24 Destinations for 2024
As the sun sets on another year, we stand at the precipice of a new era in travel, brimming with opportunities to explore, discover, and experience the world like never before. Welcome to the ultimate list of 24 destinations for 2024, where we unveil the most captivating areas of the world that promise to make your next year an exhilarating whirlwind of adventure and culture.
Get ready to expand your horizons, our curated list spans the globe, offering an array of experiences that cater to every traveller’s dreams and desires. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker seeking the adrenaline rush of a lifetime or a culture enthusiast eager to immerse yourself in rich traditions, this list has something for you.
So, we thought we’d deliver a dose of travel inspiration for 2024 holidays because we all deserve a little something to look forward to.
New destinations
Our amazing team of destination experts are always looking for new places to add to our list, and we’re particularly excited about these additions. We have a feeling people will be going all out in 2024 and we can’t think of anywhere better than…:
1. Dominican Republic
Among our selection of newest destinations is the fabulous Dominican Republic , the beautiful Caribbean nation synonymous with palm-fringed white sand beaches, wild jungle-strewn mountainous and riotously colourful carnivals. Hike the Pico Duarte, the highest peak in the Caribbean, discover the stunning El Limón waterfall, try delicious tostones (fried plantains) and wash it down with a glass of mamajuana. There’s no doubt the Dominican Republic will capture your heart.
2. Slovenia
Sensational Slovenia is often – and unfairly – overlooked. Home to mountains, lakes, vineyards, forests, caves and hot springs, you’ll be hard-pushed to become bored here. The quaint towns are home to gorgeous architecture untouched by time, and the local cuisine is a delightful crossover of bohemian heartiness and Mediterranean flair. Make this your 2024 holiday destination – you won’t regret it.
3. Vietnam
This snaking S-shape of lush green land promises a surprise around every corner. Vietnam is a land of enchantment that seamlessly blends ancient traditions with awe-inspiring natural beauty. Get lost among the bustling streets of Hanoi or the serene waters of Halong Bay, adorned with limestone karsts, discover the flavours of Vietnamese cuisine and explore historic temples… Vietnam promises a truly immersive experience quite unlike anywhere else.
4. Biarritz
A chic seaside town on France’s Basque Coast, Biarritz is a magnet for surfers, art lovers and foodies. Go for coastal walks in the hunt for hidden sandy spots and dramatic cliff scenery, ride the waves at Europe’s first-ever surf beach, Côte des Basques, or go for a historic wander around the museums and heritage buildings of this charming town.
Read more
5. Dordogne
This region of France has always been a firm favourite with our customers, and it’s easy to see why. Château-studded hills, picturesque fortified towns, quality wine-growing regions, and lush forested interiors make it a real beauty. Foodies will appreciate the fresh, local produce and history buffs will enjoy soaking up tales of the region’s past.
6. Provence
This classy and sophisticated region of France is the perfect place to spend the summer. Stroll along to local morning markets for fresh pastries, frolic through lavender fields, and indulge in the mouthwatering gastronomy by the harbourside. History and art lovers aren’t forgotten, as the region is home to iconic art collections and some of France’s most famous prehistoric cave paintings.
7. French Riviera
Stylish, cosmopolitan and effortlessly elegant – everyone needs to spend a holiday in the French Riviera at least once in their lives, as it makes you feel just a little bit like an A-Lister. The coastline is fringed by a collection of chic coastal towns where you can dine alfresco on a sun-soaked terrace, spend your days by the beach, and rub shoulders with the glamorous as you sip champagne while watching the sunset.
Home to some of the best beaches in Greece, this mountainous peninsula on the mainland flies gloriously under the radar due to many people escaping to the nearby islands. Forested hills, ancient monasteries and rustic stone houses make this a truly authentic escape. Spend your days kicking back on a secluded, sun-baked beach, drive along the coastal roads to explore charming local villages, or soak up the spirit and atmospheres of the local restaurants and bars. This is where you come to rest, relax and recharge.
An island of historic treasures, a lively town centre, and wild scenery, Kos is way more than fine sand beaches and electric blue waters (although we wouldn’t say no to spending our whole holiday lazing on said beaches). Boasting a rich history, visitors have a selection of monuments to visit, such as Asklepion, Neratzia Castle and Antimachia Castle. Or if you’re looking for somewhere to kick back and watch the world go by, you can do that too.
10. Zakynthos
You may recognise its world-famous Navagio Beach (aka Shipwreck Beach) from your Instagram feeds, but there’s much more to this cove-studded island than meets the eye. Traditional rural villages amongst hilltops and forests, limestone cliffs flank white sand beaches, and lively evenings filled with music and cocktails. A trip to this beautiful Greek island is the perfect way to ease your stresses, and the colourful marine park is ideal for a spot of scuba diving or snorkelling.
United Kingdom
11. scotland.
Magical lochs, rugged wilderness and dramatic coastlines – the landscapes of Scotland offer an endless amount of adventures for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you’re into sailing, hiking, kayaking or abseiling, you can find all manner of activities to get stuck into. That’s not to mention the rich history living in the walls of its medieval castles, ruins and city streets. Cosy up in a local pub, go shopping in one of the cities, or just soak up the views from the hot tub at your holiday home.
12. Cotswolds
Chocolate-box villages that wouldn’t look out of place in a children’s storybook, the Cotswolds is a rural idyll in the south of England set in the heart of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. With quaint and cosy pubs, walking trails winding their way through undulating countryside, and quintessentially British tea rooms, it’s a great place for a family holiday.
Experience the Croatia that’s not in the travel guides. This heart-shaped peninsula promotes the local way of life, away from the tourist-laden pockets of the country (if you venture further than the coastline, that is). The foodie heart of Croatia is alive and well here, with white truffles, fresh seafood and award-winning wines featuring heavily on the menu. Hilltop villages are surrounded by beautiful countryside, and the national parks are great for a day out cycling or walking with the family.
A designated UNESCO World Heritage site, it’s no surprise that Croatia’s Trogir is oozing in natural beauty. Once ruled by the Ancient Greeks, and subsequently the Romans, this pretty island city’s fascinating history is proudly displayed through its architectural delights.
But it’s not all about cathedrals and fortresses. If beach days are more your vibe, the dazzling Trogir Riviera will treat you to quaint, shingle beaches, warm waters and beachside bars. Whether you’re looking for family-friendly spots for swimming with little ones or lively stretches offering bars and restaurants, there’s something for every type of Trogir holiday.
15. Menorca
A low-key alternative to its Balearic neighbours, Menorca is all about the beach days. Its 216 km-long coastline is punctuated with hidden coves, long sandy stretches, Blue Flag beaches, and volcanic scenery. White-washed villages, picturesque cities and Bronze Age sites add to the charm of this Biosphere Reserve island (awarded by UNESCO in 1993) – it’s a great place for a family holiday.
16. Galicia
Spain’s northwestern province is unfairly overlooked as a holiday destination, but that rather works in its favour. You’ll get to experience its stunning coastline, pretty towns and villages, fascinating historic sites and unparalleled cuisine without the throngs of tourists that head elsewhere in Spain every year. Don’t miss the fabulous Cíes Islands, a short boat trip from Vigo, with its picturesque dune-backed beaches and forested hills begging to be hiked.
Set in the ‘boot’ of Italy, this sun-baked region stands out for its unique, traditional Trullo houses that are scattered across its scenic, rolling hills. The UNESCO World Heritage town of Alberobello has a fairytale-like feel, the dramatic rocky coastline of Salento wouldn’t look out of place on a postcard, and the quaint town of Lecce (dubbed ‘Florence of the South’) is well-known for its Baroque architecture and foodie hotspots.
18. Sardinia
This Italian isle and its impossibly clear blue waters could easily be mistaken for somewhere in the Caribbean! Sardinia’s craggy coastline interspersed with stunning white sand beaches provides ample exploring opportunities from above the water if you are keen on sailing, or below the water if a scuba excursion takes your fancy.
Elsewhere in the world
19. marrakech.
Colourful and chaotic souks, an ancient and bustling Medina and diverse landscapes – trek in the mountains, walk with camels in the desert, or find yourself in the midst of grand palaces – Marrakech has got it all going on. Although there’s plenty of hustle and bustle, you can still find tranquillity in the beautiful local Riads or hammams.
Where boho meets Turkish tradition, this white-washed seaside town is steeped in history, dating as far back as the Lycian times. When you’re not wandering the bougainvillaea-draped old quarter or taking a boat trip across the Med, you can explore ancient Lycian cities, tombs and the amphitheatre. While away a lazy morning feasting on a Turkish breakfast in a local café, before heading to the beach or discovering crumbling ruins.
21. Aphrodite Hills , Cyprus
Set in the gorgeous, sun-soaked Paphos, this stylish retreat is ideal for those looking for everything in one place. Five-star hospitality, tranquil beaches, a spa and an award-winning golf course mean you can spend your hours relaxing and recharging or getting stuck into daily activities. There’s an incredible kids club to keep the young ones entertained while you enjoy some much-needed me-time next to your private pool and in the evening, come together as a family for alfresco dinners as you gaze into the sunset. Bliss.
22. Bay of Kotor , Montenegro
Montenegro is slowly becoming a sought-after destination, and the Bay of Kotor (aka Boka) is leading the charge. Breathtaking scenery surrounds the bay, which is scattered with medieval towns, monasteries and incredible national parks. It’s a breath of fresh air from the usual beach escape, and if you’re an adventure sports lover, architecture nerd, foodie or photographer, the Bay of Kotor is your Nirvana.
23. Lisbon Coast , Portugal
You might have heard a lot about Lisbon city, but what about its coastline ? Pristine national parks, surf beach havens, and vibrant seaside towns dot this captivating side of Portugal. But it’s not all about the beaches – head further inland and you’ll find historic, quirky Sintra with its brightly coloured palace, or the hidden Neolithic ruins of Adrenunes.
Vibrant, energetic and passionate – these are just some of the ways to describe the culture and the people of Mexico . With fiery cuisine, fiesta-filled calendars, and charming towns, cities and villages, you’ll never be bored on a trip to Mexico.

Airport firefighters set to strike nationally, threatening school holiday travel plans
Aviation firefighters at major Australian airports are set to strike on April 15 amid claims from their union that a shortage of aviation fire and rescue firefighters is putting air passengers at risk.
United Firefighters Union Australia (UFUA) says it has leaked documents from employer Airservices Australia showing an "extreme risk" at 13 airports, and "high risk" at 14 others.
The planned work stoppage is due to affect 27 airports around the country and run for 4 hours from 6am.
The action threatens to disrupt school holiday travel plans as students in New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory begin their two-week term break and those in other states return to begin term two.
UFUA has claimed that government-owned air navigation regulator Airservices Australia has failed to address resourcing issues, but the regulator has hit back, saying staffing levels are adequate.
The union's aviation branch secretary, Wes Garrett, told ABC radio the "primary concern" of every aviation firefighter was the "safety of air travellers that they have sworn to protect and the safety of their fellow crew members".
"These leaked documents confirm that Australia's air travellers face a dire risk every time they set foot on an aircraft in Australia, should an incident occur," Mr Garrett said.
"At 13 major airports across Australia, including Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide, the leaked documents confirm that air travellers face extreme risk."
He said air travellers at 14 remaining airports across Australia, including Sydney, Canberra, and Hobart were at "high risk".
Mr Garrett added that the task resource analysis (TRA) of the service showed current staffing numbers were "well below what they ought to be".
"What we say is that the outcomes and risk identified in those processes needs to be reflected in our enterprise agreement," he said.
He said the TRA was an internationally recognised methodology for determining the amount of firefighters, trucks and resources required to protect passengers in the event of a worst-case scenario at an Australian airport.
"Disgracefully, Airservices have known about the dire risk to air travellers should an incident occur since 2022 and have refused to release the documents to the Union or the public," he said.
Mr Garrett said the staffing concerns topped the list of 26 items on a log of claims that were sought to be resolved in the current enterprise bargaining negotiations, which began last October.
"We don't seem to be making any progress whatsoever," he said.
"These resource shortages include a lack of key personnel to operate breathing apparatus, shortages of firefighting agents to suppress multiple incidents, insufficient personnel and vehicles to protect both sides of a crashed aircraft, a lack of personnel for effective fire ground command and control, and a lack of procedural control at Australia's airports."
The union is seeking a 20 per cent pay increase over three years, while Airservices Australia has offered 11.2 per cent over three years.
Mr Garrett said the timing of the strike action had "coincidentally" fallen during school holidays for some states.
"I don't think there is any convenient time for a work stoppage when it comes to aviation and I think that should really actually inspire Airservices to get in and settle the deal as soon as possible so that there aren't any stoppages and there's no inconvenience to the public."
Airservices Australia said the union's action was motivated by its bid for a pay rise as part of the ongoing employment agreement negotiations.
In a statement, Airservices Australia said the dispute had "nothing to do with staffing levels" which were sufficient to meet operational requirements.
It added that the TRAs "do not measure current state operational risk".
"The risk assessments included in the TRA process are based on theoretical scenarios that do not account for the likelihood of an event occurring or reflect the current operational environment," the statement said.
"Airservices conducts operational risk assessments to capture and define the management of risks and manage them to a level that is as low as reasonably practicable, and the TRA documentation states that Airservices' existing processes are both effective and appropriate for current levels of operational risk."
"Airservices has sufficient ARFF personnel to meet our regulatory obligations and is investing $1 billion over the next 10 years in equipment and facilities for our Aviation Rescue Fire Fighting (ARFF) crews."
The statement said the union's bargaining claims would cost the aviation industry and passengers an extra $128 million.
Airservices Australia said it would work with the airlines and airports to maintain safe operations and minimise any impact on the travelling public during the planned work stoppage.
General manager of people and culture at Adelaide Airport Dermot O'Neill said he was unsure "precisely what impact there might be on operations" at the airport, which was about to embark on its busiest month since the pandemic.
"At this stage, it's our intention to keep in touch with Air Services and we will provide any relevant updates to our customers via our social media channels and no doubt airlines will be doing the same thing," he said.

Last year, the cherry blossom season in Japan reportedly brought in the highest number of travelers since the country re-opened its borders to travelers following the coronavirus pandemic.
But Tokyo is just as exciting and vibrant in the summer, where you can visit Imperial Palace, the primary resident of the Emperor of Japan in tranquil park-like environs; scope out the Kanda Myojin, a shrine created some 1,270 years ago; partake in a traditional tea experience and much, much more.
Call it a night at Hoshinoya Tokyo, which bills itself as a "high-rise ryokan." (A ryokan is a type of traditional Japanese Inn.)

The biggest draw in Sin City these days seems to be the Sphere, a high-tech, dome-shaped entertainment venue that opened in 2023.
But arguably, Vegas wouldn’t be Vegas without living it up on The Strip.
To do that, you may want to stay at the pyramid-shaped Luxor, where you can catch the Blue Man Group performing or people-watch at the outdoor pool.

Sneaking into the top 10 is Greece’s largest and capital city.
Upon arrival at Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos" (ATH), you’re likely going to be hungry.
Though you’d be hard-pressed to find a meal that doesn’t dazzle your taste buds, some options include Volvi Souvlaki for its affordable and souvlaki (meat skewers) and gyros (souvlaki stuffed in pita with accouterments like tomatoes, onion and tzatziki), Stone Athens for seafood and Acropolis scenic vistas and Abibayio for delectable Greek fare.
You may want to visit the Acropolis and the Parthenon, so try a pit-stop at Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, in less touristy Kallithea and then cross the bridge and browse the eateries and boutiques along the pier.
