Multigenerational Holidays: The New Family Reunion

Between school calendars, demanding careers, and lives unfolding in different cities — or sometimes different continents — family time has become a rare luxury. Finding a moment that works for everyone is one thing. Finding a place, a rhythm, and an itinerary that keeps everyone happy is another entirely. This is where Le Collectionist steps in. Not as a simple booking platform, but as a bespoke holiday orchestrator.

Multigenerational holidays, made effortless

We design tailor-made stays in exceptional private homes, shaped entirely around your group, your pace, your rituals, and your idea of time well spent. From the first conversation to the final dinner, every detail is considered so that nothing stands between you and what truly matters: being together.

Last year, one family gathered at Domaine Monserrate, near Sintra, for their annual family reunion. Almost thirty guests across four generations. The eldest over 80 and the youngest not yet one. A delicate balance needed to be struck.

Mornings unfolded in different directions. Some set off for the golf course, others wandered through Sintra’s palaces with a private guide. Back at the house, the small children played under the care of a dedicated babysitter.

And then, everyone returned. A full-time private chef brought the family back together around generous tables. Conversations flowed, stories overlapped, glasses were raised to being together. Different needs and wants were effortlessly turned into a shared experience that no one will ever forget.

How our concierge crafts tailor-made stays

No two families are alike, and neither are the stays we create. Our concierge team begins with a simple question: what does time together look like for you? From there, they shape every element around your group’s dynamics, preferences, and pace. They always consider:

• Ages, rhythms, and energy levels
• Balancing shared moments and personal time
• Group and individual interests from culture to sport
• Invisible logistics like transfers, car rentals, and grocery delivery
  
  

A perfect example is one family who travels with us every Easter. Each year, the destination changes, but the spirit remains the same. Organised by the grandparents, the trip brings together their children and grandchildren. The itinerary is crafted to create natural moments of togetherness while taking care of all the behind-the-scenes logistics.

Their itinerary always includes a private chef, allowing the family to stay connected over daily meals without the need to cook or spend time at the grocery store, as well as a full-day boat trip designed for shared moments together.

For the adults, yoga sessions, massages, and wellness experiences create space to unwind, while bicycle rentals allow the older children to explore safely. Multiple cars ensure each couple or family unit can enjoy their own sense of autonomy, and for the youngest guests, an Easter egg hunt adds a touch of magic to the stay.
