Top 5 Reasons We Love Holidays

We love holidays

Why do we love holidays SOOO much? Hmm, it's hard to say because they're so obviously brilliant, but if we had to pick one reason it would be because... they're top-tier, 10/10, no notes.

We love holidays SO MUCH we want to make it as easy & cheap for everyone to go holiday as possible. That's why we offer holidays with super-low deposits from just £19pp and it's why we bundle ATOL protection into all of our holidays to make sure if anything does go wrong, you're protected!

Holidays, jollies, holibobs - whatever you call them, they're our jam. And we've got a load of 'em- from cheap and cheerful superstars to mega 2026 holiday deals. But if you want a longer answer (or maybe you're reading this whilst on holiday - on some sunny beach) - here are our top 5 reasons why we love holidays:

1. We love Beach Holidays!

Is a holiday really a holiday without a beach?! (Or a Blue Flag beach, if you're one of our holidays in Turkey, Spain or Greece - the world's top 3 destinations for blue flag beaches). With our beachfront havens, you can tumble out of bed and onto the sand faster than you can say "Morning mimosa?" We're talking about literally waking up to the sound of the waves (and not the ones from your ASMR Spotify playlist), with the sea breeze right out your window and the warm sun as your only wake-up call. If your idea of a holiday is maxing out the chill vibes with zero effort, then a beach on your doorstep is all you need.

2. We love Holidays with Waterparks!

Summer holidays with waterparks are sooooooo much better. Water and the Sun are a top tier combo. Whether you're a waterpark wizard or just looking to add a splash of thrill to your jolly, we've got the goods. Fancy kayaking on Croatia holidays? Check. Kite-surfing on Fuerteventura holidays? Double check. Hotels with waterparks? Oh, you betcha! We can totally see you now, sliding down the most mega tube slide you've ever seen, bobbing along lazy rivers, testing out the wave pools. Someone's gotta do it! There's plenty more where this came from though, and all-inclusive Turkey breaks are all about the epic waterparks, so that's one way to keep the kids entertained while you relax. Or join 'em. We don't judge.

3. We love Holidays with Good Food!

Forget the sunbed wars, the pools there all day. Nah, the food sitch is way more important, we know it, you know it. Jollies are all about taking your tastebuds on a flight around the globe, you've got to push the boat out, and where better than a jam-packed all-you-can-eat bonanza. From tasty tapas on Spain holidays to pasta parties on Italy holidays and mouthwatering moussaka on holidays to Greece, prepare to loosen those belts and dig in. Lavish buffet spreads for your 3-course brekkie (has to be done), gourmet lunches by the pool, candlelit dinners by the sea. It's all part of adding that extra (delicious) touch to your holibobs. Not to mention all the desserts and ice cream, because how else are you going to cool down from all that sun!? Plus, if you bag yourself an all inclusive deal, you can literally try e v e r y t h i n g.

4. We love Spa Holidays!

Need some TLC that even the bubbliest bath can't provide? Say hello to spa and wellness holidays. Our spa and wellness hotels are like a hug for your soul. Think of Tenerife holidays where beachfront massages are standard, or hotels with bubbling Jacuzzis and swanky wellness centres with aromatherapy sessions, body wraps and Turkish bath treatments (that's the one where they get you all soapy and leave you feeling squeaky clean). It's all on the menu. These are the kind of hotels where every day is all poolside bliss, leisurely dips in infinity pools and  beachfront yoga sessions. AKA: the dream. So, kick back, relax, and let the pamper sesh begin!

In the mood for self care? We reckon a cheeky spa holiday will do the trick.

5. We Love Holidays with Culture!

Holidays are your golden ticket to a world of wonders beyond the poolside. We're talking city breaks where you can gawp at Barcelona's Sagrada Familia (still not finished after 140 years – we admire the commitment), get lost in the winding streets of Marrakech, or stuff your face with proper pizza in Rome before waddling round the Colosseum.

These are the kind of jollies where you come back with stories, not just a tan. Explore ancient ruins in Greece, haggle for bargains in a Turkish bazaar, or pretend you're cultured at a vineyard in Portugal. And the best bit? You can mix it up – morning on the beach, afternoon exploring a castle, evening eating your bodyweight in local grub. That's the dream right there.

Whether you're travelling as a couple or dragging the kids round a museum (bribery snacks essential), we've got family holidays and couples holidays sorted. History lesson? Optional. Good time? Guaranteed.
