Parks, Palms & Pacific Waves Family Escape

Fly from the UK to Los Angeles, USA. 

Kick off in Los Angeles, a city buzzing with energy and things for the whole family to enjoy. Head straight to Universal Studios Hollywood, where the whole family can explore the rides, shows, and behind-the-scenes movie magic — the perfect first taste of California adventure. And, of course, no trip to LA is complete without a family photo stop at the iconic Hollywood Sign and a sunset stroll along the Santa Monica Pier, a picture-perfect introduction to true SoCal charm for the whole family. 

Continue to Palm Springs, where swaying palms and desert mountain views set the scene for some well-earned downtime. Ride the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway together, the world's largest rotating tram car, climbing thousands of feet from the desert floor to the cool pine forests of Mount San Jacinto — an unforgettable adventure with breathtaking views the whole family will remember. Cool off by the pool, explore the family-friendly shops and cafés of downtown Palm Springs, and enjoy some relaxed, sun-soaked bonding time as a family before the next big adventure. 

Continue to Anaheim, the perfect next stop for family fun. Stay at The Viv Hotel, a family-friendly retreat just a short walk from Disney. Spend two magical days exploring Disneyland and Disney California Adventure with your 2-Day Park Hopper tickets, giving the whole family the freedom to hop between both parks and experience all the magic, rides, and characters Disney has to offer. Choose a park-view room to catch the fireworks from your window, then cool off at the hotel's splash pad after a big day of adventure, and enjoy some well-earned family relaxation before the next stop on your journey. 

Finish your journey in Huntington Beach, where miles of golden sand and rolling waves offer the perfect family finale to your California adventure. Stay at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa, a beachfront retreat where the whole family can unwind, splash in the ocean, or simply relax on the sand together. Spend your final days building sandcastles, watching surfers ride the waves, and strolling the iconic Huntington Beach Pier, soaking up the laid-back coastal charm that makes this the perfect place to relax and reflect on an unforgettable family trip before heading home. 

Drive from Huntington Beach to LA, then fly to the UK.
