How we plan it

Picking the perfect beach

The best beach depends on the month, who you're with and how you like to spend your day.

  1. 01

    Match the month

    We suggest places where the sea is warm and the weather is reliable for your dates.

  2. 02

    Sand or snorkelling

    Soft sand for families, reefs for snorkellers, quiet coves for couples.

  3. 03

    Close to the sea

    We check how far your hotel is from the beach, so you don't have to.

  4. 04

    Flight time that suits

    Short-haul for a quick break, long-haul when you have more time.

Beach holidays for every season

From May to October, the Mediterranean is warm and only a few hours away, with Türkiye, Greece, Spain and Cyprus all popular choices. In winter, head further for sunshine, to Dubai, Egypt's Red Sea, the Canary Islands, Thailand or the Maldives.

We plan beach holidays around the month you travel, so you get the best weather and sea temperature for your money.

Short-haul or long-haul?

A short flight means more time on the beach and less time travelling, which is great for families with young children. Long-haul beaches are further away but reward you with tropical water and reliable winter sun.

Tell us how long you have and what you enjoy, and we'll suggest the best options.
