Summer Holidays
Holidays from £199 per person
Summer holidays are like ice lollies – always refreshing and perfect when served up under the sun! And by ‘summer’ we mean proper summer, none of this hot one minute and cold the next palaver.
We’re talking sizzling hot sand and ice-cold cocktails, sunbathing ‘til you’re sweating and cooling off in the sparkling Med. We’re talking summer holidays where you can literally hear the stress melt away, from the lazy beach days with a belly full from the buffet to the all-night party in paradise.
Whether you want to be whisked away to a worry-free all-inclusive getaway or a romantic city break, a fun-filled fiesta with the fam or a cheap and cheerful beach escape under the sun, our comparison service ensures you’ll find the best value deal for your next summer holiday. After all, the first stop on the way to holiday bliss is a bargain!

Where should you go in summer 2026?
You know that post-shower-sat-on-the-balcony-on-holiday feeling? That in-between time after sunbathing all day before going out out at night? Take off to one of these fab summer 2026 holiday destinations and you can have that feeling every night.
Greece
For sunsets that make your heart crumble like feta, get yourself to Greece. Santorini and Mykonos are unbeatable for couples after a romantic escapade. These jewels of the Aegean get busy in peak season (must be tough being so pretty), but they’re sure to leave an impression. The bigger islands like Crete, Corfu, Naxos and Rhodes are fantastic for family holidays thanks to their laidback vibe, endless sunshine and activities. Think medieval towns, waterparks and beaches so beautiful they make the brochure look average.

Turkey
Turkey takes the top spot for affordable, action-packed family holidays. With picturesque sandy beaches along the Turquoise Coast, tons of waterparks, kebab-solutely delicious cuisine and heaps of history, Turkey turns it on for the whole fam! Lovebirds will want to check out Antalya, one of the country’s most popular honeymoon destinations thanks to its gorg beaches and chic hotels. If you’re looking for a bit of all-inclusive indulgence, add Bodrum to your bucket list. Picture pine-fringed private beaches and a peaceful atmosphere.

Spain
Spain is basically one giant romantic backdrop, so all you smitten kittens will have no trouble finding your dream date spot (#relationshipgoals). For easygoing days, spectacular sunsets and knees-up nights, it’s hard to beat Majorca – make it your own personal love island, minus the drama, of course. For family holidays, head to the costas. Be it the Costa Blanca or the Costa del Sol, you’ll find a string of resorts with beaches to burn and tons of activities. They tend not to costa fortune either!

Malta
Malta is the perfect combo of beach holiday and city break. Its capital, Valletta, and the ‘Silent City’ of Mdina (no cars allowed!) are bite-sized beauts that don’t demand too much time but won’t disappoint. Families and beach bums should look no further than Malta’s longest stretch of sand at Mellieħa Bay. With plenty of kid-friendly hotels, watersports and quaint seaside towns all across the island, the hardest part here is choosing where to visit first. Remember to pack your snorkel!

Portugal
Beach holidays to the Algarve are perf for gallivanting about with the gang. Here, the golden beaches always put on a postcard performance and there are more coastal golf courses than you can swing a sand wedge at – think St. Andrews but sunnier! Portugal’s cosmopolitan cities make them a playground for foodie couples, and at just a two-hour flight from the UK, Lisbon and Porto are legends of the long weekend. Want to get away from it all? Majestic Madeira is where it’s at.

Florida
The Sunshine State doesn’t mess around when it comes to holiday action. There are amazing cities, stunning beaches, world-leading theme parks and golf courses galore, so holidays to Florida are always fab. For a family holiday that will knock the kids’ socks off (it’ll be too hot for socks anyway), Orlando is in a league of its own. With Disney World, Universal Studios and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – just to name a few – the whole fam better be ready for the ride of their lives.

Albania
We’re sorry to break it to you but if you don’t have Albania on your holiday radar then your radar may be broken (have you tried turning it off and on again?). With white-sand beaches and sky-blue sea, Albania is the Mediterranean destination you didn’t know you needed. Getting there is part of the adventure too, with its top beach resorts best accessed by boat from Corfu. The extra travel is worth it in our humble opinion as it’s cheap as chips and there are fewer crowds.

Find answers to your questions
Where is cheap to go in summer 2026?
Turkey, the Canaries and mainland Spain are the cheapest destinations this summer. Turkey’s Turquoise Coast is as delightful as it sounds, and you won’t have to pay as much as some of the swisher sections of the Med to enjoy it. Year-round sunshine means Tenerife is always quality, while the Spanish mainland never fails to serve up cheap summer holidays. You’ll find bargains in the wild Costa Brava, the ever-sunny Costa del Sol (it’s in the name) and the home of Benners, the Costa Blanca.
How can I avoid the crowds?
Seeking a summer holiday without the crowds? Avoid school holidays (if you can) and choose your destination wisely. There are plenty of places that are less popular than, say, Santorini, but just as pretty. Paros is a great example. Greece’s bigger islands, such as Crete and Rhodes, are also good picks as there’s lots of space to spread out. And have you heard about Albania? It has long flown under the radar, but it’s unlikely to last. Go now if you want white-sand Mediterranean beaches without the throngs of tourists!
How can I save money on my summer holiday?
If you’re reading this, then you’re already saving money by comparing summer holiday deals with icelolly.com. Congrats, you’re off to a flyer! Budget-conscious families should look for deals in the first or last weeks of the summer school holidays and take advantage of free kids’ places. It’s also worth checking the school dates for nearby areas. For instance, schools in Newcastle may return a week earlier than in Edinburgh, meaning flights from Newcastle Airport will be cheaper. If you’re not tied to the school holidays, consider travelling in early or late summer.
Why compare holidays with icelolly.com?
By bringing together the best holiday offers from the UK’s top travel providers, icelolly.com allows you to see all your options at once, giving you the chance to find the deal that’s best (and cheapest) for you! Our handy filtering tool narrows down the search even further. And, since we’re unbiased, you can be sure that when you compare holidays with us you’ll be getting the best deal on your next holiday. We’re pretty chuffed about that!
Should I pick an ATOL-protected holiday?
In a word, yes. All holidays on icelolly.com are ATOL protected, meaning that if the travel company you book with goes bust, you won’t be left in the lurch. ATOL protection ensures your money will be refunded if your holiday provider fails financially – even if your trip is already underway.
