Any of the Canary Islands.

Off the coast of Africa, thus Hot

Plenty of Water Sports

Not too built up

Cheap

Can be quiet in the right spot.

Umm Qasr is nice this time of year. Cheap as well.

- on, or very close to a beach
- water sports (no jokes..! ;-) )
- hopefully not costing the earth...

etc..

TIA!

One of the former yugoslavia type places. Bulgaria, or Grand Canaria. Sharm el Shiek in Egypt is ok, but getting a bit full of muppets nowadays. Or Elait in Isreal

Malta or Gozo - some quiet areas there and not too far...

What's the budget? Dubai is very nice but pricey. I'm going to Puerto Pollensa in Northern Majorca this summer - very nice, nowhere as busy as south or west of the island.

If you're not fussy where you go, get a "last minute" package holiday to wherever. They're basically cancelled ones and the price drops really low near the deadline. I bought one something like 18 hours before the flight for me and my then gf and it was about £200 per person, flight, delivery to and from the airport and half-board in a 3 star hotel for a week in Menorca (away from the main touristy bit). Brilliant holiday and dirt cheap. We found it on teletext, don't know if they still do them.

Failing that most tourist destinations in Spain/Greece have "quiet", classier, not to mention cheaper hotels and bars 2/3km away from the main touristy bit. Hire a scooter and you're laughing ;)

Gran Canaria & Tenerfie are almost as good as holidaying in London if thats what you want.
If you want peacefull go to the north of Tenerfie - Santa Cruz and the like or try Lanzarote. Its the least built up of the islands.

I lived there for 4 yrs so feel free to ask away if this is interesting to you.
