Will you splurge or save on your green list holiday?
It’s finally here: the restart of overseas holidays. After a long lockdown, and a lengthy ban on foreign breaks, May 17 tempts with a handful of green-list options.
British holidaymakers who’ve squirrelled away savings may be planning a blow-out trip to the first available destination. Indeed, in our snap poll of 500 Telegraph readers, some 72 per cent said they would splurge on travel this year.
Next week should offer up quarantine-free trips to Gibraltar, Portugal and Iceland (for the fully vaccinated). In the coming months, Caribbean Islands and perhaps even the US could be added into the mix.

This could be you this time next week – the Albatroz hotel in Madeira still has availability
Holidays are go! From May 17 – next Monday – you can officially, legally, embark on a good old-fashioned getaway. But where on the ‘green list’ is actually accepting Britons, without the need for vaccination certificates, quarantine on arrival, or worries of whether borders will open in time?
Of England’s 12 ‘green’ destinations, just two will be accepting British leisure travellers from May 17 with minimal faff: Madeira and Gibraltar. Here, tourists need only take PCR tests on travelling/arrival – no quarantine, no vaccination certificates and no hassle. For detailed entry requirements, see the FCDO’s pages for Madeira and Gibraltar.
