The most sought-after UK breaks for couples have 'coastal charm and picturesque landscapes'

East Anglia is the most sought-after destination for couples in 2025, followed by Wales. This is according to the latest research from Parkdean Resorts.

It highlighted a trend in shorter and more affordable romantic breaks, and these locations offer both value and convenience.

East Anglia is home to "open beaches and quaint seaside towns" while being easily accessible from many major cities. Think Norwich, Cambridge, Great Yarmouth and Cromer for a break in the region.

Norwich is ideal for couples who prefer a historical break. Holidaymakers can stroll through cobbled, medieval streets or visit historical monuments, its castle and cathedral.

Or, consider Cambridge, where you can take a boat ride down the River Cam, wander through vibrant parks or even sign up for a guided walking tour.

If that's not for you, Wales has also surfaced as a key destination for couples. The country has fantastic picks for nature lovers. Climb up Snowdonia for spectacular views in the north of Wales, or visit peaceful beaches such as Rhossili Bay in the south.

The experts added: "The coastal charm and picturesque landscapes of the region make it a firm favourite, particularly among couples seeking a romantic, nature-filled escape."

The research shows most Britons are searching for convenience when booking their trips, so look for destinations that have train stations or are easily accessible by car.

The experts added: “One of the biggest factors driving the growth in demand for UK staycations is the value for money they offer.

"Our research shows that 61 per cent of UK holidaymakers believe domestic holidays provide better value than trips abroad, with 54 per cent citing cost as the primary reason for choosing a destination closer to home.

"Convenience is another key factor, with 70 per cent of UK holidaymakers saying ease of travel is a top reason to staycation.

"With 65 holiday parks across the UK, Parkdean Resorts puts millions of holidaymakers within just a few hours of a coastal or countryside retreat, making spontaneous or last-minute breaks simple and accessible.”
