We recently found out we're expecting twins in January so we've scrapped our plans to have a family week abroad in September (sorry DD) and instead DH and I are going to go away Monday-Friday just the two of us. I'm trying to narrow down the options a bit so would love specific area or even hotel recommendations. Criteria are:
Up to 4 hours flying (no ferries)
Still warm enough that we can sunbathe during the day
A smallish hotel (well, just not a resort) maybe boutique whatever that means... not a place that will be totally full of preschoolers but doesn't have to be adult only
A nice pool we can spend most of the day by
Within short walking distance of a beach we can potter along, doesn't have to be right on it
A decent restaurant on site and a few options within walking distance
No need to hire a car.
Our budget is about £1000 to cover 4 nights in the hotel and the flights.
Basically somewhere we can just be total lazy arses in a bit of luxury. Don't really care about day trips, exploring the local area, we usually do that to the max but I'm going to be 5m pregnant by then and will just need some enforced relaxation.
I'm thinking it's going to be Greece, Turkey maybe, Portugal (though we've done the algarve so many times), southern italy / sicily, southern spain, but would love some quite specific recommendations as I'm going crosseyed looking on booking.com! Thank you!
