Mediterranean holiday area (7)
I believe the answer is:
riviera
'mediterranean holiday area' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for riviera that I've seen before include "Coastal area between Cannes and Italy" , "Coastal area between Italy and France" , "Subtropical 1 dn area" , "In France, the Cote d'Azur" , "I arrive! (Anag)" .)
