Savvy holidaymakers have been taking twin or multi-centre holidays for years. Now, harder work schedules and tighter budgets mean that more people are chosing to pack multiple stops into one trip than ever before…
Twin-centre holidays make sense. Why spend the airfare and the annual leave on crossing the Atlantic twice to see Las Vegas and LA when you can visit them both in the same trip? Twin and multi centre holidays offer you the chance to flop on the beach after a non-stop city break, or explore eclectic and exciting landscapes in one holiday.
One of the most exciting destinations to take in as part of a twin centre getaway is Dubai. The international hub for Emirates airlines, Dubai is accessible direct from regional UK departure airports including Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham – as well as Gatwick and Heathrow. Dubai combines ancient culture with modern attractions and impressive hospitality to create a city that has become one of the planet’s most wanted. Home to Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, Dubai offers a heady mix of historic souks, amazing water parks, pristine beaches and ultra-luxurious hotels. Whether you’re visiting to shop, explore or simply relax, Dubai makes the perfect stopover on the way to scores of exotic destinations, including Australia, Thailand, India, The Maldives, Seychelles and Mauritius.
Popular with honeymooners, twin centre holidays are a great compromise for couples who have very different ideas about what a dream holiday should entail. Adrenalin junkies, beach bums, culture vultures and shopping fanatics can all be satisfied if the perfect combination of destinations are chosen. Make a list of the places you’ve always dreamed of visitng and see if it’s possible to combine them in one trip. Some ideas for multi-centre holidays include taking in the two cool cities of Reykjavik and New York in one trip, combining a US city break with a Caribbean holiday and getting a beach fix as well as a safari in Tanzania and Zanzibar. In Cuba, the beach resort of Varadero is just a couple of hours’ drive away from capital Havana and in Morocco, coastal resort Essaouira is the perfect tonic after a visit to the bustling city of Marrakech. For agreat way to see multiple Med, Adriatic, Red Sea or Caribbean destinations in one, try a cruise or even a cruise and stay holiday. Wherever your dream destinations, plan your next trip carefully and you could end up crossing more than one off your list at once.
