Palm Tree Court, Dubai

Though famed as a desert resort, there is plenty of fun to be had in the water at the 128-acre Palm Tree Court in Dubai, including water-skiing, windsurfing, and dingy sailing. Children aged from four to 12 can enjoy activities in the CoolZone under the watchful eye of childcare specialists, while the new creche caters for children from four months to four years, leaving parents free to relax in the spa.

Prices for a family of four start from £3,479 for seven nights, including flights. Tel: 0871 703 4240; www.travelbag.co.uk
