Our TOP family holidays

Newsflash: whisking the kiddos away on one of our child-friendly holidays doesn't need to cost a fortune or stress you out. That's right - we've got cheap kids holidays with ALL the goodies - from daily activities and buffets fit for the pickiest eaters, to fun-packed kids' clubs. (Although let's be honest - those are mainly for your benefit. You enjoy that piña colada in peace.)

And if you're not sure we believe what we're talking about when it comes to holidays with kids, don't take it from us - take it from Dave in Recruitment. He took his fam to Marsenses Paradise Club Hotel and it went down an absolute treat. Here's what he had to say about it: 'You can celebrate Sensi's (the hotel mascot's) birthday every Thursday! And if the kids fancy a mocktail, they can try a Purple Princess from the bar.' We're sold, Dave.

Signs that you've picked the BEST family holiday:

Wet 'n' wild waterparks

Bigger is better, right? We’re talking about waterslides obviously, and we've got plenty of hotels with waterparks that bring guaranteed fun without you even needing to leave the resort! We're talking raft rides, lazy rivers and twisting tube slides that'll make you wish you didn’t have that second ice cream after lunch... All the big holiday destinations have a few waterparks up their sleeve, but a few of our faves are Stella Waterland over at Stella Palace in Greece (we visited, and we have the goggle marks to prove it), Orka World in Turkey (Turkey holidays just know how to do waterparks right), and Sol Katmandu in Majorca, which is actually part-waterpark, part-theme park!

Cool kids' clubs

Hey, sometimes you just need a bit of peace and quiet while the kiddos are off colouring in and playing dress-up. We get it. That’s why we’ve got plenty of hotels with kids’ clubs, activities and mini discos, so there’s no chance of the young ones getting bored - and no chance of you getting sick of 'em! Just keep in mind that kids' clubs are typically a seasonal thing, but the good news is that if you're jetting off in half-term, most family hotels will have the service available. Whatever your motive - whether it's that the kids want to hang out with some youngsters their own age, they're itching to get messy doing arts and crafts, or you just want a quiet moment of kid-free time - a hotel with a kids' club on site is a win-win.

ALL the activities

Is it even a family holiday until you've argued over a game of mini golf? The kids think they got a hole-in-one, Dad thinks they cheated, Mum thinks it's just a game and everyone should get over it. We think it's all part of the fun! Luckily, we've got a ton of hotels with mini-golf courses on site, and honestly, that's just a small taste of what our family-friendly resorts offer. Think water polo (that's the one with the super-attractive swim caps and goggles, FYI), archery (so the kids can channel their inner Katniss Everdeen), volleyball, bowling, watersports galore, and loads more. In short: there's no chance of getting bored if you book one of our family-friendly hotels.

Food for every mood

Family jollies are all fun and games until it comes to meal time and the kiddos turn their nose up at anything that isn't a chip or a chicken nugget. Thankfully, our kid-friendly hotels know what's up, which is why loads of them offer special kids' menus and separate buffet sections just for the tots, teens and picky in-betweens. Think crispy nuggs, saucy spaghetti, sweet onion rings (not to be confused with calamari - been there), cheesy pizzas, fresh fruit, ice cream, and plenty more to promise full bellies and happy faces. That's fuss-free dining, no matter how fussy your party is. Bish, bash, bosh.

Best family holiday destinations

There are loads of places to keep on your radar for a family holiday, whether you're looking for the best beaches, the biggest pools or the liveliest kids' clubs. All-inclusive Turkey holidays are an absolute shout for getting your money's worth, with jam-packed hotels that really do have everything. Think waterparks, daily activities, restaurants everywhere you turn - the whole shebang. And if you're just after a classic beach break (if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?), then Spain's always a winner. The Canary islands even stay sunny through the winter months, and who could say no to a holiday to Fuerteventura in October half-term? Not us. So... Where do you fancy?

What're you in the mood for?

All inclusive family holidays

Bob Marley once sang don't worry, be happy - and we can't say for certain, but we're pretty sure this is what he was talking about. When it comes to the family, all inclusive holidays are where it's at. Maximum happy vibes and zero worries, because all your holiday essentials are covered in one price tag. Drinks? Check. Food? Checkity-check. Fun-packed activities? Checkarooney. We're talking waterparks, activities, kids' clubs and endless ice cream - all on site without having to open your wallet. We like the sound of that. There's no one-size-fits-all here, so whether you're feeling tropical or keeping it classic with a trip to Spain, we've got you covered.

Luxury living

We all deserve a treat every now and again, so why not use yours up on a luxury hol with the fam? We've got some cracking five-star family hotels up our T-shirt sleeve. Don't just take our word for it, though! We're all about doing our research, whether that means checking with the TripAdvisor squad, or jetting out there to check things out for ourselves (someone's gotta do it!). That's why we feel confident when we say a boujee break with the fam can most definitely be on the cards. It's the epitome of never needing to lift a finger.

Cheap family holidays

Who says you can't score some serious parent points with the kiddos without sending your bank account into a frenzy? We've got a bunch of getaways that are as wallet-friendly as they are family-friendly, meaning you can enjoy maximum fun for minimum spend. All that on top of our flexible payments scheme? You're practically robbing us blind. You already knew we loved beach breaks, but beach breaks on a budget? We love 'em even more. And if you're a bit of a planner, then hurry and get your 2025 holidays in the diary so you can start counting down to that cheap family break.

LGBTQ+ friendly

When we say we offer family jollies for everyone, we mean it. With gay-friendly hotels that are perfect for getting the whole team away, EVERYONE can be themselves. Just how it should be. Sun it up in Mexico or get away to Gran Canaria - wherever you choose, you can relax in our most inclusive hotels where everyone is free to be exactly who they want to be. Doesn't matter if you're chasing pool time, beach days or an activity-packed adventure, we've got holidays that roll out the welcome mat for every single guest - so let's get you there.

Going abroad in the school holidays

Fitting your family holibobs around term time is almost as stressful as trying to organise Hair Wash Day. And 10x more expensive. Firstly, there's deciding when to actually go (Easter? Summer? Christmas?), and then there's deciding where. But before you get your swimwear in a twist, we've got your back. We've got deals coming out our ears, so choose your term below and prepare to bag a bargain.

Family jollies for everyone...

We know families come in all shapes and sizes. Big ones, little ones, moody teen ones, toddler tantrum ones. We've got a holibobs for whoever you're bringing along.

Family holidays abroad with babies and toddlers

Nap time, playtime, snack time - toddler life doesn’t sound too bad, does it? Yeah, they can be a bit of a handful, but once you’re on that beach…well, everyone’s happy. It might take a few tantrums and toilet trips to get there, but at the right hotel, holidays with the little ones are a doddle. We’re talking splash pools, swing sets, babysitting services, and all-day ice cream to keep everyone happy. Not forgetting the mini disco songs that get stuck in your head for days on end (call them annoying all you want, but we both know you’ll be searching them on YouTube when you’re back home). Speaking of coming back home, our trusty flight options mean you can choose an airline that works for you, and flight times that work for you (and the little ones). You could say, family holidays are easier than ever (especially when you book with easyJet flights... get it?) Let's just say... sandcastles and sticky handprints aside, beach holidays really are a chance for everyone to play. To top it off, we've got bags of holidays that're just a short flight away, so you can spend less time travelling with grumpy tots, and more time lazing by the pool 😎

Best family holidays for teenagers

Teens - too cool to tag along with Mum and Dad on holiday, but not too cool for you to do all their washing. Gotta love 'em. Well, splash pools and kids’ clubs might not cut it anymore, and there are only so many replays of Danza Kuduro they can handle before rolling their eyes (we can't relate, we still think it's a banger). They need something cool. Multiple pools for multiple swims. Games rooms to escape the heat. Bangin' watersports (the plunge-you-into-the-sea kind, not the quiet-pedalo-ride-with-Dad kind). Oh, and Wi-Fi obvs, because heaven forbid they go more than a week without keeping their pals back home in the loop. What we're trying to say is... we've got hotels for teenagers that have all of that, so you can actually enjoy your jolly.

Oh, and wherever you pick, whether it's a holiday to Greece, Spain or even Portugal, keep an eye out for hotels with interconnecting family rooms. It means your teens get their own space (and so do you), but you've still got the comfort of being just a door away. That's proper sick. (Yeah, we're down with the kids.)

Family package holidays for when you're bringing EVERYONE

Got your own little army of kiddos? Hey, we're not judging - people had to do something to entertain themselves before the days of Netflix and TikTok trends. Or maybe you're looking for a group holiday where you and your friends can pool all the kids together for a jolly? First of all, we hope you've got earplugs (kidding), second of all - good luck (also kidding), and thirdly - that's why we've got the best spots for some BIG family fun. We're talking roomy apartments where you can actually close the door during temper tantrums, enough pools to keep everyone happy (from babies to boomers), and entertainment for ALL ages. So what're you waiting for? Time to get the whole gang together.

FAQs

The cheapest destinations for family holidays vary, but Turkey hotels are great value for money - packed with all-day entertainment, whopping waterparks and food for the whole family. If some laidback family fun in the sun is more your vibe, then Majorca and Menorca are both great options too.

Family holidays are all about keeping everyone entertained. If you're travelling with the kids, we'd recommend somewhere close to the beach with mild temperatures so it's not too hot for the little ones. Spain and parts of Greece are both absolute classics when it comes to a family beach break.

Yes, it is possible. We've always got our top deals where you can be sure you're bagging a bargain, but destinations such as Spain and Turkey are a great place to start when looking for great value. On top of that, our low deposits and our FlexiPay options mean that you can secure your holiday for as little as possible, and pay your way, so there's no pressure to pay out one big sum.

When it comes to travelling with the kids, having everything boxed off before your travels is a must. That's where all-inclusive holidays make everything hassle-free, with buffet breakfasts, ice creams, daily activities and evening entertainment - all included. You don't need to lift a finger.

Short flights mean that you can jet off for your dose of sun, sand and sea without the kids getting antsy and without having to spend a full day of your holiday travelling. Spanish favourites such as Ibiza, Menorca and Majorca are all ideal for a family beach break, and Canary Islands such as Lanzarote and Tenerife are only a few hours away, too.

Our top tip for flying with the kids in tow:

Keeping the kids entertained on holiday is one thing, but what about during the journey? Portable games, colouring books and small toys are easy to throw in your hand luggage, and when you're sat next to a quiet, happy child on the plane, you'll thank yourself. Who said the family fun can't start ASAP?

As long as you've got some cool activities and a good Wi-Fi connection, you're sorted. We're kidding. Well, kind of. If you're travelling with a teen who doesn't like to sit still, then hotels in Turkey and Cyprus almost always have a waterpark to explore, Spain always has something going on at the beach, and if you fancy somewhere a bit more long haul, then the Maldives is literally known for its watersports, because each hotel is like its own little island. And if your teen just likes to kick back and take it easy? All you need is a good pool, a good beach and some good food. Luckily, we've got plenty of hotels that tick all those boxes, so you can take your pick.

For starters, we know what's what. Entertainment for the little ones so you never have to hear those dreaded two words ('I'm bored') while you're away. All-inclusive deals for unlimited chips and ice cream by the pool. (And there's food for the kids, too.)

We don't like to blow our own trumpet, but we send over 1.5 million people on their jollies every year, and we'd love you to be part of the family. Plus, with our flexible payment options and low deposits, you can book with confidence without the stress of huge pay-outs (no one's got time for that).
