Summer Holidays 2025
We all work hard, whether it is managing our households, working full or part time and managing the children's hectic sports and activities schedules. When summer comes around and work, school and activities all take a hiatus, that is the perfect time to enjoy some downtime ourselves. No matter if you like to stay active: exploring new places, trying out sports and activities that are new to you, or going on long walks to admire the scenery; or if you like to be as idle as possible: leisurely days by the pool or on the beach, people watching on the hotel terrace, or winding a slow and comfortable trail from breakfast lounge to coffee shop to café, eating and drinking your way around your holiday destination – there is a summer holiday 2021 that is perfect for you.

Summer Holidays 2021 : The Best Family Friendly Destinations
1. Cornwall
Land of myths and dragons, Cornwall is touted as the site of legendary Camelot, with Tintagel Castle available to explore as proof. As well as being steeped in myths and history, Cornwall is home to the extremely forward-looking Eden Project. A series of futuristic looking domes comprise two biomes (one Mediterranean and the other a rain forest simulation), both filled with unique plant life from all over the globe. There is also an external botanical garden, which could be said to be a biome of the natural flora and fauna of Cornwall. The site welcomes visitors, putting on plenty of interactive features and activities to get youngsters interested in and engaged with the work. St Ives is simply beautiful, a wonderful harbour town at which you can get the best cream teas in the whole of the UK. But do you put cream or jam first? See if you can get it right and earn the nod of approval from your waitress!
2. Florida, USA
Give the children a holiday to remember by whisking them off to sunny Florida to enjoy super-sized sodas, unashamedly garish colours, world class beaches and, as if that was not enough, take them to Walt Disney World to explore the scientific wonders on show at Epcot, to play in the Magic Kingdom and get in touch with their inner four-year-old! Then head to Universal Orlando and immerse yourself in the world and fun features of your best loved movies.
Summer Holidays 2021: The Best Budget Friendly Destinations
1. Antalya, Turkey
Turkey's civilisation has been going for thousands of years- it was known of centuries ago, as evidenced by Chaucer referring to the country in his writings, and was once part of the mighty Ottoman Empire that swept through so much of the world, conquering all who stood in its way. Turkey, the country, came into being in 1923 and some people think that is where the history of the land begins too. This couldn't be more wrong, as evidenced by the tremendous wealth of ancient art, architecture and writings that can be found in the country. Antalya is especially beautiful, sitting by the azure, clear sea and offering wonderful views out to sea. It is also home to fabulous museums, Hadrian's Gate – if you have been to the Wall, visit the Gate too, just to say you can!, and also boasts wonderful natural landscapes, including powerful and stunning waterfalls. All this, and a beach on which you can laze too: why not think about visiting Turkey?
2. Da Nang, Vietnam
On the coast, and yet protected from the wide open ocean, Da Nang is a welcoming and vibrant place that has so much to offer anyone who visits for their summer holiday. From delicious food that ranges from cheap and cheerful (and completely delicious!) street food, all the way to five-star international standard cordon bleu cuisine. The landscape is dramatic and very Instagram-worthy, and there are plenty of historic sites to visit as well as new sights like the fabulous modern Dragon Bridge. Whether you are looking to see animals in their natural habitat, do some shopping, get in touch with your spiritual side, or simply let it all hang out at the beach, Da Nang is the destination for you!
