Sea World Resort, Gold Coast – Unlimited theme Park entry for four (save up to 41%)
If you’re planning a theme-park holiday on the Gold Coast, this deal is basically the holy grail. A stay at Sea World Resort on Main Beach comes with unlimited entry for up to four guests to Sea World, Warner Bros. Movie World, Wet’n’Wild and Paradise Country – perks valued at almost A$800 on their own. It’s one of Luxury Escapes’ bestselling family packages for a reason.
Start next door at Sea World, where kids can dive into The New Atlantis precinct with rides like The Trident, Leviathan, and Vortex, plus meet their favourite Nickelodeon characters. Then head to Movie World for superheroes, themed shows and the DC Rivals HyperCoaster, the tallest, longest and fastest ride in the Southern Hemisphere. Cool down at Wet’n’Wild with Australia’s biggest and most extreme water slides, and finish with Aussie animals and farm fun at Paradise Country.
After big days at the parks, the resort makes it easy to unwind with family-friendly dining – from the award-winning Hatsuhana Japanese Restaurant to ocean-inspired buffets at Shoreline, relaxed Italian at Melrose, and sunny bites at The Boatshed. Plus, you’re still close to beaches, hinterland walks and all the classic Gold Coast fun.
Right now, you can save up to 41%, with 5 nights from A$1,329 per room, or 5 nights + flights from A$2,182 total.
Radisson Resort & Suites (Phuket) – Save up to 63% on a family beach escape
If Phuket is calling your name (and let’s be honest, it usually is), this family holiday deal at Radisson Resort & Suites Phuket is an absolute winner. Sitting just moments from Kamala Beach, the resort is basically purpose-built for parents who want to relax and kids who want to burn off all their holiday energy. We’re talking lagoon-style pools, thrilling water slides, a kids’ club, and even an on-site ice-creamery – because nothing says “tropical holiday” like letting your children have gelato before lunch.
The suites are seriously spacious, with apartment-style layouts, kitchenettes, and balconies or terraces overlooking the pool or tropical gardens. Families of all sizes will fit comfortably without tripping over each other’s sandals, snorkels or toys.
When hunger hits, you’ve got three eateries, nightly dinners, and cocktails included in selected packages – plus an indulgent spa for when you can escape for a massage. And if you do manage to leave the resort (no judgement if you don’t), you’re right near beach clubs, waterfront restaurants, and water sports.
Right now, you can save up to 63%, with 7 nights from A$1,139 per suite, or 7 nights + flights from A$3,990 total.
Spicers Retreats (Australia) – Save 25% on summer escapes
If you’re dreaming of a family holiday deal that can be as chilled or as adventurous as you like, Spicers Retreats has a pretty tempting offer right now. Their Summer Escape Sale gives you 25% off stays across some of Australia’s most beautiful boutique properties – from vineyard hideaways and rainforest retreats to chic city escapes. Whether you’re sneaking away for a much-needed parents’ reset or treating the whole crew to gourmet picnics, nature adventures, and wide-open spaces, it’s the kind of getaway that feels indulgent without the stress.
The offer runs across favourites like Spicers Tamarind Retreat, Spicers Clovelly Estate, Spicers Sangoma Retreat, Spicers Vineyards Estate, Spicers Balfour Estate, Spicers Guesthouse, Spicers Hidden Vale, Spicers Potts Point, and Spicers Peak Lodge.

Each stay includes daily breakfast, nightly dinner, and a free-flow cocktail hour, making it incredibly easy to switch your brain into holiday mode. You can dine in your villa or at the alfresco Herbs & Stones Garden Restaurant, unwind with a wellness treatment at Spa Air, or even join a private yoga session among the greenery. When you’re ready to explore, Seminyak’s world-class restaurants – from Indonesian at Sangsaka to tasting menus at Merah Putih – are right on your doorstep.
