More Ultimate Luxury Experiences: Just for Kids
This is a press release selected by our editorial committee and published online for free on 2022-06-13
Auberge Resorts Collection is celebrating summer across all properties with adventure, exploration and education as the mainstays of the luxury experience curated for guests of all generations.
With new kids camps and family experiences, each of the company’s one-of-a-kind hotels, resorts and residences offer a home base for the whole family to reconnect and create lasting memories through travel.
From snorkeling in the turquoise waters of Mexico’s Riviera Maya, to locally-inspired cooking classes in the tropical forests of Costa Rica, and alfresco art classes in the world-class art capital of Santa Fe, N.M., the new experiences encourage kids to get outdoors and explore each destination’s natural surroundings, unique history and culture.
Auberge Resorts Collection’s great family vacations are designed for spending time together while providing the freedom for everyone to indulge in their own unique interests.
In addition to programming just for kids and teens, parents are encouraged to prioritize their well-being this summer with tailored wellness treatments, as well as sessions on movement and mindfulness.
“This summer is about discovery—whether exploring the great outdoors, local culture or cultivating connections with each other and ourselves,” said Craig Reid, president and chief executive officer, Auberge Resorts Collection.
“Our guests will find our new summer experiences offer the opportunity to experience rich, cultural moments that spark priceless family memories for all generations.”
Nature Exploration and a Wellness Paradise in the Mountains of Costa Rica
Costa Rican culture is infused in every element of Hacienda AltaGracia, Auberge Resorts Collection, one of the top 50 resorts in the world, which is home to the Junior Adventurers’ Club, which focuses on the exploration of the region’s land, customs and traditions.
The club’s activities are both playful and educational and include experiences like forest hikes, earth labs led by local naturalists and sound healing instrument classes.
While kids are occupied, parents can experience total well-being at The WELL at Hacienda AltaGracia’s natural river bath or with treatments such as the resort’s signature native herbal massage.
They can also dive into on-site adventure with tree climbing classes or bird-watching sessions. At the end of the day, the whole family can reconvene for world-class dining.
Mayan Pursuits and Ancient Healing Treatments in Riviera Maya
Developed to bring multi-generational groups together, Etéreo, Auberge Resorts Collection is the perfect getaway for families in Mexico’s Riviera Maya. At Chavitos Kids Club, every day is a distinctly themed adventure, such as Mayan Day or Beach Day, where kids can partake in a variety of age-appropriate activities.
Children will have the opportunity to handcraft their own ALEBRIJE, a Mexican spirit stuffed animal, or participate in ocean sports with lessons in paddle boarding and kayaking on the calm Caribbean waters.
Simultaneously, parents can indulge in a customized healing ritual at the property’s spa, SANA, or uncover rare Mexican spirits at Espiritus de Mexico. This summer, children’s menu items are complimentary for ages four and under and half-off for kids five to twelve at all of Auberge Resorts Collection’s Mexico locations.
