The weather is getting hotter day after day, and Spring is coming to an end, which only means that you’ve got to start making summer holiday plans. Most people spend their summers going to the local beach or at nearby resorts, but what if you don’t want a typical summer vacation? If you’re not basic, these summer holiday plans will definitely help you make the best out of the season.

5 Summer Holiday Plans to Consider

#1 Travel to a tropical destination

What better describes summer than the words tropical or exotic? Sipping on your favourite drink on a hammock, taking in nature’s beauty, and getting to know a new culture. Do these sound like travel goals to you? If your answer is yes, then you might want to consider destinations like Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, and Mexico.

#2 Go island hopping

Since summer and islands go hand in hand, how about you go to multiple islands instead of just one? If island hopping sounds like your cup of tea; or pina colada in this case, then you might want to consider Greece or the Philippines. 

#3 Plan a road trip

One of the best summer holiday plans is to go on a road trip – be it solo or with friends. A road trip is ALWAYS a great idea. There are also endless options – if you’re based in Europe or the US, or willing to travel there, there are lots of wonderful routes and adventures you can embark on. And the easiest option is to plan a local road trip. Your homeland is definitely full of wonders and hidden gems you have to explore.

#4 Attend a music festival

One great addition to your summer holiday plans is attending a music festival or even the concert of your dreams. Lucky for you, there are lots of popular music events that take place during the summer. So, no matter what your favourite genre is, there’s definitely something for you. Some music festivals that you might want to look up for epic summer holiday plans are Lollapalooza (US), AfroNation (Portugal), Tomorrowland (Belgium), taking place this July 2022, and Sziget (Hungary) and Burning Man (US), taking place this August 2022.

#5 Bring back the winter cold

Let’s face it, not everyone is a big fan of sunshine. Some of us may secretly be vampires in disguise! Just like some people hate the winter cold, other people also hate summer’s blazing hot weather just as much. They hate the sweat, humidity, and thirst, and they often can’t wait till it’s winter again. If you’re one of those people, why not go back to winter yourself when it’s summertime? 

You see, the seasons in the southern hemisphere are the exact opposite of the northern hemisphere. So, the traditional summer months are usually winter somewhere down south of the planet. Places like South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand are getting cold a couple of months from now. Sure, it’s not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of summer holiday plans, but that’s a nice, unexpected change if you think about it.
