Best luxury destinations for a last minute holiday
If you just want to decompress, the classic choice is a luxury beach holiday. To get there fast and start to lux-out after a 3 or 4 hour flight Greece is nearest, followed closely by Turkey.
Happy to fly farther for an ultra-glam destination worthy of The Gram? Pick a perfect beach in the Bahamas or Barbados, a romantic and snorkeller's paradise in Maldives or Seychelles or, if you prefer new-money and bling-bling, may we offer Dubai for your consideration. If luxury for you is a little more exotic, we've loved Thailand and Bali for a long time.
Best time of year for a last minute 5-star holiday
High season will always sell out first in the most popular destinations, so book early of you want a top-choice in a top week outside the school calendar. BUT there are always last minute offers, so consider the less famous destinations if you're booking a peak date at the last minute.
'High season' means 'school holidays' and include October half-term, Christmas holidays, New Year holidays, Feb half-term holidays, Easter holidays and of course the big one, summer holidays. Book these weeks early if you must go to a specific place, or to the top resorts for families.
They can get sold out and even increase in price, when the chartered planes are full and rooms get bundled with scheduled flights at higher cost.
If you don't need winter sun, the best winter late deals are last minute ski holidays, for which we are the UK's top experts.
For classic and classy winter-sun, eave your Umbrella-ella-ella at Work and shine bright like a Diamond in Rihanna's beautiful Barbados. In truth, the entire Caribbean is a luxury winter playground, so pick your fave and jet out of the British gloom and into the life you were meant for. The only blues to be found here are in the sky and the ocean...
