As 2026 approaches, it’s time to start thinking about where you are going to go away for your breakaway next year. Are you going to book just the one holiday and splurge, or are you going to book a couple of holidays and enjoy a few breaks throughout the year? There is no wrong answer to this; it comes down to preference or the amount of holiday you have left.
Escaping and going on holiday is one of the best things you can do. The question you need to ask yourself is the type of holiday you would like to go on. Are you going to do something different, like a Camino De Santiago, and try a route like the Camino de Santiago from Sarria, or are you going to go on a themed holiday and book to visit Universal in Florida or maybe Disneyland, if you haven’t done it before?
Below, we have put together a quick guide on three ways to escape in 2026 to help inspire you.
Theme holiday
Themed holidays take a break from the ordinary and turn your trip into an adventure in itself. Think of destinations like Disneyland in Orlando, where every detail is designed to transport you into a world of imagination, or Universal Studios and Legoland resorts, which offer a similar blend of excitement and escapism. These aren’t just holidays – they’re full experiences that create lasting family memories. While they often come with a higher price tag, the joy and sense of wonder they deliver make them more than worth it.
Wellness retreats
Have you ever tried a wellness retreat? If not, it could be the perfect opportunity to step away from the everyday and focus entirely on yourself. These escapes are designed to help you slow down, recharge, and return home feeling refreshed in both body and mind. You could book a wellness treat for as little as a day or extend it to over a week. Some people like to combine a wellness retreat with a city break, so they get the best of both worlds.
Hiking trip
What better way to escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life than by going on a hike? Trips like these, Camino Portugues Coastal Routes, give you the opportunity to explore different landscapes, see different sceneries and enjoy being outside in nature. You can hike at your own pace, take it on with whoever you like (or completely solo), and you’ll enjoy the fitness benefits that you get along the way. Over the years, hiking holidays have become a lot popular and we can’t see them declining anytime soon.
Have you planned your escape for next year, and if so, what will you be doing? Will you be going on a hike, a wellness retreat or a themed holiday in the coming years?
