We’ve been obsessed with Greece since the B.C. days and who can blame us. Holidays here are for ancient history, boat days and yum gyros. Live your best Mamma Mia! life on pretty islands like Crete or Santorini, or make it a mainland moment in Athens or Thessaloniki.
The Balearic babes are all about beach. Majorca’s got the most sweeps, Menorca brings the chill vibes, then Ibiza’s loved by party people everywhere, although there’s a much softer side to the island, too. Don’t sleep on Formentera, though – it flies under the radar, but has more natural beauty than all of them.
If you like a bit of everything, Turkey’s all yours. The culture’s a sweet combo of Europe and the Middle East, from its history and its food to its coastline – you can swim in the Black Sea, the Aegean and the Med here. It’s not all beachy trips, though… Istanbul is pure city break material.
Brits have been topping up their tans here for decades. The Canaries are forever a fave for winter sun holidays – they’re only about a four-hour flight from home, but you get the heat all year round. Tenerife and Gran Canaria are the big names, then Lanzarote and Fuerteventura feel a bit more laidback.
Mexico’s always a vibe. The capital, Mexico City, is a win for foodies and fiesta lovers, while the Caribbean Coast is the best kind of cliché. Channel your inner spring breaker in Cancun, visit mega Mayan ruins in Tulum and explore eco parks in Riviera Maya. For desert-island scenes, Isla Holbox is totally car free and carefree.
Rum punch, reggaeton and tropical temps – the Dom Rep’s all about living your best island life. It’s the second largest in the Caribbean, with over 1,000 miles of beaut beaches. Think white sand, swaying palms and clear waters. Punta Cana’s got big boujie energy, then La Romana’s got that charming fishing-village aesthetic.
