If you’ve never experienced a Greek Easter, winter time in the Alps, or summer in the Balearics, you’re missing out. Still, there’s plenty of time to book your luxury home rental and jet off to pastures new.

To help you with the all-important decision of where to go, we’ve hand-picked our favourite destinations by season. Here’s four good excuses to get packing your bags…

If you’re looking for an early blast of sunshine in the season, Greece is the word! With a gorgeous climate, the weather starts to heat up from May time, making it superb for a cheeky dip in the luscious Ionian sea.

Another reason to visit in spring is for Easter (also May) – the biggest religious celebration in the Orthodox calendar. For all the luxury feels, the beautiful island of Zakynthos has luxury villa rentals, jaw-dropping beaches, and plenty of famed Greek hospitality to enjoy.

Come summer time, Europe is in full swing. The Balearic Islands attract an eclectic up-for-it European crowd, with its famous night life and good times to be had.

If you’re looking for more chill, less thrill, Mallorca is the quieter, more ‘grown-up’ of the islands. From hiking in the hillside, to a round of golf with friends, or a soothing spa treatment in the mountains. There’s also a cluster of fine restaurants dotted around the island for foodies to enjoy. Simply put, Mallorca has it all, and with a hint of panache. You’ll fit right in with a superyacht, private Mallorca villa rental and good company.

When the seasons start to change, there’s nowhere more beautiful than the French countryside.

Fall in Bordeaux is a great time to visit. The tourists have mostly disbanded, there’s the beauty of the crisp autumnal leaves, and the climate is temperate, making it perfect for walking around vineyards and taking striking photos. With it being grape harvest time, it’s also a good time to learn more about the distillation process.

Settle into the slower way of life. Read a book, enjoy a slow glass of local wine, and take it all in from your luxury vacation home. It’s the restful break you’ve been longing for.

If the thought of cosy log fires and snuggling up in your French Alps home rental, gives you all the festive feels, then don’t delay a vacation to the Alps.

Families, couples, singles – all are welcome, and there’s no better season to enjoy than winter. With world-famous runs, and varied terrains, the ski and snow resorts here are dedicated to all level of talent, from starters to pros.

But that’s not all. There’s a bustling night life that goes with Alpine living; think gooey cheese fondue in mountain top restaurants, followed by karaoke in a chalet, and dancing till dawn with a Euro crowd! There’s always something fun going on, and great food and drink to wash it down with.
