Going away on holiday is one of life’s greatest luxuries, providing the perfect excuse to shut down the laptop and escape the everyday stresses of city life. While beach resorts, city breaks, and all-inclusive getaways remain timeless choices, there is a growing desire for unique experiences that offer something beyond the standard options.
When you try something new, it shows you a country from a completely different perspective. When you are hiking, you get to see stunning landscapes, whilst when you are on a safari, you see animals in their natural habitat – when do you really get the chance to see an elephant, other than at the zoo?
To help inspire you for your next breakaway, below we have put together a brief guide on three different types of holidays to consider when you want to try something new.
Hiking
A hiking holiday is a fantastic choice if you’re someone who loves nature and wants to do something a bit different. Too often you come back from a trip away and feel sluggish, having overindulged endlessly for days on end. With a hiking trip you come back feeling stronger and healthier, as well as refreshed from being away from the grind of daily life. Booking through a company such as Orbis Ways can help you find a walking holiday where everything is taken care of for you. There are countless trips all around the globe for you to choose between, from Slovenia to Croatia, so it’s easy to tick a new country off your list too!
Safari
A safari is another alternative holiday break that is unlike anything else you’ll do. Rather than spending your time doing nothing, why not do something really meaningful and incredible? With a safari holiday you get the chance to observe majestic animals in their natural habitat rather than behind a fence in a zoo. You’re far from digital distractions and can stay in really unique dwellings like tree-houses, luxury lodges or camping. Whether it’s always been a bucket list item of yours, or if you just love animals, a safari break is an effortless choice.
Spa Break
A lot of people will opt for a spa break at home for the night, but not many consider it a holiday option when going away for the week – but you couldn’t be more wrong! A spa break for the week is the ultimate relaxation breakaway, where you are free to relax and be pampered to your heart’s content. Book into a dedicated spa hotel where you can enjoy massages, a sauna, spa and other wellness amenities. These hotels place your wellbeing right at the centre of what they offer and you’ll leave feeling completely relaxed and refreshed.
There are a myriad of holiday options to consider but the above three are options many say they do for the first time and then book again soon after.
What type of holiday do you think you will book this year? Have you been on a hiking holiday before or a safari? Is there a type of breakaway which you always lean towards each year? Let us know in the comment box below. We look forward to hearing from you.
