Wayne and Coleen Rooney are currently enjoying a family holiday in Barbados with their three sons, Kai, Klay, and Kit, alongside the children's grandparents, Tony and Colette. The couple, who own a mansion on the island that rents for £25,000 per week, are staying at the luxurious Sandy Lane Hotel, a firm favourite of the family.
Barbados offers pristine white beaches, mouthwatering cuisine, and breathtaking scenery, along with plenty of activities for children. The Rooney boys have already been spotted on a boat trip and trying watersports with their grandfather.
For those looking to emulate the Rooneys' glamorous family holiday without the celebrity budget, there are affordable options. Thomas Cook Airlines offers direct flights from London Gatwick from £219.99 each way, with stopover flights from Manchester, Birmingham, and Bristol. Other airlines include British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, while comparison sites like TripAdvisor, Expedia, and Skyscanner can help find deals.
Accommodation alternatives to the Sandy Lane Hotel include beachfront five-star hotels from £116 per night on TripAdvisor, or rooms from £66 per night on Hotels.com. Budget-friendly options are also available on Booking.com.
Kid-friendly activities include watersports, which are often included in all-inclusive packages. External companies can be found via TripAdvisor. Other attractions include the natural underground cave with stalactites and waterfalls, Atlantis Submarine Tours for an underwater experience, and a four-acre wildlife reserve with monkeys, parrots, and snakes.
