Holidays for two - for less than £1,000

Gozo - It’s Malta in miniature, and admittedly that makes it very, very small indeed, but nevertheless there’s room for more than 50 generously domed churches, Europe’s oldest temples and some of the best dive sites on the Med.

Original Travel (020 7978 7333, originaltravel.co.uk) recommends the thoroughly modern three-star San Andrea hotel, which has a spectacular location overlooking beautiful Xlendi Bay, and a rooftop terrace to ensure you can enjoy those views to the max. A week costs £880, B&B, in May.
