If you’re already dreaming of your 2025 getaway, you’ll be chuffed to hear that Spain has snagged not one, but two spots on Bloomberg’s list of top destinations.
From the sun-kissed shores of the Canary Islands to the historic charm of Seville, Spain is proving to be a real winner for holidaymakers next year.
Canary Islands: A sun-drenched paradise offering luxury and relaxation
Looking for a guaranteed dose of sunshine? Look no further than the Canary Islands. With their year-round mild climate and stunning landscapes, this archipelago has always been a popular choice. But in 2025, they’re upping the ante with a touch of extra luxury. Bloomberg highlights the arrival of two swanky new hotels on Lanzarote – the Grand Hyatt and the Alila – which are sure to attract even the most discerning travellers.
But don’t worry, you don’t need to be rolling in it to enjoy this island paradise. There are plenty of holiday rentals to suit all budgets, and if you’re thinking of making a more permanent move, property prices are still reasonable, averaging around €2,789 per square metre.
Whether you’re after a week-long escape or a new life in the sun, the Canaries are ready to welcome you with open arms (and gorgeous sandy beaches, of course).
Seville: A blend of history and modernity in true Andalusian style
The Andalusian capital of Seville is the other Spanish gem highlighted by Bloomberg. Famous for its iconic landmarks like the cathedral and the Alcázar palace, Seville isn’t just about looking back at the past. This vibrant city seamlessly blends history with a modern edge.
Take ‘Las Setas,’ for example – a striking, contemporary architectural structure that dominates the city centre. It’s a proper eye-catcher! And when it comes to places to stay, Seville has something for everyone. Stylish boutique hotels in the city centre cater to those seeking a touch of luxury, while a wide range of holiday rentals offer more affordable options.
With average property prices at around €2,371 per square metre, owning a little slice of Seville could be more achievable than you think. Fancy swapping those rainy British mornings for sunny days and the sound of flamenco guitars? Seville might just be the perfect place to put down some roots.
Spain Shines bright: A Must-visit destination for 2025 travel
While the Canary Islands and Seville are flying the flag for Spain, Bloomberg’s list also features some other tempting destinations. In Europe, Rotterdam is offering a cultural getaway with the opening of the Fenix Museum, while Rome is gearing up for its Jubilee celebrations. Further afield, the Outer Islands of the Bahamas are vying for attention alongside the Greek islands of Paros and Antiparos.
And if you’re looking for something more exotic, Bloomberg suggests exploring the hidden treasures of Algeria or the beaches of São Tomé and Príncipe. But amidst this global array of tempting destinations, Spain stands out as a top choice.
Why travel the world when you’ve got such fantastic options right on your doorstep (or a short flight away)? It seems Spain is set to be the place to be in 2025!
