If you have time to go long-haul in May as a family, then Florida may well be worth adding to your bucket list. The plethora of parks and attractions at Walt Disney World will keep all the kids entertained and there are shops and restaurants galore that will help add to the epic experience. Whether you want to go for the thrills and spills of the theme parks or simply want to soak up the sun by your villa or hotel pool, Florida offers something for everyone.

Stylish Santorini is one of the most sought-after island destinations with the deep blue caldera and white-washed houses creating the perfect backdrop for Insta-worthy photography. May is a calmer time of year to travel than the peak of summer (when the cruise ships arrive and temperatures and prices are high!) and with direct flights arriving from all over Europe is it really easily accessible.

Alicante is a wonderful destination for May as it works well as both a city break and as a family-friendly half-term holiday. With sights such as the Santa Bárbara Castle, the MARQ Archaeological Museum and the Explanada de España not to mention the vast array of amazing beaches, there's enough to keep the whole family entertained. Whether you visit Alicante for a couple of days or for an extended holiday, you'll be sure to fall in love with its beauty and charm.
