Revealed: The 10 Best Countries For Family Holidays

A recent study by Deluxe Holiday Homes evaluated 40 of the world’s safest countries using a composite scoring system based on five weighted metrics: safety index, number of family accommodations (from Booking.com), average cost of family accommodation, restaurant costs for four and total family-friendly activities.

Final scores were scaled to 100 points to determine the best destinations for safe, affordable family travel.

Japan ranks first among the safest and most affordable destinations for family travel, earning top marks for its safety, infrastructure and recreational value. The country also has the highest number of family accommodation options and family-friendly activities.

China places second and scores 85.2 due to its affordability in daily expenses. A family of four can dine out for just €9.68 (approx. $17) total, the lowest among the countries analysed.

Accommodations are also relatively affordable at €123.57 (approx. $216) per night for a family room. Its high safety and access to kid-friendly activities ensure a broad and economical travel experience for families.

Poland places third with a score of 84.9 and leads all destinations in family rooms availability, offering 4,467 hotel options. Prices remain manageable at €141.80 (approx. $248) per night and families can enjoy many family attractions across the country.

 “Families planning international travel are no longer just chasing the lowest prices, they’re looking for destinations that feel easy, safe and enriching all at once,” said a spokesperson for Deluxe Holiday Homes.

“The most appealing places are those that remove stress from the equation, offering a mix of affordability, infrastructure and peace of mind. That balance is becoming the new standard for what defines a family-friendly destination.”
