I know, I know, the emails are already pouring in, 2025 is in full swing and all you can think about are those holiday deals from your nearest travel agency. Are you leaning towards a city break or a longer trip? Maybe Disneyworld or a South African safari? Now is the time to start booking your holidays and getting those holiday requests in to your boss or Steve in HR asap.

Hereโ€™s the good news! Weโ€™ve got the answer to a question thatโ€™s been at the back of your mind: how can you turn 20 days of holiday leave into 55 days? Read below!

Letโ€™s say you work a regular Monday-Friday, 9-5 job and get 20 days of paid holiday leave per year- if you align your days off with public holidays to extend your breaks, you can travel longer, more often and at better times! This isnโ€™t just a good idea, itโ€™s a game-changer, but you need to choose them correctly in order to ensure you make the most out of it. Think about itโ€”an adventure to a far-off destination could be the perfect antidote to stress, giving you the chance to unwind, explore, and recharge. Whether itโ€™s chasing sunsets on a beach or hiking through a hidden mountain trail, travel can spark creativity, improve your mood, and even boost your productivity when you return to the grind.

Here are the details:


January 31 for a 4-day break


March 14 for a 4-day break


April 22 to April 25 for a 10-day break


May 2 for a 4-day break


May 30 for a 4-day break


August 1 for a 4-day break


October 24 for a 4-day break


Xmas 2025: December 22 to December 24, and December 29 to December 31 for a 16-day break


And there you have it! Get those requests in quickly, you never know who else is reading this article!
