If you could go anywhere for a week as a couple where would you go...

This isn't really a hypothetical question, I am starting a new job and have some time of in between but in term time....a family member can look after my children for a week and I have a reasonable budget to pay for this.

Where would you go...

Santorini - it looks pretty - but not the touristy side, the other side.
Or Sardinia, but thats horrendously expensive.

Depends on what you are looking for? City break?? Beach??

Japan, I really fancy a holiday in Japan.

Vegas
Cuba
Cape Verde
Boracay

Depends on what sort of holiday you like. A free week for us would usually mean camping somewhere quiet and nice (Scotland/France) or a bit more interesting (Iceland/Norway) but for some would be a villa/pool holiday in the sun.

I personally would take the opportunity to have a relaxing week somewhere reasonably interesting, rather than a jam packed city (or two) holiday.

Enjoy your break!!

France Spain Italy Greece of canaries

Hawaii

Bit more info time of year will be November...I would probably say beach as my last few weeks at work are going to be pretty stressful

Seychelles or failing that, the Maldives

Kefalonia

Or maybe Iceland but you’d have to check the best time to go.

I would do a city break and then trekking in the countryside e.g. Venice then mountains.

Indian Ocean or Caribbean in November - perfect for a week.

Japan Japan Japan

All inclusive, adults-only resort in the Caribbean - bliss!

Sorry x-posted Kefalonia is a no in November.

Anywhere in the Indian Ocean is good in November.

A week in Tuscany eating delicious food, touring vineyards and generally lazing around. Heaven!

Lovely as they are, some of these places are too far to go for a week. Hawaii is 11 hours behind us.

I'd go for a Balearic island for a restful week somewhere reasonably quick to get to.

Sri Lanka for sure. Beautiful place with so many world heritage sites!

mexico - tulum.

We did the Maldives for 8 days and it was fab. I highly recommend it (and was expecting to be bored) and wish we could afford to go again!

November might be a Canary island rather than Balearic, actually.

A week is too short for Japan.

Is India Ocean doable for a week...looks like it takes about 13-14 hours to get there but isn't huge time difference and they are ahead which works quite well...

Antigua

Sri Lanka. It's wonderful. My dh and I used to live in South Asia (not Sri Lanka) and we used to holiday there a lot. I often dream of going back, but we don't have the childcare help and littles are still too little to make that an easy family trip.
