Summer 2027: top holiday deals

Ready to plan your summer holidays for 2027? Now’s a great time to start. Booking early doesn’t just mean you get the best choice of hotels and flights, it often comes with a wallet-friendly price tag too!

And the earlier you book, the more likely you are to get your hands on our kids stay free places (at selected hotels only*), which is especially handy for those tied to the school summer holidays. Plus, with a low deposit of just £19pp, you can secure your escape now, and spread the cost over the coming months. From top-of-the-range All Inclusive escapes in Turkey to Self Catering bargains in Spain - we’ve got plenty of deals that’ll be well worth the wait!

Our summer holiday guide was last revised in November 2026.

*Kids stay free applies at selected hotels only, on selected dates and when travelling with paying adults. Terms and conditions apply.

Summer holidays 2027: Top ideas

Why Book Your 2027 Summer Holiday Early

It can really pay off to book your 2027 holiday early, particularly if you’re after a package deal, tied to certain dates, or have your heart set on a popular hotel. If you leave it closer to departure, you risk losing out with resorts in European favourites like Greece, Turkey and Spain filling up fast.

Got a budget to work with? Booking ahead can really help you stick to it. Lock in a price you love with a £19pp low deposit and split the total into manageable monthly chunks. Once your holiday is paid off, you can start putting some pennies aside for your spends.

Types of Summer Holidays 2027

All Inclusive

All Inclusive holidays make planning a getaway that little bit easier! With your flights, hotel, meals, drinks and snacks all sorted upfront there’s less to worry about, especially when it comes to those holiday debates over where to eat! And some hotels throw in even more fun! We’re talking kids’ clubs that fuel your little one’s imagination to pools packed with waterslides and late-night entertainment the whole family can get involved in.

Family

From buffet spreads built around fussy little mouths to splash park stays for your mini thrill-seekers and exciting activities with all ages ticked off -  there’s so much to look forward to with our family holidays. Travelling with school-age kids and got six weeks to play with? You’ll find family steals in Turkey, Greece and Portugal alongside kids stay free places and low deposits.

*Kids stay free applies at selected hotels only, on selected dates and when travelling with paying adults. Terms and conditions apply.

Adult-only & Couples

Trade splash parks for quiet pool areas made for getting lost in your favourite book. Swap kids’ clubs for luxe spas filled with relaxing treatments. Replace busy buffets with fancy à la carte restaurants and candlelit tables. Our summer adult-only holidays promise all this plus a whole lot more. Now add sun-filled days, sunset strolls and alfresco nights, and you’ve got the ultimate escape for two.

City breaks

A city break but in summer? Think long days spent outdoors and more daylight hours to explore top attractions. If you want to fit beach time into your busy schedule, Lisbon is a great pick with its close-to-the-coast location, while Barcelona’s urban beach means you can quickly go from sightseeing to sunbathing. Summer’s also a great time to slow things down with rooftop bars in full swing and pavement cafes perfect for people-watching over lunch. Plus, there’s a calendar full of events, from open-air concerts to food and drink festivals.

New York summer holidays

🗽 New York

Best for: Couples, sightseeing & shopping. New York in the summer has a totally different feel to winter.
