April is entirely irresistible. From the clothing for kids to the days out, even the creativity in some of the dishes served. Whether you’re staying put or travelling, its a feast for all senses.
This classically beautiful clothing brand will have you swooning over your own kids, enjoy bubble shows to circus acts on days out, to one of the world’s best hotels opening their new kid’s club. This is what we’re loving in this month’s Citizen Enfants’ hotlist.
As far as irresistible clothing goes for kids, you know La Coqueta (meaning “well groomed” in Spanish) will make you melt. Their new Spring/Summer collection is oozing with watercolours and pastels that they’ll love wearing, and you’ll love watching them wear (maybe even want it for yourself). With that in mind, their latest collaboration is a fourteen-piece, limited-edition capsule for Mama & Mini in collaboration with American lifestyle brand Hill House Home. It features a feminine and elegant aesthetic, paired effortlessly with La Coqueta’s timeless, traditional designs for children. “I have long been a fan of Hill House Home and Nell’s beautiful designs, so it has been a total pleasure to collaborate on a collection for mama and mini, bringing our two distinctive design aesthetics to each other’s customer,” says Celia Muñoz, Founder & Creative Director of La Coqueta. A celebration of the season, you can enjoy puff sleeves, Peter Pan collars and effortlessly elegant pieces that transition beautifully from playdates to parties in the brands’ signature design details with iconic patterns.

Disney lovers delight. Disneyland Hotel, the iconic establishment of Disneyland Paris, unveils a new restaurant, La Forêt Secrète par Jean Imbert. A passionate Disney enthusiast, the Michelin-starred chef (of famed restaurants like Jean Imbert au Plaza Athénée and many others) invites guests to a culinary experience inspired by the greatest Disney Animation movies in a magical setting. The theatrically-styled dishes Imbert has brought to life include Under the Sea, a langoustine, shellfish, and caviar sprinkled appetiser inspired by The Little Mermaid, and Prince Ali’s Tajine, a chicken stuffed with dates and dried fruit entree influenced by Aladdin. Desserts are similarly imaginative, offering up the Lost Ark Shortbread, a vanilla, caramel, candied lemon, and almond crumble fit for Indiana Jones, and a sweet blueberry, vanilla, and Timut berry (an ingredient from Nepal similar to Sichuan berries) inspired by Princess Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. If you want your food to look like its come out of a Disney film, then here it is.
As far as travel goes, at Citizen Femme we don’t want to compromise on quality and experience when we’re away with our kids. That’s why we’re thrilled that Chablé Yucatán (voted one of the top 50 hotels in the world) has introduced a new range of family-friendly experiences rooted in Mayan culture for 2025. Children can explore the hotel’s new Kids Club, inspired by the Mayan myth of the mischievous spirits, Aluxes, with cxperiences from jungle adventures to stargazing nights, and even pickleball tournaments. Families can also immerse themselves in nature at Abu’s Farm, the new on-property eco-farm that offers animal encounters, farm-to-table dining at Abu’s Kitchen, and hands-on sustainability workshops. Seasonal celebrations and cultural activities will also be hosted here throughout the year, bringing guests together to celebrate the Earth’s cycles and increase environmental awareness.
