Get a load of these beachin' 2024 holiday deals

We know a thing or two about beaches (clue's in our name), which means we DEFINITELY know a thing or two about beach jollies. Enter: these absolutely MEGA deals where the sand's on your doorstep and you can smell the sea from your balcony. That's how we rock 'n' roll. Gabrielle from our Operations team stayed at Sol Fuerteventura Jandia, and here's what she had to say: 'The beach is a 2-minute walk away and has the clearest water I've ever seen.' Well, you don't have to tell us twice, Gabs!

The On the Beach guide to a bangin' beach hol

Beaches? That's our middle name. Well, technically 'the' is the middle of our name, but you get the idea. We love the sun on our face (no one likes a shady beach 👀). We love that first whiff of sea salt mixed with suncream. We even love that little surprise crunch of sand in your sarnie. Call us crazy. Whether you're craving fun and games on one of our holidays to Turkey, an epic Greek sunset or a classic taste of Costa del Sol, we've got jollies for all of that (and more). If you're keen to see what holidays 2024 has to offer, prepare for a whole lot of sandcastle-building, watersporting and just plain doing nothing. Long story short...beachy package holidays are our bread and butter. And our jam. And marmalade. Sounds like the start to a good all-inclusive buffet, doesn't it?



Beach jollies ...

... for loved-up couples

Walking off into the sunset might be the end of every Western movie ever, but it could also be you and your better half after a day on the sand. Top-tier romantic vibes right there. That's why, if you're looking to dial up the love, a couples' holiday is the way to do it. Good food, good weather, good cocktails. What's not to like? You can even get your mitts on one of our adult-only stays if you fancy some kid-free couple time (no judging here). From beachfront beauts with those dreamy sea views to romantic boujee spots that offer hot tubs on your balcony, we got it alllllll here.

... the whole family will LOVE

Who doesn't love a good seaside jolly with the kids? Family holidays are like the ultimate family album material! Snotty faces, ice cream tantrums and trampled sandcastles included. Whether it's the sunny coast of Majorca or the toasty warmth of Tenerife, unlike Blackpool, you won't need your waterproofs here. Apart from your cozzy, of course. Always helps if that's waterproof. From all-singing, all-dancing all-inclusives to self-catering apartments big enough to give everyone their own room, you'll find 'em here.

... that don't break the bank

Holidays where the sand and sea is the star of the show are just top-tier. They're for the fun and fabulous 💁‍♀️ (That's us, by the way.) With our nifty low deposits starting from just €30 per person (yep, you read that right) and our payment plans more flexible than your yoga instructor, you won't have to sell your most prized collections to get a bit of sun with us. Whether you're after an all-inclusive bonanza or a wallet-friendly trip with the fam, we've got cheap holidays coming out of our ears.

Top destinations for some sand-and-sea goodness

In case you missed the memo, we know a thing or two about beach vacays. It's in our blood, it's in our bones and...it's in our name, so we've sorta got to live up to it. Sun, sand and sea is our kind of party, and this trusty trio below are in agreement with us there. Plus, with our huge choice of last minute holidays, you could be on the beach in a jiffy! Don't just take our word for it, though. Dive in and see for yourself!

Top spots for the ultimate beachy jolly



The Canaries

If you're a fan of year-round sun (and if you're not then you know where the door is) (kidding), then you're gonna be all over a holiday to the Canaries. Things like Lanzarote holidays and holidays to Fuerteventura bring the sun and fun, from watersports galore thanks to the constant breeze, and most of the beaches have a swanky blue flag flying around too. Holidays to Tenerife are another firm fave, with volcanic rocks, golden sands and ah-mazing waterparks, while Gran Canaria is the place to party if you're into that. Whichever you pick, be prepared to fall head over flip-flops...

Turkey

Fancy a cheeky hol where the sun's always up for a laugh, the sand's softer than your favourite onesie, and the water's brighter than your future? Turkey's your guy. Want one better? An all-inclusive Turkey holiday's your guy. Icmeler Beach in Marmaris is your golden ticket to beachy paradise, while the iconic Blue Lagoon in Oludeniz is your one-stop-shop for watersports, paragliding and views, views, viiieewwwws. (Note to self: bring camera.) (Note to self: don't drop camera.)

Greece

Holidays to Greece are like a buffet of beachy goodness with something for everyone. A slice of the island life with your beach towel? Corfu's got you covered. Somewhere you can dance 'til dawn? Kos and Zante are the life of the party, with DJ nights and buzzing bars open 'til late. And if you're jetting off with the kiddos? You can't go wrong with Crete or Rhodes, both packed with family-friendly hotels. You might even spot a waterpark or two.

The Balearics

Have you seen the beaches here? They're literally Caribbean-worthy... but they're less than two hours away. Can it actually get better than that? Whether you're looking to sip a cocktail by the swanky sands of Majorca, forget about work and chill on the ultimate chill island of Menorca or live it up on the famous White Isle, Ibiza, you'll find the ultimate beach holibobs here.

Top hotels right near the sea

You know what they say...beach life is the best life. And by 'they,' we of course mean...we. That's why we've whipped up these top beachfront hotels, so you can roll out of bed and practically fall onto the sand - no trekking required. And let's be honest - when you've got a giant inflatable flamingo in tow, that's always a winner. Grab your bucket and spade and your fave beach towel - you're gonna need 'em here.

Short beach breaks

Two weeks a bit too long? Running low on annual leave but still desperately searching for a 2024 holiday? We've all been there. That's where shortbeach breaks come in to save the day, though. Less manic holiday prep, more 'let's get away for a few days'. Less shopping for a fortnight's worth of 'fits, more throwing a few bits and bobs in a bag. Whether you're in the mood for a tan top-up in Spain or one of our holidays to Turkey, sometimes all you need is a little sprinkling of sun. Just enough to tide you over until your next holibob. A few days lazing on the beach - work emails muted.

Plus, think about how smug you'll feel when Carol from the office asks what you're up to this weekend and you reply "just a cheeky last-minute trip to Spain." Whether you're jetting off as a couple or bringing the kids along for the ride, a cheap weekend away is always on the cards when you book with us.

We've got short beach breaks for...



... the fam

One thing that keeps the whole family happy – a holiday! Whether you and the little ones need some time away or you’re looking to spend quality time under the sun with your grown-up kids, getting away for a few days is the perfect way to bring the family together. With so many warm and wonderful beach destinations only a short flight away, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to family holidays. Spain, Portugal, the Balearics and beyond - these beaut destinations have what it takes to keep the whole family smiling.

... your special someone

Get away with your fave person (most of the time) and soak up the sun together on a short but sweet couples' jolly. Escape day-to-day life and dip your toes in the sea, unwind with cocktails by the pool and enjoy romantic meals for two. Whether you’re a couple who love exploring charming towns in the Algarve, want to experience the famous buzz of Benidorm's beaches or you're a ‘rave together, stay together’ kinda duo looking for a non-stop party in Ibiza – we've got short beach breaks for every single one of you.

... the whole squad

There’s nothing like a mates’ escape, is there? From that first idea of “let’s go on holiday,” to the moment you take off – there’s no excitement like it…and that’s before you’ve even arrived! We all know a week with the whole group can be a bit much though (no offence, gotta love 'em), but that's why we’re a big fan of short group holidays. You can perfectly plan those five days in Spain, go for a relaxing all-inclusive long weekend in Portugal, or head to the Balearics where you can chill out, catch some rays and club the night away with your best mates🕺

FAQs

What is the best holiday destination?

That all depends on what you're looking for! For the lovey-dovey vibes, it's gotta be a Greek island or somewhere boujee in the Canaries. It's all beach strolls, dinner dates and sunset smooches. If you've got the whole fam in tow, though, then the trusty Balearics and good ol' Turkey are great options - especially when it comes to value for money. And if you're just looking to party? Keep Zante, Ayia Napa and Las Vegas on your radar for a trip you won't forget. Well, depending how much you drink...

Can I find somewhere that has both a beach and a city?

In a word, yes! There are a number of great city break destinations that come served with a side of beach. Try Barcelona for gorgeous Gothic architecture, the famous Park Guell and the buzzing Barceloneta Beach, Dubai if you're looking for boujee beaches with a skyline backdrop, or head to Lisbon for pretty coastlines and perfect pastel de natas. Delish.

Can you book cheap last minute holidays?

The short answer is: yes. Why? Because with our fab deals, flexible payments and wide range of destinations and hotels, booking a last-minute break without spending a ton is straightforward. Whether you just forgot to book or you fancy a spontaneous trip, you can find some great last-minute deals across loads of our destinations. Grab your spade and dig in!

What does it mean when a hotel is adults-only?

It means you won't have to listen to a single rendition of Baby Shark. We're kidding. Well, kind of. Typically, it means you need to be 18+ to book and stay at the hotel, and facilities are usually catered more to adults - so no kids' clubs, but sometimes sports and spas.

Just a heads up, age restrictions can very between 'adult-only' hotels, so it's always best to check this directly on the hotel website to be sure.
