Taking a trip to see some of the 'best' the world has to offer feels like an absolute no brainer when you can do just that for less than the price of a takeaway.
Travelling overseas has never been easier or more affordable, with airlines such as Ryanair on occasion even offering flights from as low as £3.
You can even find yourself in Las Vegas for less than £100 through the latest 'mystery holiday' craze.

And everyone loves a beach. No matter what time of year, the idea of lying down on the sand and listening to the waves is bliss to millions of us.
Some of the world's beaches offer a different experience to that - and they come with a deadly warning.
But for most Brits, nowhere beats Spain.

In 2022, more than 15 million of us took flights to the Mediterranean country. And while lower than the heights of 2017 where 18.8 million of us visited, it was an almost immediate return to pre-pandemic tourism heights and more than every year from 2010 to 2015.
And according to travel website The World's 50 Best Beaches, the country is home to one of the top 25 beaches on the planet.
But it's not on the mainland and is about 300 kilometres easy of Spanish city of Valencia.
You can find this tiny beach on the island of Mallorca. Sometimes spelt Majorca, the Balearic Island is joined in the Mediterranean Sea by Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera, and numerous smaller islands.

It's located nowhere near the island's main destination of Palma, which is home to the it's only international airport.
Instead, you can find it a small car journey away on the south east of the island next to the resort of Cala Llombards.
The beach we're on about is Calo del Moro.

It's Spain's best beach, and the 23rd best in the entire world. It's described as 'one of the last paradises of Mallorca' and we can totally understand why.
Found in a small cove tucked in from the main seafront, it boasts shallow, turquoise water that is truly out of this world.
Calo del Moro is tiny, with it probably a better location for those who enjoy being in the water to sunbathing given its size and rocky nature. You also might not want to spend the whole day there either, with no cafe or restaurant on site.

You'll need to walk down from the the cliff tops to get to the beach, with a makeshift car park found a short walk away.
There's a number of resort locations nearby, such as Cala Santanyi, Se Torre Nova, and Son Moja. But it's not far for anyone on the southern side of the island.
Direct flights to Mallorca from the UK start at £14.99 from Birmingham and London Southend with easyJet, and £14.99 from Birmingham and Edinburgh with Ryanair.
You can also fly from Manchester, London Luton, Southampton, Bristol and Belfast for a few quid more.
