The days of the dirty weekend appear to be fading away, with new research showing that most of us prefer to go away with friends.
New research by AA Insurance shows that 55 per cent of people in a relationship have gone on holiday without their lover, while 13 per cent admit they enjoy short breaks more when their partner stays at home.
The most popular reason for taking a break without our partners, cited by 22 per cent of those asked, is that we want to do an activity which our other half does not enjoy.
A further ten per cent say that they go away alone because they need some space.
“For many, mini breaks are a chance to have some time away from their partners and do things they wouldn’t necessarily do if their partner was with them,” said Clare Emsley from the AA.
The new partner-less mini-break has been dubbed a Clean Weekend and a number of insurance firms are offering special premiums for people taking this kind of holiday.
However, many people will find that it is far cheaper to get travel insurance for a couple than on an individual basis.
