It looks like the world cannot get over the number of holidays that a certain WAG Coleen Rooney has taken so far this year. If the papers are to be believed, she has jet-setted off to no less than 10 different resorts, racking up a cool £200,000 worth of holidays – and the year’s not even out yet. Splashing out on a few breaks is perfectly fine if you’re married to a footballer who happens to earn millions, but what if you’d like to holiday like a WAG but don’t have the bank balances to do it? Well with coach holidays you can live the budget WAG lifestyle and not snap the purse-strings in the process. Just take a look at where you can go…
The Caribbean
Coleen may have jetted off to Barbados with the rest of her family to stay in their rather plush £5 million villa, but some of us mere mortals can only dream of living this lavish lifestyle without a win on the EuroMillions. However, you can still take a break on this beautiful island with escorted touring holidays to The Caribbean that won’t break the bank. With many packages being on an all-inclusive basis, all you need to take with you is some spending money (and your clothes, obviously)!
The budget alternative: return flights, 13 night full board cruise, your choice of cabin and an exciting itinerary from only £1450pp
Ibiza
This little island of the Balearics is fast becoming a must-visit (or must be snapped by paparazzi whilst visiting) for many celebrities and because of this, you may find that the price you pay for drinks and club entry are a lot more than what you are used to paying back in the UK. Coleen tends to holiday regularly here with her girlfriends, sunning it on the beaches then partying all night long.
The budget alternative: return flights, coach travel, all inclusive basis & excursions from £399pp
St Tropez
It wasn’t long after she ‘glamped’ it up at Glastonbury before Coleen was packing her suitcase yet again for a luxurious break in the beautiful French Riviera, staying with her hubby and friends in St Tropez. This is another one of those resorts filled to the rafters with A-listers, with many choosing to get married or to honeymoon here, so if you love a bit of celeb-spotting then a trip here should definitely feature high on your agenda.
The budget alternative: return flights, coach travel in resort, 5 nights B&B and excursions from only £339pp
Las Vegas
The Rooneys simply cannot get enough of Vegas since they honeymooned here in 2008, choosing to take a break here every summer and staying in the same luxury suite at the five-star Wynn Hotel on the Strip. You don’t have to spend a fortune to visit the bright lights of Las Vegas though – Lady Luck is definitely on your side with the budget version of The Rooney’s breakaway.
The budget alternative: room only accommodation, return flights, coach travel & included excursions from only £869pp
Italy
Many of us already know that Portofino in Italy is literally a playground for the rich and famous, so no wonder The Rooneys and other Premier League footballers head here for their holidays. Portofino is a beautiful little town nestling on a rocky outcrop overlooking the stunning Italian Riviera. With one visit, you’ll soon understand why The Rooney’s spent a rumoured £5 million on their wedding here. Some of you may find you’ll need some serious doe to afford the luxurious chic hotels here, so why not opt for neighbouring Rome and perhaps enjoy a day excursion to Portofino instead?
The budget alternative: return coach travel throughout, four nights B&B and included excursions from only £299pp
Prague
When The Rooneys hit a rough patch during their marriage, Wayne is rumoured to have followed Coleen to the beautiful city of Prague during her photo shoot for the Littlewoods campaign. For them, it was a kind of ‘make or break’ trip, but don’t let this put you off from city breaks to The Czech Republic as this region of Eastern Europe is full of romance. So much so that it could rival Paris for the accolade of ‘most romantic place in the world’.
The budget alternative: return flights, coach travel in resort, 3 nights B&B from only £229pp
