Summer Getaways
We take summer holidays very seriously, and why wouldn't we? They're the highlight of the year! That's why we've handpicked the very best spots for your 2026/27 getaway. Our team even visited these places to ensure they're absolutely worth it (all for research, of course).
Summer Holidays Beat Staying Home
Respectfully, staying home during summer just doesn't cut it. British summers often tease us with a sunny day before retreating into grey skies and drizzle. Pebbly beaches, chilly winds, and unpredictable weather? No, thanks.
Instead, imagine a place where your swimwear is the only waterproof you need. Forget about lugging umbrellas and getting drenched. Summer holidays abroad offer sunshine, sandy beaches, and the perfect excuse to say goodbye to soggy socks. (we hate that part for sure)
Top 4 Reasons to Book a Summer Holiday
Yup! You just have to book, and here is why.
1. It's HOT
The UK might call it summer, but honestly, 19 degrees and drizzles don't count. A proper summer holiday guarantees glorious sunshine. Think golden tans, beach days, and no need for oversized coats.
2. Endless Choices
Summer means more hotel options. Book early to snag the best spots, like swim-up rooms or adult-only suites. Don't wait too long because everyone else is thinking the same thing!
3. Family Bonding
School's out, so why not make memories together? Summer holidays are the perfect time for family fun, whether splashing around in waterparks or enjoying lazy beach days.
4. Budget-Friendly Deals
We've got loads of affordable options, from all-inclusive packages to cheap summer holidays.
Summer Holidays For Everyone
Here's what we offer.
Family Fun
School's out, which can only mean one thing: time for a family holiday! Summer holidays are the best kind of holiday. They're like the main event of the year.
We've got many family-friendly hotels with waterparks, daily activities, and plenty of entertainment. Imagine splashing down waterslides, participating in fun challenges, and enjoying endless ice cream breaks. Whether it's Spain or Greece, we've got something for every family member, even Aunt Karen, who constantly complains.
Adults-Only Escapes
Sometimes, you just need a break from squealing kids and constant Baby Shark chants (even though it's a bit catchy, isn't it?). If you're craving quiet, we've got plenty of adult-only options. Fancy a luxury break to Cape Verde or a chilled-out beach day with cocktails in hand? These holidays are all about relaxation and fun (without the kids).
All-Inclusive Adventures
Want a bit of everything? All-inclusive holidays are perfect for stuffing your face with buffet treats, sipping poolside drinks, and enjoying top-notch entertainment without worrying about your wallet. Imagine ice cream, water aerobics, and evening shows, all included in the price. From Turkey to Tenerife, we've got destinations that know how to do all-inclusive right.
Cheap Summer Holidays
We have loads of deals that give you more beach for your buck (pun intended). Think all-inclusive packages, boutique hotels with breathtaking views, and even free bubbles on arrival (jk). From sunny Costa Blanca to the laid-back vibes of Portugal, we're all about finding hidden gems.
Where to Go for a Top Summer Holiday
Here are all our favourite destinations that we handpicked just for you.
Greece
Greece has incredible things: beaches, history, and food. There are family-friendly resorts with massive waterparks and boutique adult-only spots for those looking to escape the school holiday rush. Go all-inclusive, and you won't even have to worry about money (it's all sorted!)
Malta
Malta might be tiny, but it's full of surprises. Picture yourself wandering through cute streets, sipping cocktails by the marina, and learning all about history (fun for the history geeks!). This place has the best of both worlds: gorgeous beaches and a rich cultural scene. Plus, there are epic music festivals every summer.
Turkey
Turkey isn't just a holiday destination; it's a whole experience. You can discover stunning beaches, lively bazaars, and massive hotels that are just jam-packed with activities.
Pro tip: Try the gözleme (a delicious Turkish pancake), it's a game-changer!
Canary Islands
The Canary Islands are a bit like a pick ‘n' mix.
Tenerife offers impressive hiking trails, Lanzarote boasts breezy beaches, and Gran Canaria has buzzing bars.
Meanwhile, Fuerteventura is perfect for relaxed family beach days with entertainment for all ages and pool bars for post-swim drinks. The Canaries are calling your name.
Best Summer Beach Holiday Destinations
When the temperature rises, nothing beats a beach holiday. The only question is: where will you lay down your towel? We have got some of the best options.
Madeira
You'll find incredible pools carved out by black lava rocks at Porto Moniz. The seawater fills them up naturally. Try poncha, a strong local rum drink, while exploring Funchal's cute old town.
Amalfi Coast
This Italian coastline is so adorable. Visit places like Positano and Ravello, where lemon trees grow everywhere and colourful houses seem to hang off cliffs. Additionally, drive or take a boat along the coast.
You can also dine at cliffside restaurants where fresh seafood and handcrafted limoncello steal the show.
Santorini
Santorini is simply unforgettable. Stay in Oia's famous whitewashed villas overlooking the deep blue caldera. Explore beaches with red and black sand and take all the Instagram-worthy pictures. Travellers can also enjoy a catamaran trip to witness the island's legendary sunsets.
Thailand
Thailand offers adventure, peace and a lot more (wink wink). Kayak through stunning karsts in Ao Nang. Railay Beach is perfect for rock climbing, while nearby markets serve fresh seafood. You can find quiet, untouched beaches that feel like your own private paradise.
