In Miami there are lots of different accommodation types and one very popular type of accommodation is a villa rental. This is because, 1. They make your holiday feel that little bit more luxurious. 2. Self catering when going on a holiday where you’re going to be taking advantage of the nightlife hugely is great, pre drinks are your place and then off to the strip, how good does that sound? Much better than being cooped up in a hotel room!

Depending on what you’re looking to do on your night out in Miami there is something for everyone.

Staying in a Villa for the first time?

Decided to book a villa as accommodation for this years summer holiday? If you have never stayed in a villa before or even been on holiday self catering before it is likely you may be stressing out about how the holiday is going to turn out. But, chill. Villas and self catering holidays are great and I can assure you once you get back from this one you will never want to go all inclusive again.

Some tips for staying in a villa would be not to pack so many clothes, you’re in a villa, it is likely there will be facilities for you to clean clothes, yes this may not be something you want to do on holiday however, I’m sure you’d much rather bring back lots of souvenirs right!?

Buy several disposable BBQ’s, they’re always great for bring the family together, easy to set up and can save you from doing a lot of work in the kitchen preparing a meal. Plus who doesn’t love a good BBQ?! Sitting outside your villa, beside the pool enjoying a lovely burger that has just been cooked on the BBQ whilst sipping cocktails.

Make sure you know what facilities will be available in your villa before you go so you know what to bring along. If you’re going with children and there is no television in the villa then think about what gadgets and toys you could bring along to make sure the kids are constantly occupied and not always bugging you.

Last tip, enjoy yourself! Self catering is great, it allows you to visit different restaurants in the evening to try out some of the local cuisine. You’re not waiting around for dinner time like you would be at all inclusive, you can do what you want and at any time you wish.

 

 

Best Destinations to Travel Alone

Travelling solo means you have free reign over where you visit and what you do on YOUR holiday, so you should definitely take this opportunity to visit the places you have always wanted to but have never had the chance to. Great destinations to travel solo too are Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, USA and Bhutan.

Why Australia? For starters it is the furthest place away from the UK, so if you’re looking to travel solo because you want to get away from everything then Australia is most certainly a GREAT place to do so! Lots of younger travellers choose to visit here to experience life “down under” before getting tied down by a job. Australia has a very outdoorsy culture and a relaxing vibe so you’ll never be short of company out there and you’ll feel very comfortable.

New Zealand… Just like Australia, New Zealand is known for being outdoorsy plus being full of gorgeous scenery. There is a huge choice of hostels, campsites, hotels and wooden lodges for you to choose from when it comes to deciding where you’re going to be staying. You can even see whale and dolphins if you visit the North Island, and the South Island has beautiful waterfalls. Not forgetting Queenstown which is the adventure capital.

Thailand is known to be one of the friendliest in the world; so travelling solo here you will be treated amazingly. Not only that, Thailand is incredibly easy to visit with great transport links, amazing accommodation and there is guarantee that you’ll meet many other like minded solos.

USA is definitely a great starting point if you have never travelled alone before. America has so many amazing attractions for you to visit, plus they LOVE the British accent so it won’t be hard meeting people and talking to the locals! If you’re looking for sunshine Florida and California are ideal, but if you fancy visiting the party scene you should check out Miami.

Finally, Bhutan is one of the most cultural countries in the world and you can actually only enter the kingdom if you are on a pre-booked tour. You are escorted around and put up in a 4* rated accommodation and treated to beautiful cuisine. Bhutan is a very peaceful place, but if you’re looking to meet others Thimpu is great and even has a good nightlife.
