What is Platinum?
TUI Platinum holidays are a collection of handpicked, premium hotels, which all have either a 4T or 5T rating. (After all, we all like a bit of the good life.) They all feature standout facilities and top-tier service that’s highly rated by our customers. Beachfront, family-focused, adults-only – although our hotels meet the same high standards, they’ve each got a different calling card, too.
Top-rated hotels
Handpicked by our travel experts, Platinum hotels are all 4T and 5T-rated, with facilities that stand out from the crowd. Think stylish pool scenes, beachfront postcodes and à la carte dining spots. Most importantly, every Platinum collection hotel is highly rated, scoring either ‘good’ or ‘excellent’ with 90% of our customers.
Hotels to suit you
From the once-in-a-lifetime trip – where a swish hotel is essential – to core-memory family holidays, our Platinum collection helps level up your getaway. Whether you love glitzy interiors, adults-only relaxation or gourmet dining, there’s something in the collection that’s sure to tick your boxes.
Premium add-ons
Sometimes a luxury holiday goes beyond a top-tier hotel. You can make the journey even more luxurious by splashing out on a few holiday extras, like private taxi transfers or Premium seat selection. Or, why not stretch the budget to a room upgrade for that ‘pinch-me’ feeling on arrival, whether your ideal holiday scene is an over-water bungalow, a private villa or an exclusive swim-up suite.
