August Holidays

August holidays are top-notch for all kinds of travellers. After all, there's no better time to soak up that vitamin D on the sands than the height of summer.

This is a favourite time for families to jet off on summer holidays. Kids are counting down to the end of school and the grown-ups can look forward to a sunny escape. Spain, Portugal, and Turkey all top of the list with their toasty temps, endless beaches, and All Inclusive hotels. Not to mention all the theme and water parks you can pack your days with. Or help the kids brush up on their Horrible History on trips to Cyprus, Greece, and Egypt where they can visit the famous landmarks from their favourite lesson at school. Who knows, you might learn a thing or two too.

If you're missing the shade of the tropical palm trees, want to hunt for wildlife, or just love a good flight, August can be a great time for a long-haul holiday. Fiesta your way through Mexico - Cancun is party central while Riviera Maya is home to the world's biggest reef. Or treat yourself to a luxury escape to the Caribbean and the Maldives where the only thing you have to worry about is choosing your island.

But if you've only got time for a short city break, August is a great time of year to get your sightseeing hat on. The days are longer, al fresco dining is all the rage, and the plazas and squares come to life. It's perfect for a trip to Reykjavik, with tonnes of festivals going on and there's more than just a few hours of sunlight. Or why not jet off on a vibrant holiday to Amsterdam, where the colours of the city pop and the weather is at its best for cycling through the city.

So grab yourself an ice cream, kick back, and relax, because we've got all kinds of deals on everything you need for the perfect holiday this August.
