Finding the perfect destination for your family to celebrate a milestone birthday is key to its success. Choosing somewhere that will make everyone happy and relaxed and provide the right entertainment isn’t always the easiest task. We offer inspiration for 21st, 30th and 50th milestone birthday holiday destinations in 2019 and beyond.
Family holiday destinations for a birthday Celebration
1. Edinburgh
Edinburgh is an ideal location for a birthday celebration. It boasts activities and entertainment for all ages, is bursting at the seams with fantastic live music and nightclubs, is easy to get around by bus, train and tram and has a fabulous range of accommodation to suit all budgets. Did we also mention it’s utterly gorgeous to look at?
Don’t miss out on the amazing views from the Castle, and if you’re feeling energetic, Arthur’s Seat is a wonderful hike and just a short walk from the city. Fringe or no Fringe, there’s always something special happening in this historic city.

2. Munich
If you’re looking for a milestone holiday that combines beautiful architecture, fine culture and eclectic nightlife, Munich is an excellent choice. If the timing’s right, head for Oktoberfest or the Christmas markets. Otherwise, spend your days exploring the city’s historic sights on foot, or by bicycle, the evenings sampling delicious local food and the nights getting joyously lost in the world-famous beer halls. For a bit of well-deserved downtime, head to one of Munich’s amazing parks, fantastic green spaces without having to leave the city.

3. Bath
You’re unlikely to visit a more beautiful city than Bath. Wandering around its evocative Georgian streets and delightful markets is a truly lovely way to spend your 30th birthday. And when you’re tired of exploring, there’s a plentiful array of restaurants and enticing bars to choose from, many serving delicious local produce including award-winning cheeses and ales. Make sure you visit Britain’s only natural spa, the Thermae Spa, where you can enjoy a rooftop jacuzzi overlooking glorious Somerset vistas.

Within an hour’s drive from Palma you can be hiking through mountains and exploring sublime, deserted coves. Or you can simply soak up the rays and enjoy a fabulous local wine.
