What Kind of Holiday Do You Want?
With so many options available, finding the right kind of holiday to take with friends, family loved ones, or solo can be a difficult task. This choice can be made even harder for those without much experience regarding travel. Having not traveled to many places, you may not know what is available or what destinations are waiting to be discovered. Here are some ideas to consider when you go on your next holiday!
Yoga retreat
If you are the type of person, who wants to experience a place you can go to meditate, a yoga retreat could be exactly what you have been looking for. These trips are exclusively made to rejuvenate and relax. A yoga retreat will often be in a rural location away from the business that comes with fast city life, further promoting peace and tranquility.
Package Holidays
Package holidays are some of the easiest to enjoy for a stress-free vacation. These holidays are perfect for families, and the price often covers the flights, accommodation, and any necessary transfers. It means that as soon as you are fully booked, your only worries will be your travel to the airport and whatever activities you want to do while youβre away. The company you book with will do much of the organization for you in this type of holiday, further removing any potential stress.
Beach Holidays
When traveling abroad, everyone wants to take advantage of relaxing on the beach, and so they should! For some, the types of trips that require a hot destination where you can lounge around in the sun all day are the perfect escape from the 9-to-5 lifestyle. Many of these destinations are perfectly adapted for tourists, offering great accommodation options, waterparks, restaurants, and other attractions to keep you entertained. There is a holiday like this in pretty much any country along the equator and the Mediterranean in Europe.
Backpacking
For people who want to spend an extended period traveling, backpacking trips are a great idea. You can plan and book a new destination as you go, creating more spontaneity across your trip. Backpackers often have a tight budget, so they tend to stay in hostels to keep their trip ongoing for as long as possible. Backpackers often travel solo, meeting like-minded people along the way. Solo traveling promotes a spontaneous lifestyle, as there is only yourself to answer to.
Safari
Nature-based holidays are rising in popularity, with many travelers visiting countries like Africa to enter the wild, often on guided tours to see animals you can only find in these countries. The animals people would expect to see on safari are elephants, zebras, lions, and giraffes, to name a few. If a safari is something you are keen to try, good locations include South Africa and Tanzania. There are also tour packages found in Africa that often include safaris as an excursion, depending on your destination.
Adventure Holidays
Adventure holidays come in all shapes and sizes, with varying activities such as mountain biking, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, cliff diving, and much more. Generally, the best places for these holidays are in rural locations away from busy cities. In Ibiza rent a boat for the day to explore the island from the sea. This could be somewhere like the desert or on the coast. An adventure holiday doesnβt need to start away from civilization either; many places host excursions and trips that will take you right where the action is.
Music Festivals
During the summer, the festival season begins, when you can find huge line-ups of some of the greatest bands and artists from all over the world. Festivals tend to last between 3 and 5 days, with many offering camping opportunities, which adds even more to the overall experience. If you are looking to leave the States, some of the best festivals can be found across Europe, including Glastonbury, Tomorrowland, and Primavera Sounds.
Exotic Retreats
Sometimes when taking a trip, you want to experience something exotic compared to your typical day. An exotic retreat can be the perfect destination to escape from everything, allowing you to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate. These kinds of trips are synonymous with newlyweds on their honeymoon, allowing them to spend quality time together to begin their new marriage.
Skiing and Snowboarding
Most ski and snowboarding holidays are for those who want to stay active in the winter season. These trips are often considered luxury vacations due to the high price. This being said, the money for these holidays is well worth it; you will have an experience like never before and still have opportunities to top up your tan.
There are stunning resorts located across the globe, such as Lake Louise in Canada, Bad Gastein in Austria, and MΓ©ribel in France. It is recommended that anyone going on a ski or snowboarding holiday for the first time have a few lessons, so youβre not causing any danger for yourself or anyone else on the slopes.
