I’m stuck and am hoping you might have some ideas.
We would like to have a holiday for 2 weeks over Christmas this year.
We’d like the destination to be roughly half way/ similar travel times to Australia so my Australian friend can meet us and stay with us.
We are a family of 4; me, DP, 4 yo and 1yo (just). Plus friend, so we’ll need at least 2 bedrooms but in one house/ apartment/ suite and I think it’ll need to be an Airbnb or similar rather than a package with a hotel due to us not all travelling together.
We love to travel around usually but don’t want to do too much of that with the DC. We’d like some culture, things to see and do, maybe a city nearby and some beach time. Somewhere child friendly and safe.
We had thought about Thailand - I’ve never been but DP and friend have been lots and we can’t think of where location-wise would fit the bill without taking flights/ trains/ bus journeys and splitting up the holiday. Do you have any ideas?
Then we thought about Mauritius which is smaller so we could use one place as a base and experience culture, cities, temples etc and beach. but accommodation seems expensive over Christmas and I’ve read there’s not a great deal to do away from the beaches?
Budget is around £7k for our flights from the UK and accommodation for everyone (sleeps 5 in at least 2 bedrooms).
Can anyone think of any destinations and specific areas that might suit our needs?
Thank you 😊
