With summer just around the corner and Jess off on a secret getaway with her other half, my thoughts are quickly turning to holiday destinations. I am obsessed with finding colourful places to visit and with these next few months also being popular for weddings, I am sure there are lots of you considering where to honeymoon after the occasion. So I have listed my top 10 favourite colourful destinations perfect for anyone, wanting a fun little getaway this summer!
1. SANTORINI

Where to go
Oia: A small town in Santorini and perhaps the most famous, thanks to its colourful buildings that look like a picture taken straight off the front of a postcard. Jess was lucky enough to spend a few days in Oia last year and she wrote this fantastic guide, full of wonderful photos and if you want to see more check out her video.
2. LONDON

Where to go
Sayulita: A cute little hippie town famous for its colourful streets and laid back attitude, Sayulita is every surfers paradise.
Xcaret Park: An animal lover’s haven, the park is home to many attractions such as Jaguar Island, Butterfly Pavilion, Dolphin Swims & Marine turtles, with my favourite being the Manatee Lagoon. Explore the underwater caves, snorkel, visit the folk art Museum and a Mexican cemetery. Watch the Voladores De Papantla (or flying-men) and in the evening sit back and catch the Mexico Espectacular – a show all about the history and traditions of Mexico, it really is a must see! If you want to see more check out my guide and video, packed with loads more info on what to do whilst in Playa del Carmen.
