So, which are the best Holiday destinations for people flying from the UK?

This listing will help you find your next holiday.

First, where do us Brits go most on holiday? I went through some search records on Google and found the following:

Top Holiday Destinations (by number of travellers from UK every year)

1. Spain holidays Since Spain is the most popular holiday destination for us Brits with over a million searches a month, I’ve divided Spain into regions to fully calculate its popularity.

1. Majorca holidays - Majorca or Mallorca is heaven. I’ve been there myself. With a vibrant nightlife and amazing scenic views and beaches, this largest of all Spanish island tops Spanish holiday charts with over 300,000 monthly searches for Majorca alone. If you’re looking for a party place or an opportunity to be in the quiet surrounded by nature, Majorca is your best bet.
2. Tenerife holidays - Tenerife is the largest of the 7 canary Islands in the Atlantic ocean. Just off the coast of Morocco, Africa, this Spanish territory commands the status of one of the most popular tourist destinations around the world. As they say, the place where spring never ends, Tenerife is the highest point of Spain with its Mount Teide volcano. The temperature averages 20 degrees celcius throughout the year and is considered to be the best in the world by many. 320,000 searches online every month.
3. Gran Canaria holidays - Also one of the seven canary islands, the Gran Canaria is the second largest and second most populated after Tenerife. Volcanic in nature, The Gran Canaria offers a unique natural experience, with fissure vents, different soil and vegetation. The Gran Canaria is famous for its family holidays and is full of well appointed resorts. 180,000 monthly searches.
4. Ibiza holidays - Ibiza is a beautiful little Spanish island located in the Mediterranean sea that has become hugely popular as a holiday top spot in the last 35 years. What makes Ibiza special is the extended coast line of sandy beaches, a chilled out way of life and seclusion. As all Spanish holidays, Ibiza town will offer you a buzzing nightlife and for those looking for peace and quiet, there are plenty of resorts surrounded by nature and tranquility. 135,000 searches per month.
5. Other notable Spanish holiday destinations - With a 100,000 British people searching for holiday packages in Benidorm, this is the 5th most popular Spanish holiday destination followed by Costa del Sol at 60,000 searches and Lanzarote (another beautiful canary island) with 55,000 searches. Recommended - Spain holidays

If you haven’t yet experienced a Spanish holiday, you haven’t yet been on your best holiday. Majorca alone gets 2.5 million British holiday makers a year and 2008 was a record high.

2. Cyprus holidays - Cyprus is the number 2 holiday destination for us Brits. On average, 400,000 of us search for Cyprus holidays online every month. Yes! Every Month! No wonder I’ve been to Cyprus twice myself. In Cyprus, most popular spots are Limassol and Paphos - Paphos is full of ancient sites as old as 4th century BC, lies in the southwest of Cyprus and is a world heritage site by UNESCO. Limassol is the capital of southern Cyprus and is a popular shopping destination.

3. Turkey holidays - With just under 400,000 searches on Google alone, Turkey is the third most visited holiday destination for British holiday makers. The ex-Ottoman empire with a taste of Asia within Europe, Turkey is a top holiday destination where you’ll find snow-capped mountains and sunny beaches at a few hours’ distance. Istanbul, the largest city is where we flock most to, to live the Sultan size life for a few relaxing days.

4. Greece holidays - Close on the heels of Turkey, Greece holidays are very popular amonst British people. With just under 400,000 searches online a month, we love Greece, especially the Island of Crete. Crete, as legend goes, was where the Greek God Zeus was born and is the present resting place of Greek Gods. The southern-most of all Greek islands, Crete is the meeting point of Africa, Asia and Europe. If you’re looking for a busy, choc-a-block resort holiday, Greece is the place for you, where not UK holiday makers, but tourists from all over the world flck in great numbers.

The warm, clear island water provides the perfect environment for boating, fishing, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving and sailing. Dive shops offer training for those who have no experience to those desiring to become certified. Guests have the unique opportunity to come face to face with the colorful underwater world filled with living coral reefs, sponges, jellyfish and various species and sizes of tropical fish. Boating excursions take visitors on scenic tours of the islands or on dolphin and whale excursions. A few of the vessels are equipped with glass bottoms to view local marine life. Submarine adventures allow guests to view the amazing underwater world without stepping foot into the ocean.

Facts & places to visit

Those enjoying Gran Canaria holidays explore Las Palmas, the capital city, with its distinct 15th and 16th century buildings.

London is a busy city and it will be even more crowded during the Olympics. It will not be possible to just show up and find accommodation. Reservations are essential! Book early and check out what accommodation is available. Be assured that any family with an extra room will be renting it out during the Olympics. If you wait until it is too late then you may end up staying somewhere that is not too nice or clean. This can make a great Olympics trip very disappointing.

There are travel packages already being offered for the 2012 Olympics with some great savings and deals. If you want to have a carefree trip and not worry about anything then go all inclusive. There are some all inclusive packages available of which you will be staying at the best hotels and will have all transportation taken care of.

Some travel companies have yet to post their travel packages. They will take your e-mail and send information when it is available. Try to gather as much information as possible. Once you have the details do not take too long deciding. It is best to have a budget in place and then choose what best fits the events you want to see and your budget.

Talk to a travel agent as they will have discounts and deals at their fingertips that are not available online. Additionally a travel agent will be able to completely customize your trip. Many packages and bookings will be fixed and it can be difficult to make changes if you so desire. Even if you do not book through a travel agent it is a good idea to get some information from them. This way you can compare with other packages and bookings and find the best option for your travel.

London hotels are expensive. However there are towns outside of the city that are less expensive and have direct train connects. This is an excellent idea for those that want to save money on accommodation. By staying outside of the city it is also possible to get a break from the 2012 summer olympics as London will be in full athletic mode. A few towns to consider include Suffolk, Ipswich, Southwold, Felixstowe, Lowesoft, Aldeburgh and Orford.

Unless you are living in Europe it will be necessary to fly in into London. For this in Europe taking the train is another option. You can bet that the airfare will be sky high even if you book very far in advance. Look at how the airfare prices will change if you travel a few days earlier or later.

You may find that the savings you make by changing your travel dates will be greater than staying an additional night at a hotel. Unlike other times of year booking the last minute will not save any money. You can be sure that all flights into London at this time will be full.

If you get the opportunity to spend some time in a chalet, then grab it with both hands. Most of the chalets have great features as standard such as balconies, panoramic views and traditional open fireplaces. Most accommodation will have space in the rooms for cots or cribs, so there is no reason not to take the very young members of the family to enjoy this experience!

Places in the world such as Switzerland and France have the option of residing in a luxury chalet. Benefits of these kinds of chalets are usually private parking space next to the cabin, saunas, jacuzzis and outdoor hot tubs. You can also marvel at beautiful Italian marble in the bathroom, stunningly finished parquet floors in the bedrooms and even heated ski boots by the door for when you awake in the morning! All of these little but important touches are usually part and parcel of a luxury chalet vacation.

It is possible to rent a chalet on a self-catering basis which means that the staff only come in to clean or change towels and linen. You could also take the somewhat quirkier option (which is becoming more popular) of having the staff reside in the actual chalet with you. This allows them to be on hand for anything you need, ensuring that you receive a world-class service at all times.

Many of the chalets that are available to rent for a vacation are located in world-class ski resorts around the globe. On top of spectacular views, this option offers you the chance to relax in your chalet after a hard day on the slopes. The accommodation could be situated half way up a glorious mountain, meaning you get wonderful views when you open your window in the morning.

If it is likely that you will use a chalet as accommodation of a regular basis, then it is worth inquiring about buying one. There are various styles, types and sizes available all over the world so you will easily find one that suits your tastes. Buying a chalet is not as expensive as you may think and it can be deemed to be a sound investment. Many chalet owners rent out their property during the year when they are not using them personally. Some of the easiest and best places to buy a chalet are America and France.

Other advantages of staying in a chalet is that there are usually a lot of amenities close at hand. Many resorts and well known destinations are close to nature, restaurants and shopping facilities, meaning you have an all-round great trip. There is always something to see or do in the area around a chalet - or you could simply stay indoors and bask in the luxurious surroundings!

Buying or renting chalets will provide you with a wonderful, enriching life experience. You can expect to have all of the comforts of a top-class hotel with loads of character, charm and warmth thrown in for good measure.
