Luxury honeymoon destinations such as Bora Bora, Santorini and the Maldives are welcoming more multigenerational travelers as families increasingly choose romantic getaways for vacations.

Travel companies report a surge in family bookings, prompting resorts to add larger villas, kids' clubs, babysitting services and family-friendly activities while still preserving quiet spaces for couples.

Industry executives say many travelers who first visited these destinations on their honeymoon are now returning with children and even grandparents, transforming once adults-only escapes into luxury family retreats.

Travel experts recommend couples seeking a quieter experience visit outside school holidays or use concierge services to avoid peak family periods.
