If day-to-day life is a whirlwind of chaos, long hours at work and too little sleep, you’d be forgiven for wanting to do absolutely nothing when on holiday. So, if you’re on the hunt for warm, sunny climates, luxury hotels catering to your every whim, and beautiful surroundings, then let us help.

When us Britons go on holiday, it seems many leave their sense of adventure at home, with one in three holidaymakers admitting they rarely venture outside their hotel complex during their break. The desire to simply fly and flop rather than explore our surroundings is put down to Britons being too tired or too nervous to wander further than a stone’s throw from the comfort of the hotel. More than one quarter of those questioned for a poll on holiday trends said they would rather relax by the pool every day of their holiday, while nearly one in five admit to never leaving the complex. Rest emerged as the most important factor in a holiday ahead of sight-seeing, water sports and even sunshine, and a stressed out 40 per cent of workers said they use their annual holiday purely to re-charge their batteries.

We’ve relaxed as hard as anyone, and our favourite exclusive escapes are…

Portugal

Weather: Highs of 30 Degrees Celsius and 12 Hours of Sunshine

Everyone loves Portugal. Every summer it is one of the most popular places to visit. Is it because of the beaches? The food? The Waterparks? Maybe it’s a combination of all three! So, make sure that when you go you pick a resort that contains the best of all three so you never need to leave!

Paphos

Weather: Highs of 29 Degrees Celsius and 11 Hours of Sunshine

Paphos is the ideal destination to fly and then flop this year. Their sandy beaches cannot be missed and so it gives you the perfect place to relax and recharge your batteries. You’ll forget all about the stress of work when having a nice cool drink by the pool.

Rhodes

Weather: Highs of 28 Degrees Celsius and 11 Hours of Sunshine

Greece is such an upcoming destination this year and that why you should make this the perfect destination to flop. Rhodes is an amazing place to visit due to the hidden culture it bears but so many resorts also include beautiful beaches for you to relax on all day long!

Fuerteventura

Weather: Highs of 30 Degrees Celsius and 11 Hours of Sunshine

Spain is one of the top destinations this summer, but instead of planning on which destination you should visit in order to get the most out of your holiday why not just fly and flop instead? Fuerteventura’s holiday resorts are excellent for the all-inclusive category as meals are hardly repeated which is a common issue at hotels.

Cancun

Weather: Highs of 30 Degrees Celsius and 11 Hours of Sunshine

Cancun is famous for their fly and flop holidays. With most resorts being all-inclusive it’s your opportunity once a year to have a lazy few weeks and be waited on hand and foot. With food and drinks available all day long you’ll never go a moment empty handed. What’s more is that you don’t need to leave your resort if you want to head to the beach or even a water park!
