Your ideal holiday destination will likely change with age, as what appealed in your 20s and 30s may not be your idea of fun in your 40s, 50s and beyond.
Speaking exclusively to GB News, an expert named some of the best places to visit, and shared travel tips for older holidaymakers.
If looking for a relaxing holiday where you can explore a new culture at a leisurely pace, consider places with good public transport and easier walking terrain, CEO at CalltheCare Alexander Desoto advised.
He called these the "most important" things to consider. The travel pro said: "Choose places that are elderly-friendly - places with good access to healthcare, moderate climate, and easy-to-reach infrastructure for restricted mobility, if necessary.
The Canary Islands are good for accessibility

"Lisbon, Rome, and Prague are beautiful but full of hills and cobblestones, which can be a struggle for joints, so worth checking if there are lifts in a hotel or if the public transport is accessible.
"Alternatively, destinations like the Canary Islands, Spain's southern regions, or even Danube river cruises offer equally beautiful settings but with a slightly more leisurely approach for older tourists."
The Canary Islands are popular for their white sandy beaches, delicious cuisine and beautiful weather. Many beaches, restaurants and attractions are also adapted to give a good level of accessibility.
Alternatively, cruises and boat excursions, like those down the Danube river, are great for seeing the views in a luxurious and enjoyable setting.
Once you've landed on your ideal destination, Alexander suggested finding the right travel insurance to give you peace of mind during the trip. He continued: "I also always advise tourists above 50 to obtain full travel insurance, especially if they have pre-existing medical issues.
"Policies just for seniors typically provide coverage for cancellations, medical emergencies, and even lost prescriptions - something to think about if you're taking daily medications.
"And on the subject of medications, I always tell people to bring at least double the amount of any medication you might need and to put them in your carry-on and checked bag in case of delays or lost luggage.
"It's a good idea to bring a printed list of your meds, dosages, and generic names, in case you need something refilled abroad."

Consider a cruise down the Danube River
GETTYIf you do land on a cruise for your 2025 holiday, experts have shared little-known booking tips for over 50s that will "make choosing the perfect one easier". First-time cruisegoers may be surprised to know how much time they will spend on board a ship.
Therefore, you must make sure the ship you choose is tailored towards the type of holiday you want to have.
The travel expert said: "Cruising isn't just about the ports. Onboard lectures, cooking classes, wine tastings, and quiet spaces, as well as multiple restaurants, fun entertainment, and onboard activities, can make a good cruise exceptional.
"If you like early mornings and enrichment, avoid ships known for their nightlife and nonstop activity. Some cruise lines cater to 'active relaxers', others to social butterflies."
