Here are the best Spring Break holidays from Dubai to inspire your next family adventure. 

Maldives: Family villas, lagoons, and laidback luxury

The Maldives has become one of the region’s favourite family escapes, offering a natural playground of turquoise lagoons and endless white beaches. Families can stay in spacious villas — many with private pools — and enjoy dedicated kids’ clubs, family-friendly dining and shallow waters perfect for snorkelling beginners.

Whether you’re travelling with young children or planning a multi-generational break, the Maldives delivers effortless luxury with direct flights taking around 4 hours from the UAE. 

Sri Lanka: Wildlife, culture & coastal adventure

Sri Lanka is ideal for families looking to mix adventure with downtime. Spring is a wonderful time to head out on safari in Yala or Udawalawe, where kids can spot elephants, crocodiles and, if lucky, even leopards. The hill country brings cooler temperatures, scenic train rides and lush tea plantations, while the southern beaches offer relaxed resorts where families can slow down and enjoy the coastline. 

With flight times under five hours and simple entry requirements, Sri Lanka offers a rewarding, varied Spring Break for all ages. To learn more about this unmissable country, read our blog about the Best Places to Visit in Sri Lanka

Georgia: Mountains, mild weather & great value

Less than four hours from Dubai, Georgia gives families a refreshing change of scenery with its green valleys, snow-capped peaks and charming cities. Tbilisi is easy to explore with children, thanks to its walkable streets, cable car rides and lively markets. 

Many families pair the capital with the mountains, whether Kazbegi’s dramatic views or Gudauri’s cool alpine air, for a mix of nature and downtime. Affordable, friendly and full of fresh air, Georgia is a brilliant Spring Break choice without stretching the budget.

Oman: Close-to-home nature & desert magic

Oman is a fantastic option for families wanting a close, easy escape without compromising on scenery or adventure. Musandam’s fjord-like coast is perfect for dolphin-spotting dhow cruises, which are always a hit with kids. Along the eastern shores, Ras Al Jinz offers the chance to witness nesting turtles, an unforgettable wildlife moment for the whole family. 

For mountain air and spectacular views, Jebel Akhdar’s luxury resorts deliver cooler temperatures and plenty of space for children to explore. With flight times of around one and half hours, Oman is one of the most convenient Spring Break getaways from Dubai.

Thailand: Beaches, elephants & endless family fun

Slightly further afield, Thailand remains a top pick for families thanks to its beautiful beaches, warm seas and wealth of activities. In Phuket and Krabi, resorts often come equipped with large family rooms, splash parks and pools designed with little ones in mind. 

Ethical elephant encounters add a memorable touch to any trip, while island-hopping tours, water sports, and colourful night markets keep older kids entertained. With great value and plenty of flexibility, Thailand is an easy, vibrant Spring Break choice.

Hong Kong: Disneyland magic & city excitement

Hong Kong is a dream destination for theme-park loving families. Hong Kong Disneyland is a great all-rounder, offering gentle rides for young children, thrilling attractions for teens and colourful parades for everyone. Families can stay in Disney-themed hotels for added magic, or explore beyond the park with the Ngong Ping cable car, the Big Buddha, and the dazzling nightly light show over Victoria Harbour. 

Ocean Park adds even more fun, with aquariums, animal encounters and rides. With direct flights from Dubai taking between 7 and 8 hours, Hong Kong offers a lively Spring Break filled with adventure and Disney charm.

Paris: A European Spring Break with Disney enchantment

Springtime brings the city of Paris to life, making it a fantastic time to wander through its gardens, climb the Eiffel Tower, or pick from an amazing choice of museums and galleries to explore. The French capital has a lot to offer families with child friendly tours at many attractions, including a tailored cruise along the Seine designed specifically for kids. 

Many families pair a few days in the city with a visit to Disneyland Paris, where two parks deliver everything from classic Disney magic to immersive Star Wars and Marvel attractions. Themed hotels, character dining and spectacular shows make it memorable for children and teenagers alike. With direct flights and a perfect blend of culture and fun, Paris will put a little je ne sais quoi, in any Spring Break getaway.
