The skies are cloudy and the evenings are getting darker, so do you really need another excuse to catch a bit of sun on a family holiday?
Well, just in case you did, Half Term is fast approaching, so join your children with a week off and make the most of our fantastic family deals!
From sun-kissed Spain to tempting Tunisia, there’s sure to be an offer to suit you.
Mijas Costa, Costa del Sol
In Mijas Costa, you get the best of both worlds with the culture of a city break and the relaxation of a beach holiday. A tour of Malaga Cathedral (seen above), or a look in the Picasso Museum, are great ways to start the day, and if you’re feeling adventurous, don’t miss your chance to enjoy Tivoli World – an amusement park with its own currency!
Marbella’s beach is just a short walk from the Grangefield Oasis Club and is perfect for sunbathing and swimming with fine sands and clean waters. Blue Flag La Cala beach is also worth a visit as it has excellent facilities and children’s swings.
The deal: Fly from London Luton Airport to Malaga on the 27/10/13 for seven nights enjoying the sunshine at the 4* Grangefield Oasis Club! All for just £242pp.
Bugibba, Malta
Malta’s perfect for a fun-filled holiday and the resort of Bugibba is ideal for families who want a vibrant town atmosphere as well as a great beach to relax on. The Blue Sea San Anton Hotel & Apartments is just 500 metres from the coast, so the whole family will be building sand castles in no time. There’s also a free water park with aqua umbrellas and huge tipping water buckets.
The kids will love playing outside so be sure to pack plenty of sun cream, as temperatures can reach highs of 25°C in October. Don’t miss the fun train, which drives along the coast each day, providing an ideal way to enjoy the scenery without the little ones getting tired out.
The deal: Fly from London Stansted to Malta on the 27/10/13 for seven nights of fun at the Blue Sea San Anton Hotel & Apartments for just £356pp.
Alcudia, Majorca
Located on the eastern side of Majorca, you’ll be able to enjoy 7km of golden sandy beaches as well as clear blue waters in Alcudia. Make the most of the warm Mediterranean sunshine, as we all know the UK will probably be cold and wet. For those who like to be a tad more active on holiday, head over to the S’Albufera Nature Park, or take older children to cycle through the stunning Tramuntana Mountains.
If you’re more of a thrillseeker in the pool than in the great outdoors then prepare to be amazed by the huge range of pools at the Club Bellevue Apartments, where you can splash about all afternoon. In the evening, explore the Old Town and visit the ancient Alcudia Castle; the Old Town also has an excellent range of bars and restaurants.
The deal: Fly from Manchester to Majorca on the 27/10/13 for seven fantastic nights at the Club Bellevue Apartments! All for only £200pp.
Skanes, Tunisia
In the popular resort of Skanes, you’ll find white sandy beaches and the warm shallow waters of the Mediterranean Sea, perfect for children to paddle in. The big kids of the family will appreciate the many water sport activities on offer, including scuba diving and snorkelling.
If you don’t want to get wet, explore the coastline by boat or yacht, where you could be lucky enough to see dolphins up close. Whilst your little darlings are at the hotel’s kids club, head inland to find two luscious golf courses, the Flamingo and Palm Links, both sure to test your skills.
The deal: Fly from Manchester to Tunisia on the 27/12/13 for seven unforgettable nights at the 4* Skanes Serail Hotel for just £331pp.
