Family Vacation Tips in Sweden: Visit Daftö Resort

Here we give you tips on how to have the best possible family vacation on the west coast.

Choose the right type of accommodation

At Daftö Resort, you will find a variety of family-friendly accommodation options. If you want to stay extra comfortably in luxurious rooms, the Pirate Hotel is the obvious choice. We also want to highlight our cottages, which come in all sorts of colors and shapes. Many are decorated in a playful pirate theme, with exciting curiosities for the children to explore.

Activities during the family vacation

One of the most important aspects of a family holiday in Sweden is keeping the children entertained, which is easier said than done.

Fortunately, there are always plenty of things to do here on the West Coast, so no one needs to be bored on vacation. To keep the kids busy, it's good to plan a variety of activities. Remember that not everything you do has to cost money; many of the most enjoyable activities can be experienced for free.

Here are some things you can do for a more active family vacation:

Boat trips

Explore Kosterhavet and its marine life by boat. It is Sweden's only marine national park, offering experiences throughout the year.

Crab fishing

This activity will keep the kids busy for hours. All you need is rope, a clothespin, and some kind of bait (preferably a blue mussel).

Hiking in nature

Our facility is surrounded by nature that is just waiting to be discovered. Pack something delicious to eat and head out with the kids.

Daftöland

If you choose to stay with us during your family vacation in Sweden, we must recommend a visit to our amusement park Daftöland. It's hard not to have fun here.

Dress according to the weather and wind

We all know that the Swedish weather isn't always on our side, especially during the holiday months.

Make sure you pack the right kind of clothes for all weather conditions so that you can still enjoy your vacation if it starts to rain and storm. Throwing in a couple of raincoats and boots is never a bad idea!

Involve the children as much as possible

Encourage your children to participate in planning the family vacation on the West Coast. Depending on their age, the children can do different things.

If they are a bit younger, they can help pack bags with their favorite clothes and toys. For older children, you can let them be involved in looking for activities and things to do on vacation. They can also create packing lists and help with grocery shopping for the trip.

By involving the children in planning the family vacation, you make the trip more rewarding for them.

Destination West Coast: What are you waiting for?

Skip the trip abroad this year and opt for an active family holiday on the west coast instead. At Daftö Resort, you'll find great accommodation options for the whole family with plenty of different activities both on-site and in the surrounding area.

Hope to see you this summer on your family vacation!
