Give a holiday in Galapagos a go like Prince Charles and Camilla
Luxury holiday destinations for couples do not come much better than to view these wild and uninhabited volcanic islands during a Galapagos cruise holiday and tour.

It will also depend on what time of year you go, as well as which Galapagos package holiday you book. There are many to choose from – such as a Galapagos diving holiday for the adventurer in you.

It’s a trip to Saint Tropez, South-eastern France for Bono
Holidays in St Tropez along the French Riviera, have been enjoyed by the U2 frontman since he bought a beautiful sea-front coral mansion, with a private beach. He is now regularly seen by the locals in this serene fishing village.
A St Tropez vacation can be started by flying into Nice. While there, St Tropez travel can include drifting around on a yacht in the sun or making it on foot to the historic Place aux Herbes. Here, you can sample local fruits, vegetables, and fresh fish from the market stalls.
St Tropez holidays are not cheap during the heat of the summer but flights and accommodation are more affordable outside of peak season. Try going in May for the annual Bravade festival for dancing, singing, and plenty of eating and drinking.
Enjoy the heat of Havana like Mick Jagger
The Rolling Stones played on this Caribbean island in 2016. To ensure the gig went off with a blast, Jagger visited the island beforehand. He famously stopped at a private club called the Shargi La bar & restaurant and posed for pictures with staff.
Since the concert, Cuba has emerged as a popular tourist destination, with a selection of some of the best Caribbean vacation resorts.
If you want more than a poolside luxury holiday Cuba has the best of both worlds. Try an excursion like the Varadero to Havana tour. Usually, travellers spend two nights in an all-inclusive resort in Havana, Cuba, and a week in Varadero. Havana is around 130 km away from Varadero, so can be visited by bus.
The difference between Havana and Varadero is that Varadero is a beach lover’s dream, home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. On the other hand, Havana is draped in vivid colours, architecture, and cultural style.
