Potentially, it would be classed as either capital or income depending upon how it was drawn down. Ad hoc withdrawals are treated as capital, any drawdown that forms a regular pattern in amount and/or time period would be treated as income.
Also depending upon how you draw down the money there may (probably will be) tax payable too.

Maybe the bigger point is this. Why on earth are you thinking about taking money from your future self to pay for a holiday now?
