A new survey has revealed the best – and possibly worst – destinations to visit on a first holiday as a couple. More than 2,000 people took part in the poll by sunshine.co.uk, around half of whom had broken up with their other half within the last six months that they had been on holiday with during the relationship. The remaining participants were in a happy relationship of three years or more, and had also been on a holiday with their partner.
Of those who had separated from their partner, they were asked where they had spent their first holiday together as a couple. The top answer was Mexico (21%), followed by Ibiza (17%) and Portugal (12%). Cape Verde (9%) and Lanzarote (7%) rounded off the top five responses.
Those in happy relationships were asked where they has spent their other half, to determine which destinations might result in happier, longer relationships if chosen as the place to holiday together as a couple for the first time. The top five results were Tenerife (18%), Italy (15%), Cyprus (13%), Majorca (10%), and Mainland Spain (9%).
Each respondent was then asked if they had argued with their other half during their first holiday together, to which 73% said yes. When pushed for what had caused the disagreement, 28% said running late (i.e. for the airport) was the main factor, with 'what to do/how to spend our time' (21%) and 'staring/ogling at other people/flirting' (20%) also proved to be common answers.
Commenting on the findings, Sue Anderson, sunshine.co.uk, said: "It's interesting there was no crossover of destinations on both lists, as this makes us think perhaps there really is some truth in this.
"Holidays to Mexico require a bit more of a splurge than some of the other destinations on the breakup list and Ibiza is known for its carefree-party vibes, so maybe frivolous spending and too much partying are what spells future trouble for relationships.
"Those wishing to enjoy a long and lasting, happy relationship with their new partners should look at booking places like Tenerife and Italy for their first trip with their amore, if this study is anything to go by; but Mexico should definitely be avoided."
