Portugal
You can’t beat the Algarve for fun family holidays in the sun. Boasting endless golden shores, hidden beaches, caves to explore and family friendly restaurants, it’s no wonder the country is cited as what will be one of the most visited country in 2017.
There are a variety of options for where to stay. Albufeira is a lively resort, perfect for families with teenagers whilst further down the coast in Alvor it’s a little quieter and ideal for families with young children. Whether you want a self-catering holiday to cut down costs or you can go for an all-inclusive package. Jet2holidays are offering flights to Portugal from just £90.
Tenerife
Tenerife is a favourite for sun seekers, boasting an average temperature of 22 degrees throughout the year so it’s also ideal for a winter sun holiday too if you can’t until the summer arrives!
The largest and most developed of the Canary Islands, Playa de las Americas, Costa Adeje and Puerto de la Cruz are the most popular destinations for family holidays in the south of the island. In the north of the island, you will find Tenerife’s capital, Santa Cruz, perfect for retail therapy and a culture fix with its museums and art galleries, should you get bored of sunbathing!
Tenerife is a family favourite and continues to be a cost-effective option with package holidays starting from £258pp (Monarch) in 2017. There is also vast amounts of self-catering apartment complexes on the Island should you want to keep costs down.
Greek Islands
Unbeatable beaches, hot weather, and plenty of family-friendly beach resorts, the Greek Islands is one of the most affordable and picturesque holiday destinations in 2017.
For a family with teenagers, they may prefer Rhodes where there’s plenty to do – water sports and beach-side parties will keep them entertained. Corfu is also an affordable Greek Island for young families but just as beautiful, with its rugged mountains and crystal blue seas.
When it comes to accommodation, there’s something to suit all budgets and that is why Greek holidays are always top of the list of affordable summer holidays.
From self-catering apartments to package holiday options at beach-side hotels with swimming pools and water slides to keep younger children occupied, there’s plenty of ways to keep the cost of your family holiday down in the Greek sunshine!
Majorca
Majorca remains of the most popular holiday destinations for British holiday-makers thanks to its stunning family-friendly beaches, sultry Spanish heat and fun nightlife. The flight-time is also short and sweet, perfect for families with young children!
The Balearic Island is perfect for a chilled out family holiday – you could stay in one of the island’s many picturesque villages dotted along its coastline, such as Puerto De Soller and Pollença, a beautiful village surrounded by citrus plantations.
For historic sites and lively nightlife, head to the island’s capital Palma which is filled with tapas bars, shops and its famous Moorish Almudaina royal palace and 13th-century Santa María Cathedral.
The island caters to all ages, tastes and budgets, with plenty of types of accommodation on offer. From small family run hotels to poolside villas by the sea, and there are lots of package holiday options available too through travel retailers.
