Travel isn’t just about the stamps in your passport or the sun on your skin. For me, it’s always been about the stories we bring home.
I’m Sharon Dearing, the owner of Galaxy Travels UK, and if there’s one thing a lifetime in this industry has taught me, it’s that the most precious thing we own is time. My own childhood is a tapestry of family holidays: the kind where the days felt endless and the laughter even longer. Today, my mission is simple: I want to give that same sense of wonder back to your family, without a single ounce of the stress that usually comes with planning it.
Whether you're wrangling toddlers, keeping teenagers entertained, or ensuring Grandma and Grandad have the comfort they deserve, multi-generational family holidays are my specialty. And if you’re looking for somewhere truly special: a place that feels like a well-kept secret: let me introduce you to the magic of Lara Beach in Cyprus.
Lara Beach: The Hidden Gem of Cyprus
When most people think of Cyprus, they picture bustling resorts and crowded promenades. But tucked away on the Akamas Peninsula lies a sanctuary that feels worlds away from the tourist trail. Lara Beach is what I call a "hidden gem." It’s rugged, it’s wild, and it’s breathtakingly beautiful.
For families seeking something bespoke, this is the place. There are no rows of commercial sunbeds here, no loud music: just the rhythmic sound of the Mediterranean and miles of soft, golden sand. It’s the perfect backdrop for a day of disconnected, pure family connection.
Nature’s Most Magical Show: The Turtle Nesting
The real heart of Lara Beach holidays lies in its smallest residents. This beach is a vital conservation site for Green and Loggerhead turtles.
If you visit between late May and August, you’re stepping into a living documentary. The nesting season is a seasonal event that captivates every generation. Imagine the look on your grandchildren’s faces as they learn about the conservation cages protecting the eggs, or the quiet awe of the grandparents as they witness nature in its most raw form.
If you're lucky enough to be there in late summer (August is peak time!), you might even see the hatchlings making their brave first crawl toward the ocean. It’s a moment that stays with you forever: a "voyage of a lifetime" condensed into a few tiny flipper-steps.
Stress-Free Planning for the Whole Clan
I know what you’re thinking: "A rugged beach on a peninsula? How do I get the whole family there without it being a logistical nightmare?"
That’s where I come in. At Galaxy Travels UK, we transform "stressful planning" into "joyful experiences." From arranging high-end, air-conditioned private transfers that accommodate car seats and walking frames, to booking interconnecting suites in nearby luxury resorts, we handle every detail.
Your only job is to show up.
We understand that multi-generational family holidays require a delicate balance. The kids need space to run, the adults need a spot to relax with a glass of local Cypriot wine, and the elders need accessibility and comfort. We curate every trip to ensure everyone’s needs are met, ensuring peace of mind is built into every itinerary.

Proudly Supporting Our Armed Forces
At Galaxy Travels UK, we have a very special affinity for our military families. We know that for those who serve, time spent together isn't just a holiday: it’s a homecoming. It’s precious, hard-earned, and deserves to be perfect.
That’s why we are committed to Armed Forces support. We offer exclusive Armed Forces discounts for serving personnel and veterans to help make those reunions even more special. But our commitment goes further than just a discount; for every booking made by a military family, we donate to SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity.
Supporting the men, women, and families who give so much is a core part of who we are. We want to ensure that when you finally get that time together, it is seamless, elite, and entirely protected.
Why Choose Lara Beach for Your Next Family Trip?
If you’re still on the fence about whether Cyprus is right for your next big group getaway, here’s why Lara Beach stands out:
- Educational for All Ages: The turtle conservation station offers a unique learning experience that beats any classroom.
- Pristine Waters: The swimming areas (away from the nests!) are crystal clear and perfect for a refreshing dip.
- The "Slow" Life: It forces a slower pace. No shops, no distractions: just quality time.
- Bespoke Luxury Nearby: While the beach is wild, the surrounding areas offer some of the most elite resorts in the Mediterranean.

From Our Galaxy Family to Yours
We don’t just book holidays; we solve problems. Take the Harrison family, for example. They came to us wanting a 14-person trip to Cyprus. Three toddlers, two teenagers, and two grandparents with limited mobility. They were overwhelmed by the logistics of transport and finding a villa that didn't have "too many stairs."
We stepped in, sourced a stunning accessible villa just a short drive from the Akamas region, arranged a private chef for the evenings so the parents could actually relax, and organized a VIP sunset boat trip to view the coastline.
Their only job? Making memories.
