COACHELLA COOL

Virgin Holidays has a deal for those who managed to get their hands on tickets for the Coachella festival in California. Instead of slumming it at a campsite in the searing desert heat, retire to the five-star Westin Mission Hills in Palm Springs for five nights of luxury room-only accommodation, paying £1,199pp with flights from Heathrow to Los Angeles on either 11 April or 18 April, car hire included. Coachella runs over two weekends from 12-14 April and 19-21 April. Festival tickets not included (virginholidays.co.uk).

A week in Corsica at the San Lucianu resort, also with half-board and Gatwick flights on 1, 8, 15 or 22 June costs £624pp. (markwarner.co.uk).
