Going away on holiday is one of the greatest luxuries. There is nothing better than putting down your laptop for a few days and forgetting about the everyday stresses at home. You get to experience a whole new culture, try new food, enjoy different types of drinks and see landscapes completely different to what it’s like at home.
When most people think about holidays, they picture beach resorts, city breaks, or all-inclusive getaways. While these classic options are always popular, and will be forever popular in the future, there are also many other types of holidays you can go on which offer a completely unique experience. You may have never heard of one, but a Camino De Santiago gives you the chance to hike and explore beautiful landscapes. A safari holiday, on the other hand, allows you to experience wildlife in its natural habitat, from early-morning drives to unforgettable sunsets over vast open plains.
Below, we have put together a brief guide on three types of holidays you may have never thought of before. Keep on reading to discover three options which might be a good option for you to never break away when looking for something unique and different.
Camino De Santiago
The Camino de Santiago is a network of pilgrimage routes across Spain, walked by thousands of people each year for reasons ranging from fitness and travel to reflection and adventure. Unlike traditional holidays, the Camino is all about the journey rather than the destination. Each day brings new scenery, charming villages, and the chance to meet people from all over the world. It’s a great experience, which is unique and something a lot of people haven’t heard of before. Depending on how much time off you can venture out for a couple of days or longer, and your hike can start from different locations, such as the Camino de Santiago from Sarria.
Safari
You may have heard of a safari before, but have you ever considered going on one yourself? Do you know many people who have actually experienced one? Chances are, the answer is no – safaris are still relatively uncommon compared to more traditional holidays. That’s exactly what makes them so special, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see incredible wildlife up close in its natural environment. You can do a Safari as part of a solo trip, or you could go away with your friends or your partner and experience it.
Digital Detox Retreats
When was the last time you completely switched off and didn’t use any technology for a couple of days? We are guessing a long time ago, if ever. Digital detox retreats are designed to help you step away from screens, constant notifications, and the pressures of everyday life, replacing them with calm surroundings, mindful activities, and uninterrupted time to reset both mentally and physically. They are completely unique getaways and something we think everyone should try at least once in their life.
