So where to start?

• Well, Ibiza is known as party central. And there’s a reason why. It’s seen as the birthplace of rave and still boasts some of the best clubs in Europe. On top of that the beaches are brilliant. There’s never been a better time to hop on a flight just a few hours from home to hit the beaches by day and clubs all night.
• Split in Croatia is absolutely perfect for a relaxed summer holiday. The pebbly beaches are filled with sun seekers, the crystal clear waters are perfect for a bit of snorkeling and the mouth watering food on offer is the perfect accompaniment to an evening watching the sunset. It’s kind of been one of those best kept secrets, but we’re happy to share it! If you’re near Southampton, we reckon you should get booking now for an amazing sun holiday.
• Fly to Verona in Italy from Southampton, where you can combine a relaxed break with pizza and sunshine, beaches with cocktails, sightseeing and strolling, or history and partying. Italy is one of those places people talk about for ages! We’re looking forward to see your pictures when you get back.
• The airport at Faro in Portugal is the perfect base to get started on your holiday. It is home to some of the best resorts in Europe and so close to the UK there’s no reason not to go. Choose from Albufeira for a party all night, relax on the beach all day kind of getaway. Carvoeiro is ideal for families looking for a chilled out break with a bit of space for sand castle building, or Faro itself is good for golf, if that’s what you’re into!
