Sun, sea and sand

Our beach holidays land you on some of the world’s most famous shorelines. Plenty have you staying right on the sand, with others just a short walk or drive away. They're dotted all over the globe, too – from far-flung spots like Thailand to closer-to-home favourites like Spain. And whether you’re flying solo, going for a romantic getaway or travelling in a group or with family, there are thousands of hotels to choose from, including our Holiday Villages and our TUI BLUE collection. So, finding your ideal spot’s a breeze. Plus, they’re award-winning, too. We scooped a whopping 20 gongs at the British Travel Awards 2024.

Close to the beach

Pick from places right on the beach and others that capture panoramic sea views from a clifftop plot. You can often take advantage of your beachside bolthole with a sea-view room, too. They even come as standard at some hotels. 

Lots of destinations 

From the Canaries to the Caribbean, we’ve got beach holidays covered across the globe. So, whether you’re looking to go long-haul or just fancy a quick flight to a European hotspot, there’s plenty of choice.

FAQs

Where is the best place for a beach holiday?

For a close-to-home spot with top-notch beaches, the Balearics are well worth a look at. You’ll find tonnes of Blue Flag beaches split between Majorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera. Further afield, the Caribbean’s a hotspot for beach-lovers – the Dominican Republic, Jamaica and Cuba host some of its most-snapped spots.

Where is the cheapest beach holiday?

Spain’s usually a good option for last-minute beach holidays, although the Greek Islands have their own share of great deals as well. Travelling to long-haul destinations between May and October – the Caribbean’s low season – tends to come with a lower price tag, too. For more, check out our beach deals.

Where is the most popular beach holiday?

Majorca’s one of the top destinations when it comes to beach breaks, thanks to a list of more than 250 beaches. It’s a big hit for families, with swathes featuring shallow waters that gently shelve into the sea.

What is a beach holiday?

Beach holidays land you in hotels close to the coast. Some might be bordered by a beach, while others will be a short walk or drive away. And, when you book a beach holiday with TUI, you’ll have transfers, flights and luggage included as part of your package.
