Make a collective plan

Planning a vacation can prove to be a difficult task at the best of times, but even more so when you are travelling together in a group. You need to make sure that you are all on the same page about what sort of vacation you are looking for and find some common ground. Whether you are longing for a sun-soaked getaway on the beach or you would prefer to embark on a more active holiday such as a biking tour, come together as a group and work out what sort of trip would cater to all your wishes. 

Set a budget

Once you and your pals have come to an agreement about what sort of vacation ticks all the boxes, the next thing you need to do is set a realistic budget. When you come to make plans for a vacation, you can often get caught up in all the excitement and not think clearly about how much your trip will cost. From the offset, set a budget that works for you all and from there you can think about what sort of trip you can afford. You want your vacation to be the adventure of a lifetime, but equally, you need to make sure you save enough money to spend when you are there and for any potential additional costs you may encounter while you are away.

Pick the right destination

With so many options to choose from, whether it’s home or abroad, it can be hard to figure out where exactly you and your friends should go. Consider the type of activities you want to take part in and what sort of weather you are hoping to encounter, and this will help you determine the best location for your upcoming destination.

Find your accommodation

If you are travelling in a large group, booking a villa or another form of private accommodation could be best. That way you can have the privacy of your own space and enjoy time spent together away from other holidaymakers. That being said, booking a hotel or apartment with your friends means you can make the most of all of the amenities and services, such as onsite restaurants and bars.

Create an itinerary

You want to create memories that will last a lifetime on your vacation, and the best way to ensure this happens is to plan ahead and create a fun-filled itinerary full of activities and excursions. You could look at booking a sightseeing tour or a boat trip, or find the best bars, restaurants or clubs and secure a table for a special evening together. You want to make sure you have equal amounts of time relaxing as you do exploring, so setting an itinerary will make this more manageable.
