If you want panoramic views, the ultimate in luxury and something a little bit different then a lighthouse vacation is the holiday for you.
Most lighthouses are situated in remote areas offering visitors the ultimate getaway. However, if you’re not one for being away from it all there are several lighthouses available to rent that are just short walks from the city centre. Harlington Lighthouse in Holland for example looks down on the city and docks directly below.
Inside, lighthouses are surprisingly spacious; however, some of the steps and ladders are steep so it is best to travel light! Hauling three suitcases of clothes and two holdalls of shoes up a tiny ladder will not be your idea of a holiday!
If you’re worried that the lighthouse you stay in may be a little dated then worry not. All lighthouses that are used as hotels or bed and breakfasts are beautifully restored although most try to retain some of the original nautical features too.
Lighthouse hotels are a favourite with newlyweds and are popular honeymoon locations. Not surprising really when you consider the attributes - miles away from anyone else, cosy rooms with luxury furniture and stunning views.
If you’re looking for a holiday that has that little something extra and want accommodation that is both cosy and cool, romantic and different then a lighthouse vacation is ideal and with many providers with lighthouses all over Europe and the US, you’re spoilt for choice.
