Summer holidaysChristmas Holidays Abroad
Celebrate Christmas and New Year in style! It’s like one big present, giving your kids the chance to let off steam without being cooped up indoors for the whole of the school Christmas holidays. Whether you’re enjoying sunshine and beach life somewhere exotic – like Egypt – or wrapped up warm in one of the world’s most beautiful cities, it’ll be a cracker of a family getaway. Only one question: if you’re on holiday at Christmas, will Santa know where to take the presents?
Christmas holidaysEaster School Holiday Breaks
With two weeks off in March or April (and the bonus of a long weekend for extra time off work), the school Easter holidays are a fantastic time for a family getaway. Summer sun destinations such as Croatia start to open up in late spring and you’ll still have your pick of the world’s year-round holidays, like Mexico, too! So, stop asking yourself ‘should I go on holiday at Easter?’ and start planning a break you’ll all love.
Easter 2023 Beach BreaksAll Inclusive Deals in School Holidays
A great way to keep a handle on your school holidays budget is an All Inclusive hotel that covers everything you need. Meals, drinks, entertainment and a range of sports and activities for all ages are usually part of the package so you can relax and enjoy your school break to the max. That should help stop the cries of “I’m bored”, if nothing else! And if you're looking for some of the best, we reckon All Inclusive holidays to Turkey should fit the bill.

Kids growing up? Maybe you want to show them more of the world now they’re older (like Morocco), or perhaps you’re looking for the right holiday for teens with younger siblings, such as Florida or Portugal. With everything from waterparks and theme parks to beach chill-outs and city glam, there’s something out there to keep them happy in their next school holidays, whatever they’re into.

We love the chance for an extra taste of summer in the autumn half term holidays – it’s such a treat after those first few weeks back in the routine of homework and early nights. October's a great time to go to places that have year-round T-shirt weather, such as Gran Canaria. Or how about Orlando’s theme parks for a Halloween-themed break?

February half term beach breaks
Is February good for family holidays? Absolutely! There’s nothing quite like escaping the UK at that point when it feels like the winter will never end. Destinations like Lanzarote are lovely and warm at this time of year. Book a hotel with a kids’ club and you might even be able to sneak off for a little Valentine’s celebration, whether that’s a cheeky cocktail by the pool or a peaceful visit to the spa – it might not be precisely the 14th, but who’s keeping check?

Summer half term holidays
Summer's only just beginning by the May or June break and, let's be honest, the British weather’s not exactly reliable! So, book a half-term beach holiday to put some sun in your step and give the kids a chance to refresh before the last few weeks of the school year. We recommend Menorca, along with the other Balearic Islands – they're warming up at this time of year and are only a short flight away, so you can really make the most of your week off the school run.
