What is your type of weekend break?
With endless opportunities for short breaks, let your imagination run wild! Weekend breaks for couples are perfect to share some special time together and let romance fill the air. Enjoy a city break and soak up the sights and atmosphere, or why not head to one of Europe’s culinary capitals and indulge your taste buds sampling local delicacies and enjoying some fine dining, or a romantic candlelit dinner. Or perhaps a spa weekend away for the ultimate pampering experience is more your cup of tea. Relax, revitalise and rejuvenate, in the countryside or city; a spa break is the perfect way for couples to enjoy a romantic getaway or for friends to spend some quality time together. Perfect paired with a relaxing afternoon tea or an evening of cocktails to suit your mood.
But indulgence and pampering may not be top of your list for a cheap weekend break – perhaps you want to be more adventurous or enjoy your sporting passion first-hand. A short break to watch that all important football game, or see your top tennis players in action! If getting active is your thing, then head to the countryside for a walking or cycling holiday with picture perfect views. Or try your hand at something new, live on the wild side and go white water rafting or ice climbing!
However, nothing beats quality time spent with friends or family to celebrate a special occasion. Whether for a birthday, engagement, stag, hen or anniversary celebration, you can tailor a short break to satisfy even the most varied demands! Make those special moments even more memorable with a weekend away to truly make the most of precious time with loved ones. But sometimes no excuse is needed, treat yourself to a weekend away simply because you’re worth it!
