As the UK prepares for a bank holiday weekend filled with pomp and pageantry, the team at Serenity Holidays appreciates that this year's Coronation might not be for everyone. For those wishing to escape from the street parties, union jacks, and cream teas that come with the big day, a magical mini break on the Mediterranean islands of Corsica or Sardinia could provide the perfect tonic.

Corsica's heavenly beaches rival those of the Caribbean, while Sardinia too is renowned for its exceptional white sands, from the famed Costa Smeralda to the rugged, romantic south. Secret beaches, magical mountains, powdery sand shores, and crystalline waters are among prize island views. And with an average of 10 sunshine hours a day and May temperatures in the comfortable low twenties, each offers a wonderful escape.

Through its Corsican Places and Sardinian Places holiday collections, Serenity has compiled a wide range of accommodation and flight options, which include the following:

CORSICA:
