The UK’s Johnny-Come-Lately heat wave has left us all dreaming about doing something other spend all day at work while the sun shines. But while the weather remains warm, it will probably be fleeting, as UK summers inevitably are; soon, we’ll be digging out our wellies and wondering if it was all just a dream. But a fortnight on a beach sipping cocktails, or taking a dip in the pool doesn’t have to be just a dream - you can still bag yourself a last minute deal and be on your way to paradise before you can say “Sangria!”
Tenerife – With the average temperature in July at 21 degrees (currently on par with the UK temperature) Tenerife is ideal for those looking for a well-deserved break. With golden sandy beaches, clear blue waters and plenty to keep the kids entertained, this destination can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If this sounds like the place for you, why not look into late deals to Tenerife? You could be jetting off sooner than you think.
Portugal – Nestled on the Atlantic coast, Portugal could be just the place you’ve been searching for. A perfect balance of soft sandy beaches and sites to be explored, Portugal is more than just a sunshine resort. Visit Sintra for the historical buildings, palaces and castles and Lisbon for cosmopolitan nightlife.
Costa del Sol – With traditional towns surrounded by quaint hilltop villages, the Costa del Sol has a peaceful side for those seeking the sun without the noise and crowds of some of the other destinations there. Nerja is a beautiful town on the southern coast, with beachside bars and traditional restaurants serving fresh fish and classic Spanish dishes.
Ibiza – For those looking for more than just a sun lounger and hot sands, consider a week in Ibiza to let you hair down. Known for its lively nightlife and famous clubs, Ibiza is the ideal destination for those who love to party. Due to its reputation for such vibrant hedonism, the beautiful beaches and sites often get forgotten, but Ibiza has the best of both worlds, so try and check both out.
Lanzarote – One of the Canary Islands, Lanzarote is very hot and temperatures can soar tremendously in the summer months. If you do get too hot though, the beaches offer a wide range of water sports, from jet skiing to banana boating, so there are plenty of ways to cool down! Beachside bars and cafés overlook the sea, offering fresh fish and tapas dishes - perfect for relaxing on a summer’s evening.
