    “Fancy a getaway in May?”

    We’ve got your half-term plans covered.

    Best May half-term holidays

    May half term’s the perfect time of year to jet off on a family-friendly holiday. Things are just starting to warm up on home turf, but there’s no need to bank on the British weather for your fix of pre-summer sunshine. Europe’s temperatures are hovering in the 20s, so you could be topping up your tan in just a couple of hours. The beaches and sights are quieter, too, making it the ideal time for a beat-the-crowds break with the whole gang. You can often bag a bargain trip, too.


    Take a look at where you should head, and browse our May holiday deals to get there for less...

    GRAN CANARIA, CANARY ISLANDS

    The Canary Islands have been soaking up the sun all winter, so Gran Canaria’s a winner if you’re after some spring sunshine. Book a holiday to Gran Canaria and the family can look forward to toasty temperatures in the mid to high 20s – ideal for days of topping up your tan on the island’s white-sand beaches. Active families are covered, too. In the larger-than-life coastal resorts, sandy strips come loaded with watersports. Head inland, meanwhile, and you’ll see there’s more to this place than lounger-loaded beaches. A big chunk of the island’s been made a biosphere reserve – sort of like a national park – thanks to the unique plants and micro climates that crop up in the centre.

    IBIZA, BALEARIC ISLANDS

    Ibiza might be known as Spain’s party playground, but this Balearic Island’s big-name clubs and A-list DJ sets are just the tip of the iceberg. Away from the nightlife-focused resorts of San Antonio and Playa d’en Bossa, it sings to a different tune. Tucked into Cala Tarida, the family-friendly TUI SENSATORI Resort Ibiza’s scored a standout spot on the White Isle. It comes with a kids’ splash park and a sandy beach on its doorstep. The sea here is calm and shallow, so it’s perfect for families holidaying with children that aren’t confident swimmers. May is one of the best times to visit Ibiza – you’ll avoid the peak season crowds and the temperatures are already creeping up to the mid-20s.


    Book a break to the Balearics…

    DALAMAN AREA, TURKEY

    From spice-laden bazaars and ancient sights to tree-cloaked mountains and postcard-worthy beaches, half-term holidays to Turkey are as action packed as they come. Fancy a family adventure? Book a day out on our Turtle Watching trip and you’ll sail down the Dalyan River in search of turtles. Look out for freshwater turtles popping their little heads above the surface of the river. And when you get closer to beautiful Iztuzu Beach, it’s time to keep your eyes peeled for the rare loggerhead sea turtles. Not your bag? How about taking the kids on a treasure hunt onboard a pirate ship? Head out on the Pirates of Sarigerme excursion.

    COSTA DORADA, SPAIN

    Spain’s Costas have cemented their place on the holiday hotlist. If you’ve got the family in tow, the Costa Dorada’s spot on. The Golden Coast turns out 92 kilometres of honey-hued sands along the coastline between Barcelona and Tarragona – all warmed up by an impressive 300 days of sunshine a year. Book a room at one of the resort’s many kid-friendly hotels, like the TUI FAMILY LIFE Avenida Suites, and you can spend days building a kingdom of sandcastles on the beach. Or, pay a visit to Spain’s biggest theme park, PortAventura World – it’s home to Europe’s tallest rollercoaster, as well as plenty of attractions for children aged under five.


    Fancy sunning yourself on a holiday to Spain? Right this way…

    Ready to book a week in the sun?

    free kids’ place, and for more tips on where to take the family on holiday, check out where’s hot in May and the best family holiday destinations.
