To
gift experiences has become increasingly more fashionable. Trips, gastronomic breaks, camping,
routes for active tourism or sessions of spa and wellness..... With the busy lifestyle
imposed by work, childcare or studies, the few opportunities to enjoy life away
from everyday routine, become authentic luxurious moments, which one has to
take advantage of, to the maximum and without limits.
Experiences
as a couple are of the most versatile and differentiated because the supply and
demand are both very high. Many couples
decide to take a few days away from their family obligations, a week
together where they can do all the things that due to every day rhythm of life,
have to be parked for another occasion, a romantic dinner in a gourmet
restaurant, in the afternoon a shopping trip together, go to the theatre or
simply relax on a deserted beach...
January and February are the best months to plan a gift-experience to enjoy
with your partner at any time of the year.
Saint Valentine's Day, for example, the prices in the tourist
sector, are well below the average and it is possible to find offers at hotels in Madrid,
Barcelona, including beach hotels in
Fuerteventura or Tenerife at an exceptional price.

Although
there are predesigned packages of experiences on sale at some of the larger
stores, the best thing is to organise personally the gift because this allows you to maximize the personalization of the experience. Also, if one is flexible regarding dates and destinations and has some patience and a certain flair when using internet, it is possible to find some truly excellent holiday bargains. The cheapest are normally the hotels in Benidorm,
and in general the Costa Blanca but you can also decide to book a four
star hotel with spa in Lloret de Mar,
from 37€ per night, if you book well
in advance....
In
fact, it is precisely in the month of January that the majority of the booking
campaigns start to operate, such as Early Booking in Spain, and with
luck you can also find romantic breaks at luxury
hotels in Tenerife, or Majorca at cost price.
Book
directly on the hotel official web sites, which contrary to popular
belief, can result in a discount from between 5 and 20% on the price
that can be found on intermediaries sites such as Booking or Expedia, options
that are very interesting when booking last minute accommodation.

If
the surprise gift is for the other side of the Atlantic, it is possible that
the maximum saving will be on the airline tickets rather than the hotel because
hotels in Mexico,
Santo Domingo, Cuba and in general all the Caribbean, work with three seasons
and different requirements to those of the Spanish market. Their principal
tourist is from North America and the prices vary according to their holiday
calendar.
However,
if the journey is booked now for October-November with the whole package of transport-hotel-all
inclusive, it is possible to find an interesting offer to spend a week on a
paradisiac beach by the sea for little more than 800 € per person. The luxury hotels in the
Caribbean, for example, have special offers for the winter to travel from January to April. In this case it is possible to enjoy 8 days in an 5
star hotel in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with accommodation in a
junior Suite with sea view and all inclusive for approximately 1,000€ per person.
