Top holiday trends 2025 revealed from detours to hotel restaurants – does your favourite getaway hack make the list?
THE top holiday trends for 2025 include ‘Detour Destinations’, ‘JOMO Travel’ and the ‘Hotel Restaurant Renaissance’, according to Expedia Group.
The travel company believes travellers in the upcoming year will not only visit the tried-and-true tourist destinations – they’ll also be adding detours to their time away.

With Reims being the perfect stop off when travelling to Paris, and Brescia in Italy the perfect distance from Milan.
The Hotels.com arm of the travel group has also seen a rise in tourists looking for ‘standout dining experiences’, seeing a 40 per cent year-on-year increase in positive reviews about hotel restaurants.
While travellers are taking advantage of hotels around the world opening critically-acclaimed restaurants featuring Michelin-starred chefs and seasonal menus.
It comes after research of 25,000 respondents across 19 countries found young adults are bringing back the all-inclusive.
With the new wave of these types of hotels offering margarita minibars and foam parties on-site and wellness activities to attract Gen Z travellers looking for stress-free stays and a good deal.
And as many as 43 per cent claim an all-encompassing resort would be their preferred holiday type.
The report also found FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is a thing of the past, with most opting for JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) travel instead.
This leads to travellers doing less on holiday to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, instead staying at cosy cabins or peaceful beach houses, according to Vrbo.
A spokesperson for the travel company, which released the trends as part of its ‘Unpack ’25’ report, said: “We aim to continuously work to blend technology with travel, making journeys simpler and more enjoyable.
“The Unpack report is our opportunity to reflect on what travellers are seeking and how our partners are innovating.”
“From this year’s trends, I’m eager to book a One-Click Trip and visit some Detour Destinations for my next holiday.”
Another trend identified by Expedia is the ‘Goods Getaway’, which sees travellers heading far afield for specific purchases.
Driven by TikTok trends, these might see people tracking down a viral chocolate bar from Dubai, butter from France, skincare products from Korea or Japanese sweets.
Top holiday trends for 2025
Detour Destinations – visiting other hotspots near the main destination.
Goods Getaways – holidaying specifically to buy a viral product.
All Inclusive Eras – a rise in Gen Z looking for all-inclusive trips.
Hotel Restaurant Renaissance – travellers booking hotel restaurants more often.
JOMO Travel – doing less on holiday, and loving it.
The Phenomena-List – travelling to see natural wonders.
Set-Jetting – trips that take in famous sights from TV or movies.
One-Click Trips – shoppable travel storefronts curated by social media curators.
Meanwhile, the ‘Phenomena-List’, from Vrbo, highlights the best times of year to jet around the world to see some of the most incredible natural phenomena around the globe.
It recommends February and March for the Ballet of the Japanese Cranes, and July to September to see the incredible bioluminescent plankton at Vero Beach, Florida.

Beachfront city a few hours from the UK where its currently 27C – and has some of the cheapest all-inclusive resorts
IF you’re after a last-minute blast of heat without having to shell out thousands of pounds, there is a city near the UK that ticks both boxes.
Morocco’s Agadir is hitting 27C this week – and it was named one of the cheapest places for all-inclusive breaks.

Earlier this year, a study by Which? that looked at prices of more than 3,500 package holidays found Agadir to be one of the cheapest.
We found a number of seven-night, all-inclusive breaks for less than £300 each, even when staying at a four star resort.
Agadir, the largest seaside resort in Morocco, has as many as 300 days of sunshine.
According to Morocco Tourism, Agadir is “one of the pearls of Morocco” thanks to its great climate, beaches and attractions.
It’s popular with surfers due to the huge waves across the eight mile beach, lined with golden sand and loungers you can rent.
Despite being ‘founded’ by the Portuguese in the 1500s, the entire city was destroyed by an earthquake in the 1960s, so has since been rebuilt.
While this means you can expect more of a European-feel to the city, that doesn’t mean you can’t experience the Moroccan lifestyle.
Local experiences that tourists should try are hammans, Moroccan spas, as well as a visit to the markets.
One of the largest is Souk El Had which has more than 6,000 stalls with homewares and food.
And the standout attraction is the towering Mohamed V Mosque, a modern addition to the city after the rebuild.
Want something more adventurous? You can book desert tours and quad bike safari trips in Agadir too.
Flights from the UK are just under four hours, with Ryanair and easyJet offering fares from £14.99, flying from a number of airports.
And Jet2 has now launched flights from both Leeds and Bristol to Agadir this month.
But if you want an all-inclusive break, one of the best value is with Loveholidays, staying at the three -star Caribbean Village Agador – costing £299 when all-inclusive.

A similar priced resort is El Pueblo Tamlelt, but if you want something fancier, four-star all-inclusives can still be found for around £350 each.
TUI has some great winter sun breaks too, when staying at their TUI Blue Riu Tikida Beach, or the TUI Suneo resort.
Otherwise there are a number of hotel chain names you can book yourself, such as Hotel RUI and Sofitel.
If you want to explore the rest of Morocco, we’ve found some great alternatives too.
Taroudant is much smaller in size than Marrakesh, and also considered calmer and less crowded – here’s everything you need to know.
And we’ve explained why you should visit the coastal city of Essaouira.
