Summer is just around the corner and with it comes a much needed holiday in the sun. So here are seven of the best summer travel destinations to get your tan on. Just remember to pack your sunscreen!
Rich in culture, sun and beaches, this city is one of the best summer travel destinations in Europe. From the dizzying heights of the still unfinished Sagrada Familia to the colourful Park Güell, Antoni Gaudi’s influence on the city’s architecture is a must-see. Spend your morning wandering the city’s Old Town before heading to Barceloneta Beach for an afternoon of tanning. Expect to see entertainers, traders and sand artists as you relax by the sea.
This country is beautiful as it is sunny. If you’re looking to get a tan on a budget then Croatia is the destination for you. Head to the coastal cities of Split and Zadar to embark on an island-hopping adventure in the sun. Further down the coastline is the city of Dubrovnik. Fans may recognise its distinctive walled Old Town as King’s Landing from Game of Thrones. After following in the footsteps of the Lannisters, make your way down to Copacabana beach to cool off and relax.
Portugal’s crowning glory is the Algarve region situated at the country’s southernmost tip. It’s best known for its dramatic rock formations and sandy golden beaches. The Algarve is a popular tourist hotspot but you can still find ways to escape the crowds in this glorious region. Praia de Marinha and Benagil beaches are Portugal’s must-see summer travel destinations. These two sandy coves nestled under a rugged line of cliffs are perfect secluded beaches to work on your tan in peace. Heaven!
Seen as the gateway to the East, this country is an eclectic fusion of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences making it a cultural haven not to be missed. Enjoy the sun-soaked city of Istanbul with its bustling markets, exquisite food and colourful architecture. Or for a more beachy experience head down south to the crystalline blue waters of Antalya and the Blue Lagoon of Ölüdeniz. These Turkish summer travel destinations will help you get your tan on in style.
If you want to work on your tan this summer then you can’t go wrong with Greece. It has more islands and beaches than you can ever dream of so prepare for a summer of seaside bliss. Greece has over two hundred inhabited islands to choose from with the most famous being black sandy Santorini and the party island Mykonos. As gorgeous as they are, don’t feel like you have to go to the islands to have a good time. Explore Athens, the cradle of Western Civilization or laze about on the glorious beaches of the Peloponnese peninsula.
If you’re in the mood to go a little further afield then Thailand is one of the best summer travel destinations for sun, sea, beaches and tanning. Transport yourself to a paradise of white sandy beaches and clear blue waters on Koh Samui or get your party on at the famous full moon parties on Sunrise Beach. If you want to experience the wildlife while you tan, head over to the Phi Phi islands for a chance to snorkel over vibrant coral reefs.
For luxury meets paradise, The Maldives is one of the most exquisite summer travel destinations in the world to work on your tan. You will want to pinch yourself to make sure you’re not dreaming as you relax on one of twenty-six atolls (ring-shaped coral reefs and islands) under gently swaying palm trees. Best known for Blue Lagoons, coral reefs and pristine beaches you will never want to leave this tiny slice of heaven in the Indian Ocean.
