Bournemouth -> Majorca, Spain
The largest and most popular of the Balearics, Majorca is an island of startling contrasts.
Despite great popularity and development, Majorca remains an astonishingly beautiful place, with verdant pines, rolling green hills, endless superb beaches and a varied choice of resorts, each with a character and flavor of its own. Whether you want to sun yourself in peace and quiet or live it up in the hot spots until the early hours, Majorca is just the resort for you.

Manchester -> Funchal, Portugal
Named 'Garden Island', important shipping center during the 15th-17th centuries.
Madeira is cris-crossed by irrigation channels running from source springs high in the mountains giving the island it's lush appearance.
Of particular interest are the many monasteries some of which are only visitable by foot to this day. Here they can buy honey or a cup of coffee ready for the long journey down.
Perhaps not as well known as some of the other Mediterranean islands, Madeira has the year round good weather and represents a great opportunity for walkers to get out in the hills in decent weather.
