A holiday can be whatever you want it to be. Whether you enjoy relaxing in the sun with a cool drink or exploring some beautiful coastlines, a holiday can be as action-packed or as chilled out as you want.

The one thing that every holiday should be is stress free. When you’ve been working hard and saving up the pennies, you deserve to have the best holiday you can possibly have. That means not having to worry about the little, annoying things, like airport transfers or where the nearest supermarket is. That means choosing an all-inclusive provider that can take care of the smaller details for you.

If you want to take some time for you, then Club Med luxury breaks are what you’re looking for. They offer a range of tailor-made, all-inclusive holidays designed to give you the best possible experience.

In 2013, the exotic is never too far away. In addition to the traditional favourites of Italy, France and Turkey, you can now experience far-flung locations in luxury surroundings. From the intimate atmosphere of your own private riad in Marrakech, lazing in the shade of the palm trees, to the stunning azure waters of gorgeous Mauritius, scuba diving amongst tropical fish, you can now open your mind to places you never thought you’d get to visit.

One such place is the magical Maldives, somewhere fully deserving of the label ‘paradise’. Your own luxury suite, suspended on stilts in the midst of a sparkling turquoise lagoon, it provides all the modern conveniences of 21st century living, whilst enabling you to fully absorb all the natural beauty around you. Wherever else you travel, the white sands of the Maldives will leave you wanting to come back to time and time again.

Or perhaps you’d prefer somewhere a little more familiar, if no less spectacular. The stunning greenery and invigorating mountain air, France’s Val d’Isere and Valmorel have to be seen to be believed. The views are even better enjoyed from the serenity of your own private chalet balcony, enjoying the sunrise with a fresh cup of coffee or the sunset with a soothing glass of vintage red wine.

For those wishing to try the alluring beaches of the tropics, it is also possible to sample a once in a lifetime trip to Cancun, Mexico. You could take a day trip to one of the seven wonders of the world, Chichen Itza, or have the unforgettable experience of swimming with dolphins. Or perhaps just to relax in the Five Trident Luxury Space, with concierge and room service, as well as your own private minibar.

Wherever you want to be, Club Med can take you there.
