditation together, maybe painting or focusing on a craft you can use your hands on.


Trying out activities you've never done before can also be a great way to balance the age gap. Another idea that can work wonders in bringing everyone together harmoniously is to let each member of the family take the lead with an activity of their choice.

Be Active

Working out in your private gym can be a great way to start the day full of energy for the whole family. A refreshing swim at sunrise before breakfast in your private villa also sets everyone in the mood for the whole day ahead.


The wonderful thing about staying in a villa is this sense of flexibility, where even a simple activity like a morning swim turns into a family ritual with no one else around.


Some holiday villa guests like to organize a private, poolside yoga session. Villas close to the sea are also very suitable for exploring the blue waters and taking a canoe ride.


Now all you have to do is choose a gorgeous rental villa that fits perfectly with your family's personality, individual style, and interests!
