What are Holiday Villages?

Holiday Villages are TUI family hotels designed around activities, entertainment and childcare for different age groups. They’re All Inclusive, making mealtimes and snacking super easy. Each resort offers a bundle of activities alongside swimming pools, evening entertainment and kids’ clubs, with selected facilities varying by hotel.

Plenty of pools

As well as a roomy main pool with lots of sunbathing space, you’ll find things like kids’ splash parks and shallow pools. A handful of our Holiday Villages have onsite waterparks, too.

Entertainment and activities

There’s never a dull moment at a Holiday Village. These family resorts are kitted out with kids' clubs, sports courts where you can get competitive, stages that light up in the evening and games all the family will love.

Mealtimes made easy

All of our Holiday Villages are All Inclusive as standard, and they all feature at least two á la carte or themed restaurants. And look out for Russell the Brussel – he’ll encourage kids to eat healthily at mealtimes.

What's included in a Holiday Village?

You can get involved with as much or as little as you like at Holiday Villages. With big pools, hundreds of daytime activities to choose from and family-friendly evening entertainment, everyone from tots to grown-ups can join in the fun.

What makes Holiday Villages different?

Football Academy

This one’s for all those football enthusiasts aged 4 to 15 – our Football Academy’s* the perfect place for them to perfect their skills and make new friends. Under the guidance of our experienced UEFA and FA-certified coaches, they’ll sharpen their passing, dribbling, attacking and defending abilities through different drills and challenges.

Aerial Adventure

Push yourself to your limits in a safe setting on our Aerial Adventure courses, which are kitted out with the likes of suspended walkways, climbing walls and ziplines. Anyone aged 6 and above can join in the fun – we just need parental consent for those under 18.

Swim Academy

Our Swim Academy* boosts water confidence for kids aged 3 and up. These immersive, themed group sessions are full of fun, and tailored to kids of different abilities. They’ll practise their balance and buoyancy skills, and will be taking their first strokes in no time.

Water-based activities

There’s splashing good fun for all ages at these hotels – think aqua boarding, kids’ kayaking, water polo and water rollers, to name a few of the activities in the line-up. Some hotels come with waterparks, too, where you can whoosh down multi-lane racer slides or lounge around on lazy rivers.

Activities for adults

From adults' football and poker to sketch & sip to volleyball, there's plenty for adults to do at our Holiday Villages.

Toddler activities

Join one of our parent-and-toddler sessions for educational and sensory play, or, tots can get stuck in to things like arts and crafts, bug hunts and sandcastle building at the HV Creche*.

Sports and games

There’s no such thing as boredom at a Holiday Village. From sports like archery, Mini Fencing and Tiny Track Olympics, to our popular high-energy Bing Bong Bingo, we’ve got hundreds of activities suitable for all ages.
