Multi centre holidays are great because they let you roll two or more destinations into one. Take Cuba. An island packed with variety, from vibrant city life in Havana to idyllic seaside resorts. Or Hawaii, six islands each with its own unique character. It seems a shame to go all that way and not see as much as possible, especially when you’ve got a couple of weeks or more free. Another advantage of multi-centre holidays is that everything’s arranged for you. OK, so you could book your flights and hotels separately and find out the best way to get yourself and your luggage a few hundred miles. But why bother when a multi centre holiday does all the faffing about for you? We are great believers in taking the path of least resistance!

You can pick up some great bargain multi-centre holidays in a wonderful array of destinations, and they’re becoming more and more popular. Mix and match holiday experiences in some of the coolest places, from the Maldives to Dubai, Egypt to Mauritius and Sri Lanka. Try and book all the bits and bobs separately and you’ll soon realise that it is often much better value for money to book a multicentre holiday and have done with it. Most operators combine some time in a major city with a relaxing stay on the beach. So you might hot foot it to Cairo to revel in the chaos and colour for a week, then head off to Sharm El Sheikh beach for a week doing very little except remain contentedly horizontal.

Obviously you’ll need a decent chunk of time to fully appreciate a multicentre holiday. India’s a great multicentre destination and the longer holiday you can swing, the more you’ll fit in. If India dings your bell there are absolutely loads of multicentre packages on the market. Ten nights is a good starting point: how about a couple of nights in a posh Bangalore hotel followed by a week on the beach at Sagara, with flights and transfers thrown in?

Does that sound like you kind of thing? Book your multicentre holidays here!
