Holiday for 16 year olds

So me and my boyfriend are looking for a holiday to go on independently after i've finished my GCSEs and he finishes his first year of A levels. I am 16 and he is 17. I have currently looked around and many people say that it is easy to get a travel lodge or hostel in the UK for 16 year olds - but i would much prefer to be abroad. Flying isn't a problem as I've called many airlines etc and visited sites and they allow it, but its finding the hotel. I'd prefer not to stay in a hostel abroad and money isn't a problem. PLEASE HELP!! (we really need a holiday after all those exams ahahah)

I don't really mind, i'd like to do some sight seeing but i'd also be quite laid back by a pool or beach. If i find any hotel which accepts under 18s i'll grab the chance!

Looks beautiful and would love to go but do they accept under 18s? And man I'm so nervous for results day, there were some hard exams this year. And netflix is the way to go, and don't even get me started on the love for cheese puffs! screw relationships hahaha

ah that sounds like a option! could you possibly send me a link to one or something? i would be so grateful! Also do you know whether they fly there and if so, how do they carry all their camping equipment?
Well, there are many places. If you have never visited Paris, it could be a good place to visit. Not to say a romantic place. It really depends what type of holiday you want. A romantic holiday, or you want to explore other countries. Also, camping can be nice... there are some nice camping areas in the UK from what I have heard.

The place they go to they either fly into Alicante or Valencia. Not sure where they camp though, whatever Google comes back with under "Benicassim campsite".

I think they just pack it into a big rucksack and most of it is lightweight so would be within the limits!

i have had a look at places in Paris as i love it there and visited it a lot with my parents - but i haven't found any hotels which accept under 18s. Do you happen to know of any? I really don't mind the type of holiday as I'm very broad minded, if i find any where that accepts under 18s/ 16 year olds i will grab the chance. Camping is an option but id rather do it abroad to avoid the terrible british weather!

Sadly I do not know any hotel, however I have never had the idea you need to be 18 to be able to get a room. Very true, it would for sure make it better if its abroad. Our magical British weather can surprise you nicely :cute: Sorry, for not being much of a help. However, good luck with the result and with the holiday :smile:
