Most middle class family holiday destination? (just for fun!)

I haven't spotted a middle class thread all week so thought I'd start one just for fun 😜
In your opinion what are the most middle class or umc holiday spots?
Summer:
Any part of France (extra posh if you have friends or family who have a house to put you & the kids up in!)
Italian Lakes
Greek Islands

Winter
Barbados or similar Caribbean Island
Skiing in the Austrian, Swiss or French Akps (wealthiest go to Switzerland)
Christmas markets

This is just for fun & based on the wealthier middle class families I know! They all seem to go to the same places!

I'll add Thorpeness and Southwold to the suffolk ones!

kimfox · 21/07/2022 18:27

Rock, Salcombe, Fowey, Southwold, Mark Warner everywhere, Portugal north of Lisbon, France in general.

I love that Pembrokeshire is classed as UMC. About time too

I'm currently in Portugal and all the tourists seem very middle class, it's a 4 star hotel.

No real middle class family goes to Dubai

Working class with cash.

Also and can't believe I forgot this one as it's quite near to me and several people I know have homes there: West Wittering! Day tripping doesn't count obvs.

Mennex · 21/07/2022 18:34

Ah yes how could I forget 'house in the witterings'!

I go for the day, obviously.

kimfox · 21/07/2022 18:34

And possibly bits of Wales. Not sure which bits as my ears turn off before I find out.

SW1amp · 21/07/2022 18:34

Antigua
Sani
Meribel (absolutely not CourChavel!)
polzeth/padstow/salcombe or a village nearby if you have a house that has been in the family for ages

Scotland for the summer

Based in a cottage on a friend's estate, dropping in to the Edinburgh Festival. Shooting and fishing.

Going back to the same place year after year

Isle of Scilly
A cottage anywhere

MrsMigginsCat · 21/07/2022 18:43

Constantine Bay and Rock. Like a posh Butlins in the summer.

Someone beat me to Abersoch. Mallorca, especially around Soller.

EveSix · 21/07/2022 18:45

Nope, not Dubai.
The Dordogne, Jersey, the Isles of Scilly?
