Travel Inspirations
Written by the Sandaya team

May, the ideal month to get away for a few days before the summer holidays! With the mild spring weather and long weekends, it’s the perfect time for you and your family to take a well-deserved break… But where to go in May? Whether you opt for the seaside, countryside or a cultural escapade, create your own custom getaway with Sandaya!

Brittany: for its sea air and authentic charm

For a long weekend in May, pick a stay in Brittany and enjoy the stunning beaches that line the Atlantic Ocean. And if you’re feeling adventurous, why not hop aboard a three-masted sailing ship to explore the Breton archipelagos? Belle-Île-en-Mer, Groix, the Glénan Islands, there’s so much to discover…

If we say Saint-Malo, Rennes, Cancale, Dinard… do you know where we are? Yes, it’s the Ille-et-Vilaine! Here you can embark on a cultural getaway, including a visit to Mont-Saint-Michel. Meanwhile, nature lovers will appreciate the unspoilt environment of the Côtes-d’Armor, where beaches and coves look out on mesmerising turquoise waters.

New Aquitaine: embrace nature by the sea

Dreaming of nature, lazy days by the sea and scenic hiking trails? But where to find all that in May...? In the Nouvelle-Aquitaine, take in the serene countryside of the Dordogne and the sweeping pine forests of the Landes de Gascogne – two distinct destinations, each offering a welcome dose of fresh air.

Beyond forest walks, enjoy Europe’s largest beach and the vast lakes of the Aquitaine for a family holiday or romantic escapade by the water’s edge.

2

Occitanie: a refreshingly sunny destination!

Looking to avoid the summer crowds at the seaside? Then take a break in the Languedoc-Roussillon over the May bank holidays!

With very pleasant spring temperatures and plenty of sunshine, you can even plan a dip in the Mediterranean if you’re staying in Montpellier, in the Hérault.

On a camping holiday in the Aude in Occitanie, you’ll find water wherever you turn! If you’re into kitesurfing or surfing, head for the beaches of Leucate! Or perhaps you prefer outdoor activities immersed in nature? Set off on an adventure through mountains and vineyards – on a hike, on horseback or on an unforgettable excursion!

3

Valencia: where culture meets Mediterranean beaches

The great thing about Valencia, in the Valencian Community, is that it has everything you need for a flawless cultural getaway – just steps from the Mediterranean beaches!

It’s a little corner of paradise in Spain, inviting you to embrace the Spanish pace of life with its long, leisurely days! Explore the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia with your special someone or a gang of friends. And why not take the chance to visit the Museum of Fine Arts in Castellón while you’re here?

4

Tuscany: for its breathtaking scenery and gastronomy

How about treating yourself to a long camping weekend in Tuscany this May?

Think Italian gastronomy, idyllic surroundings, rich heritage and gorgeous green landscapes… there’s all you need for the perfect getaway in western Italy!

Share a moment of fulfilment with your soulmate in Vada, where time seems to stand still so you can enjoy the rolling Tuscan countryside and the sea of azure. Continue to rest and recharge amidst the green hills and the Tyrrhenian Sea with a trip to Marina di Castagneto Carducci.
