best-cheap-winter-vacation-ideas 

There are a lot of things we can buy in this world; extra time, sadly, isn’t one of them. Whether you’re a high-flying professional or a busy mum of three, a couple of weeks away can be hard to come by. So when it comes to planning your annual vacation, it’s important to make the most of your time.

From a one of a kind road trip across California to luxury cruises across the Med, there are so many ways you can make your two-week break feel utterly luxurious and exclusive. But the true luxury here is time – and here are 5 vacation ideas to help you make the most of it.

1| Luxury Package Holiday

If you want to maximize your leisure time and minimize the planning, a luxury package deal could be for you. This is particularly great for families with children who don’t want to waste time organizing breakfast, lunch and dinner. Enjoy three square meals and unlimited drinks, and spend the rest of the day enjoying quality time together.

 

2| Mini Cruise Across Europe

Cruises are extremely glamorous. If you only have a few nights to spare, a mini cruise (which can be anywhere between 2-5 nights) can be the perfect length of time. Enjoy on-deck entertainment such as shopping, casinos, fabulous shows, and a selection of fine dining restaurants – and also explore a number of destinations along the way. This is the best way of experiencing a handful of towns/cities in a short period of time.

 

3| Summer Road Trip

Whether you want to explore the famous Route 66, Glacier National Park in Montana, or Blue Ridge Parkway from Virginia to North Carolina, roads trips are an iconic American pastime. But road trips don’t have to be a budget travel experience; hire a luxury sports car (see a list of road trip cars here), drive with the top down and make the most of your vacation by seeing everything you want on the open road.

 

4| Island Hopping Tour

If you love to kick back and enjoy sun, sea and sand but you don’t want to stay in the same place all week, why not book an island hopping tour so you can tick off more boxes on your bucket list? The best places to tour stunning islands include the Greek Islands, the Caribbean, or Indonesia.

 

5| Culinary Food / Drink Tour

If you love fine dining, a culinary tour could be a brilliant way to enjoy doing what you love the most (tasting good food and wine) whilst exploring a number of exciting destinations. If you love Italian food, Tuscany is one of the most popular regions for foodies (due to its authentic and traditional use of Italian recipes) or if you love Michelin quality French cooking, be sure to tour Burgundy and the Rhone in central France.
