Over 60s Holidays

From Mediterranean escapes to ward off the winter gloom to spending a night in a traditional Moroccan Riad, there are so many over 60s holidays to add to the bucket list.

Whether retirement has given you a renewed taste for local and international exploration (or simply more time!), or you’re in need of new, exciting horizons, you can discover a stress-free holiday to fit your lifestyle.

Many jetsetters over 60 love our escorted tours because of the level of care we provide. Travelling with Newmarket Holidays is a safe, comfortable way to experience more of the world around you through incredible food and wine experiences, expertly-curated itineraries, high-quality accommodation, informative guides, breathtaking scenery, and unforgettable attractions. With an additional layer of choice in optional excursions and add ons, you have the flexibility to join in as little or as much you fancy. You will always be looked after on one of our escorted holidays.

With over 40 years’ experience in operating tours to bucket-list destinations, you can be confident that you will experience a relaxing holiday with us. Take a rewarding break in India and enjoy revitalising morning yoga sessions in nature, or watch the calming blue waters on a resort holiday of Northern Cyprus.

If you’re over 60 and seeking a holiday with plenty of opportunities to get active and discover the great outdoors, there’s plenty of that, too! Explore some of Italy’s most striking mountains and lakes, spot the Big Five on safari in South Africa, or venture to Spain and make your way to the top of a cliffside monastery.

With more time on your hands comes more opportunities to explore what has been right in front of you. This is why many retirees look locally and opt for over 60s holidays in the UK. Discover another side to home by journeying to the UNESCO-listed castles of Wales, cruising the sapphire waters of the Inner Hebridean islands, and ambling through the charming streets of Jersey’s St Helier.
