Kind Holidays, a charitable programme based on offering ‘holidays with heart, a journey of dreams and wishes fulfilled’, is the evocative charity initiative by the Idiliq Foundation. The aim is to create "lasting memories for those families who face immense challenges", said the president of the foundation, Juan Miguel Marcos. This project, which consists of "offering free holiday accommodation to families facing emotional and physical difficulties in some of the Idiliq Group's resorts", was presented at the Solidarity Space of the 28th Malaga Festival, organised by the Malaga City Council through the Department of Social Rights, Diversity, Equality and Accessibility.
The initiative of the Idiliq Foundation, which has provided accommodation more than 2,000 people in the Wyndham, Ramada and Idiliq resorts since 2016, was presented by representatives of the foundation and Mijas Town Hall, represented by the councillor Marco Cortés (PP), as well as volunteers and different social groups from the province.
Statements from beneficiaries
"For many, going on holiday is a simple, almost routine pleasure, but for some it is a privilege they can only dream of. We have experienced how these special holidays can create precious memories that are truly priceless. Every moment is imbued with deep meaning and heartfelt emotion", Marcos explained at the presentation of the event. This was corroborated by some of the beneficiaries of this solidarity initiative. One of them was Scotty Darroch, who explained to the attendees the trauma he suffered after his experience in the British army and how the days of break at Wyndham Costa del Sol were a lifesaver. Sarah Sea and her son Phoenix, who suffered from infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy, also spent a few days at the resort in Mijas: "each and every person we met at the resort made us feel like family".

The head of communications at Idiliq Hotels & Resorts and creator of this solidarity movement, Grant Peires, highlighted that approximately half of the 2,000 people who have benefited from this programme since 2016 have stayed at the resorts in Mijas Costa. "This year we are expanding our action and offering 50 weeks of accommodation to Spanish families, who will have the opportunity to enjoy a well-deserved break in one of our hotels and resorts. In 2026 we will increase the number to 100 weeks", said Peires, who urged other companies to follow suit. For its part, the Idiliq Foundation is establishing collaborations with different associations in the province in order to make them aware of this initiative.
