These are mine, no need to go abroad:
Total get-away from it all:
Western Isles of Scotland, or the Highlands if you can't be arsed venturing off the mainland. Stunning scenery and wildlife, great food and drink, magnificent isolation, dripping in fascinating history. A fantastic place to blow away the cobwebs and recharge.
Good family fun:
Cornish coast. Great beaches, plenty to engage kids - rock pools, pirate tales, great climate, stunning fish restaurants, little fishing villages / ports that you can spend a whole day nosing about in.
