As an experienced hospitality consultant, I understand the delicate balance required to create a luxury resort environment that caters to families while still delivering the high-end services and amenities discerning guests expect. In our 15 years in luxury hospitality… At The Landing Resort & Spa, we’ve honed our approach to optimise the family-friendly luxury experience – from thoughtfully designed accommodations and world-class wellness offerings to gourmet dining and engaging activities for all ages.
Luxury Hospitality
Resort Amenities and Accommodations
The cornerstone of any exceptional luxury resort is its accommodations and overall property design. At The Landing, we’ve carefully curated our selection of guest rooms, suites, and private residences to provide the perfect blend of spaciousness, comfort, and elevated style. Family-friendly layouts feature separate sleeping and living areas, allowing parents to enjoy relaxation time while little ones slumber. Flexible bedding configurations, including bunk beds and pull-out sofas, make it easy to accommodate varying group sizes.
Our premium in-room amenities, such as Nespresso coffee machines, private balconies or patios, and deep-soaking tubs, elevate the experience for even the most discerning guests. And to cater to families, we offer dedicated children’s toiletries, board games, and streaming entertainment to keep everyone entertained.
Beyond the guest rooms, our resort grounds are thoughtfully designed to foster a sense of tranquillity and communal experiences. Lush gardens, winding walking paths, and picturesque water features create a soothing ambiance, while our recreation facilities – including heated pools, tennis courts, and fitness centre – provide ample opportunities for both family fun and individual wellness pursuits.
Service and Hospitality
At The Landing, we take great pride in our exceptional service and genuine hospitality. From the moment guests arrive, our dedicated concierge team is on hand to assist with customised itinerary planning, activity bookings, and any other requests that might arise during their stay. Our multilingual staff is trained to anticipate the needs of families, offering child-minding services, stroller rentals, and baby-proofing accommodations upon request.
Throughout the resort, our employees are empowered to go the extra mile, delivering personalised attention and thoughtful gestures that make each guest feel truly valued. Whether it’s arranging a private s’mores roasting session for the kids or organising a gourmet picnic basket for a family excursion, our team is dedicated to creating memorable experiences that exceed expectations.
