Cheap holidays for families

Whether you work full time or stay at home with the kids, you and your family deserve a holiday together. Book early to get great rates on sunshine in the Easter, Christmas and summer breaks or, if your little ones haven’t started school yet, keep an eye out for savings on last-minute deals. We have plenty of pocket-money-friendly hotels with kids clubs, splash parks and play areas, so finding cheap holidays for families doesn’t mean compromising on the fun.

Cheap holidays for couples

Holiday romances are the best – even when you’ve been together for years, being by the beach makes you feel like you’re starring in your very own fairy tale. And, with our competitive deals, treating your partner to some sunshine doesn’t have to cost the earth. Fancy a flop ‘n’ drop trip? Or is nightlife the main draw when you’re abroad? It doesn’t matter if your itinerary for two is packed with activities or simply just reads ‘beach day’ every day until you fly home, you can grab a beachy base for a song below.

When’s the best time to book cheap holidays?

If you’re flexible on dates, take advantage of last-minute deals or low-season savings. If you can only fly at certain times (such as during school holidays) then booking your beach break in advance might be your best bet.

Savvy sun seekers keep an eye out for sales and giveaways, too. Have a look at our sale page around Boxing Day, January and Black Friday each year for seasonal discounts. You can also join our mailing list and follow us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook where you can enter competitions and fill in surveys – you might just bag yourself a free holiday.

Cheap short-haul holidays

Short flight. Low cost. It often really is that simple. Short-haul destinations such as Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Ibiza, Majorca and Menorca can be great for getting some sunshine for a steal. Picking a place to stay with short transfer times from the airport and back again will help keep the price down too. Take a quick trip to one of the below hotels to maximise your budget and your travel time.

Cheap All Inclusive holidays

Going All Inclusive can be a lifesaver for travelling on a limited budget. Is there anything more relaxing than knowing that everything’s paid for before you even land? Whether you can’t get enough of the breakfast buffet or it’s the bar that raises your spirits, wining and dining doesn’t need to cost you any extra once you’ve paid for your beach break. We’ve picked out three hotels below that offer cheap holidays with food, drink and fun, all included.
