Holiday Help

Going on holiday is such a personal decision as it has to be somewhere you would enjoy and want to go on holiday as your spending your well earned and saved money on it. So planning your holiday can be difficult no matter what kind of holiday it is, a family holiday, a couple’s holiday or even just a relaxing holiday; because there are so many destinations to choose from. But there are a few things you can take into consideration which will make your whole life a lot easier and narrow down the choices of destinations to visit. They are: budget, who you are planning on going with, what you want to get out of the holiday, how long you want to go for and whether you’re going to enjoy it…

How much are you willing to spend?

Firstly, you should think about what you’re willing to spend on your holiday and how much you can actually afford. Depending how much money you have perhaps saved or got to spend will depend what destination would be perfect and affordable for you to visit. If you’re looking for cheaper holiday places to visit France, Turkey, Spain or Greece would be ideal. But if you have spent time saving up so you can go on a luxurious holiday you could perhaps rent out a villa in the Caribbean, California or Miami. 

Who are you thinking of going with?

Secondly, who you are going with; there is no point booking a holiday which would be ideal for families if you are looking at going on a couple’s holiday. An ideal place to go for a family holiday would be Disney Land, and visit Orlando as this would keep the children occupied all the time making everything a little less stressful, as well as time for you to enjoy yourselves too on the thrill rides or just letting the children go off on the rides they want whilst you sit back and relax. Therefore, a villa in Orlando would be perfect, especially if you have a larger family. If you’re going on a romantic or just a relaxing couple holiday then a villa in France would be well suited as many villas in France are beach villas, or have their own pool for you to relax by reading or just enjoying the company of your other half.  An exotic destination perfect for couples would also be the Caribbean with its beautiful sanded beach’s and clear blue seas making this the ideal destination.  

Why do you want to go on holiday?

Next, why are you going on holiday, what do you want to do on holiday, do you want to sight see and enjoy the beautiful views of the sunset and beach? Have an action packed week or just relax by the beach or swimming pool? Well there’s a destination perfect for all these kinds of holiday. For a beach holiday a beach villa in France or the Caribbean would be ideal, an action packed holiday to Disney World Orlando would be perfect, especially with children or Cape Coral in Florida which has an action packed water park, many bars and restaurants, natural attractions and an ecological park; and for stunning views the Caribbean or California would be ideal for watching the sunset over the beach in the evenings and exploring what these places have to offer.


How long do you want to go on holiday for?

Deciding how long to go on holiday for can vary, for example if you have small children going for 14 nights may be a little too long as they may begin to get bored or perhaps home sick. So a 14 night holiday would be ideal if you’re going on a romantic holiday or couple’s holiday or just for a rest from work and life in the real world. An ideal length of a family holiday would probably be 10 nights, it is just a little over a week and the perfect length of time before the children will start to get bored and home sick; but still allows you time to do everything you have planned. Furthermore, if you’re just looking for a short break 4 to 7 days would be the right amount of time allowing you enough time to get relaxed and be able to enjoy the few days you have away in the sunshine,  peace and quiet.


So now you've taken all of these points into consideration booking your holiday should be ten times easier!
