Why We Stayed in the Same Place Every Year — and Why We’re Finally Ready to Explore More
For the past four years, we’ve stayed at the beautiful Aguas de Ibiza. It became our home away from home — the place we could rely on, return to, and completely relax in as a family.
When the kids were younger, comfort was everything.
Predictability mattered.
Familiarity made life easier.
And honestly? We loved it.
Comfort Was Exactly What We Needed
Travelling with young children is a different kind of adventure, isn’t it?
You’re not just thinking about:
-
Where you want to go
-
What you want to do
-
What excursions look exciting
You’re thinking about:
-
Are the kids comfortable?
-
Will they sleep well?
-
Will they eat the food?
-
Is the hotel family-friendly?
-
Is the routine easy to follow?
Aguas de Ibiza gave us all of that.
We knew:
✔ The rooms were perfect for families
✔ The food suited both kids and adults
✔ The pools were safe
✔ The staff were incredible
✔ The whole experience was smooth and stress-free
When you find somewhere that works, you don’t question it — you keep going back.
Familiarity Helped the Kids Thrive
For children, familiarity creates comfort.
Knowing where breakfast is.
Knowing which pool is their favourite.
Knowing the little shortcuts around the hotel.
Knowing their way around the beach or marina.
Returning each year made holidays:
-
Easier
-
Happier
-
More relaxed
-
And far less overwhelming
When they were younger, this stability helped them settle immediately, meaning we all enjoyed the trip from the moment we arrived.
No stress.
No “getting used to things.”
Just instant holiday mode.
But Now The Kids Are Older… Everything Has Changed
As children grow, their confidence grows with them.
They’re:
-
More adventurous
-
More adaptable
-
More curious
-
More excited to try new places
-
More capable of different activities and new experiences
And we started to feel it too — this little pull toward something new.
We realised that while we adore Aguas de Ibiza (and always will), there is so much more of the world waiting for us.
Different cultures.
New landscapes.
Cities we’ve never explored.
Beaches we’ve never walked on.
Hidden gems we haven’t discovered yet.
And that’s the beauty of where we are as a family now.
The kids aren’t just “coming along” anymore — they’re part of the adventure.
A Travel Business That Opened Up New Possibilities
One of the biggest benefits of starting my travel business has been the ability to explore more, while still returning to the places we love.
Through discounted travel rates and the flexibility to travel more often, we’re now able to look beyond our usual go-to destinations without the overwhelm or expense.
We’re excited to:
-
Try new hotels
-
Visit new countries
-
Add new traditions
-
Create new family memories
All while knowing we can still return to Aguas de Ibiza whenever we want — because it will always be special to us.
Aguas Will Always Be a Chapter We Treasure
It’s the hotel that saw the kids grow through their early years.
It’s where we found comfort, routine, and joy as a young family.
It’s where we made some of our favourite holiday memories.
But now?
We’re ready for the next chapter.
Not replacing the old — just adding to it.
Exploring further.
Travelling wider.
Trying new places, new cultures, new experiences.
Because the world is big.
And as a family, we’re finally ready to see more of it.
If You’re Feeling Stuck in the Same Holiday Routine… You’re Not Alone
Many families repeat the same destination for years — and that’s okay. There’s comfort in familiarity.
But when the kids grow and life changes, it’s natural to want more.
If you want to explore new places, or if you’re curious about how a travel business could help you travel more often while saving money, I’d love to share how it works.
