Five minutes ago, they enjoyed the promise of a long summer vacation period in an early spring in London Heatwave, which extended endlessly. Then they burned and now it is almost August and they have not yet booked a summer trip. Oops.
However, if you are not the organized guy – not afraid, we have done the hard work for you. Our travel guide at the last minute is Choc-Full-von offers and ideas with which you can get the best of summer, which is left of summer. You have to act quickly – availability is limited and prices (while not correct at the time of writing) do not guarantee low.
The new hotel
Take a look at an open hotel (Julie Ansiau / Mylosse)
The chic stays for the design can be booked months in advance in the high season, unless they are just open and are still flying under the radar. For example, take mylos (mylos-hotel.com, rooms from £ 306): A minimalist and modern retreat into a hill with a view of the sea in Corsician village Cargèse. Enter in the panoramic restaurant terrace of the TEO restaurant suitable by Greek and congratulate yourself that you are so disorganized.
The tropical theft
The Maldives are cut in August and September (Dhigali Maldives).
Do you dream of soft sandy shores, turquoise water and a cut-price deal? August is quiet in the Maldives when even the most luxurious properties see the tariffs of depth. It is technically wet season, but showers are often short and sharp, and many days cannot see rain at all. Turquoise Holidays (turquoiseholidays.co.uk) has a discount of 50 percent and a free room in the luxurious all-inclusive Dhigali maledives, which means that from only £ 2.699pp you pay for a whitewashed bungalow, including flights, transmissions and all Piña-Coladas that you can treat.

The active adventure

The camper van experience
Rent a motorhome van and accept your adventure feeling (Camplify)
A motorhome van vacation in Great Britain offers flexibility, value and unique thrills (they only lived until they navigated in a motorhome with hedge-dressed roads). It is also a great way to see Scotland’s unsung corners, the home of Lochs, mountain ranges and forested valleys. Rent by Camplify (Camplify.co.uk) and you will receive £ 50 discounts with Code ‘Scotland 50’ in August. You can run yourself out from London on arrival or pick up the van (the prices start at around 100 GBP per day).

The party house

The boastful family vacation
Drive camels on a traditional ranch in Kenya (yellow zebra)

The Provencal withdrawal
Escape to the romantic Provence, where the rooms 20% dike (Mr. Tripper)
Rolling hills and cooling surf, lazy, sun -drenched lunch and hill cities with thyme and lavender fragrant … Provence sings in summer. Hôtel Crillon Le Brave (crillonlebrave.com), a blonde hill enclave that looks towards Mont Ventoux and is filled with pastel fabrics and parquet floors, serves the entire Gallic imagination on a plate. It offers 15 percent discount suites in August and saves them around 80 pounds per night – enough to finance a fabulous bottle of rosé (or two) during dinner.
The hiding place of the couples
You can get a discount on selected National Trust Tiny Properties this month (National Trust Images Mike Henton)
The National Trust is not just all big old country houses. The extensive holiday home portfolio (nationaltrust.org.uk) contains dozens of diminutives – but no less impressive – only for two people. Regardless of whether you decide the Roseland Old School House (from 234 £ for two nights), the sea through a Gothic window in Regency or the chalet in Tan Yr OGOF (from £ 140 for two nights) from Snowdonia, a first -class selection of “Tiny Cottages” is 10 percent free.
The all-inclusive family

The wellness weekend

If you have to take off the telephone trend, take care of Careys Manor Hotel & Senspa (Careysmanor.com) in New Forest, where “digital detoxification” (two nights from £ 493pp including breakfast and dinner with dinner) literally lock your phone away in an amnesty box. Instead of scrolling, fill the time that are overgrown with new forest ponies, in hydrotherapy pools, the treatment of a couple and the treatment of a couple of couples who ride a basket of charity (i.e. Kombucha, aromatherapy -balm).
The boat industry
Cruise to Bad over the Dundas -Aquäduct (Canal & River Trust)
Bath is clogged quite touristically in summer, so approach the city from a very new angle with a lot of Mores-Sere das, the rear of the narrow boat, while you can quickly know the leafy and slide Avon Canal. It is a 10-hour trip to the Georgian city of the Drifters (drifter.co.uk) in devices, which runs through locks, over aqueducts and (essentially) via stop-offs in atmospheric pubs. A three-night break with a narrow boat that sleeps seven costs 950 GBP from August 15th to 17th, a saving of £ 1,101.
The Solo short vacation
Meet other solo travelers at the pool in Turkey (Soli holidays)
Just because they are traveling alone does not mean that they have to compromise during a break at the last minute. On the north coast of Bodrum, the Beyaz Suite Hotel is your home for a group trip with seven nights on which you swim, eat, eat a mountain jeep safari and explore a 16th century castle with other solo travelers.
