The start of a new year is a great time to make resolutions, change habits and, best of all, start thinking about the holidays that you will take throughout the year. Planning and booking a holiday in advance not only provides us with the time to budget and pay for them but also gives us something to look forward to later in the year. Work seems a little less stressful when we know that a holiday is within our grasp. Here are 3 relaxing holiday ideas that will help you unwind.
Take to the seas on a luxury cruise
If you want a relaxing holiday and don’t want to lift a finger then a luxury cruise might be right up your street. Not only does it give you time to unwind but you can visit and enjoy multiple locations in one trip. With vast areas to relax, swimming pools, bars, and shops, a cruise liner is pretty must a floating hotel complex.
The food offered on a cruise is nothing short of spectacular. Succulent fruits, fresh seafood, and meats, as well as a plethora of accompaniments, line the tables throughout the day. The only issue you might experience is gaining weight! Most cruise liners have an amazing daily entertainment program as well as a host of activities for you to take part in.
Go on a yachting holiday
If you love the idea of taking to the seas but a cruise doesn’t appeal, then a yachting holiday might be a good alternative. Many people find cruise ships too vast and busy. Yachts come in various sizes and can accommodate smaller groups of people. You don’t have to be an experienced sailor either. 12 knots yachting club offers a variety of different packages to both experienced sailors and those who just love relaxing on the water. If you are the latter, you can charter a cabin and an experienced crew will take the reins. A chef will also be provided to tend to your culinary needs. If yachting is your thing then you can charter your own. It is an amazing way to unwind and enjoy some of the world’s most breath-taking scenery.
Have a break in the countryside
If you love the outdoors, enjoy walking and want beautiful scenery, a holiday in the countryside may be difficult to beat. Whether you would prefer to stay in a country hotel or B&B or self-catering is more your thing, there are lots of options to choose from. After a hearty breakfast, you can take off and explore. There is nothing quite like a picturesque walk in the countryside, taking in the views as well as the fresh air and getting exercise too. Unwind in the evening in front of an open fire or have a barbeque in the garden overlooking lush green landscapes and hills. If it is peace and tranquillity you are looking for then this may just be the perfect choice.
