Ille de Re, nr La Rochelle in Western France
Lifeinourvan top tip
Opt for the lesser known places as a base (such as La Flotte) and get on your bikes to sights such as the magnificent lighthouse or marvel at the bridge whilst lazing on a sand dune underneath
Dubrovnik, Dalmatian Coastline, Croatia
Lifeinourvan top tip
Opt for accommodation outside the walls of the old city, beside the harbour… its cheaper and the local transport system is fantastic… try to see the city from as many angles as possible (above, on the water, on the walls and from inside…) It is simply stunning from every angle you choose!
Nerja, the jewel of the Costa Tropical, Spain

For those with motorhomes or wishing to camp…. book early if you can as there is limited accommodation. For those seeking hotels, you’ll find plenty… bring your swimwear and snorkels… you’ll never want to leave this coastline’s wonderful beaches! But if you do, consider visiting Cordoba (2hrs away), you’ll love it! or even Gibraltar!
North Norfolk – where the sun always shines

Holkham gets very busy during the summer… so get there very early!!! Great parking for your motorhome or car right next to the beach! Just bring your suncream… as it really does get ‘sizzlingly hot’. So if you’re looking to cool down, you can always try the amazing woodland Holkham Adventure playground or even visit Burham Market for an ice cream
