What is a sunshine holiday with Thomas Cook?

A sunshine holiday is a package built around warmer weather, usually just a short-to-medium flight from the UK and often All Inclusive.

A sunshine holiday is a package built around warmer weather, usually just a short-to-medium flight from the UK and often All Inclusive. Canary Islands holidays work year-round, while Turkey, Cyprus and mainland Spain come into their own from spring through to autumn, giving you everything from lazy beach days to longer evenings by the sea.

If you're planning around a specific month, our guide to where to go in August covers the best seasonal picks. Where you go depends on what you want from the trip. Families tend to go for resorts with kids’ clubs and pools, couples lean towards quieter spa hotels, and groups often pick somewhere with a livelier evening scene. Every Thomas Cook package includes flights and hotels in one booking, with ATOL protection as standard.

FAQs

What counts as a sunshine holiday?

It’s a package holiday built around sunny getaways, usually somewhere short-to-medium haul. Thomas Cook’s sunshine holidays include destinations from the Canary Islands to Turkey, with mostly All Inclusive hotels, though Bed & Breakfast and Half Board are also available if you’d rather eat out.

Are sunshine holidays All Inclusive?

Most are, but not all. All Inclusive is standard at many of our warm-weather hotels, but Bed & Breakfast and Half Board are available too. This gives you more freedom to explore local restaurants and try different places to eat during your trip.

Which destinations offer the most reliable sunshine?

The Canary Islands stay warm all year. Turkey, Cyprus and mainland Spain see the highest temperatures between April and October, while Egypt stays hotter for longer if you’re travelling outside the main summer season. The right destination depends on when you’re travelling and how far you’re happy to fly.

Can I find a cheap or last-minute sunshine holiday?

Yes, especially if your dates and destination aren’t fixed. Outside school holidays you’ll usually find more choice at a better price, though the most popular hotels tend to book up first. Travelling in spring or autumn can also help your budget stretch further.
