Holidays to Salou fly into Reus airport which makes the flight times similar to Menorca. The resort has hotels to suit all budgets and there are always package holiday deals to this popular city. Most hotels have kids’ clubs to keep the little ones entertained and there are many affordable places to wine and dine if you don’t take an All Inclusive option. If you would like to combine your stay with a bit of culture and see some amazing sights then Barcelona is only 68 miles away.

Algarve

Albufeira is the busiest resort in the Algarve and offers a great balance of quality time with the family and relaxation for the adults. Cool off at Aqualand, see the marine life at Zoomarine or even check out the major city of Lisbon. You can even head up to Gibraltar where you’ll find tax-free items like in your local stores back home in the UK.  Flight time to Faro is roughly 2 hours and 45 minutes.

Bulgaria

Bulgaria ticks all the boxes when it comes to choosing your summer family holiday destination. It’s bubbling with value, with a three course meal and drinks for a family of four costing just £36. Flight time is only 3 hours and 15 minutes from the UK. Sunny Beach is the main resort with a beautiful blue flag beach and lots more going on. There are two waterparks to choose from but if you fancy staying dry why not try a couple of horse riding lessons? Or how does waterslides built into the hotel with free Wi-Fi sound?

Majorca

Probably the most popular with us Brits, Majorca is a great all-rounder.  Alcudia, amongst other resorts is fantastic for families and not as busy as the southern resorts such as Europe’s party capital, Magaluf. On the island you’ll find waterparks and great excursions ideal for a fun-filled stay. The Pirates Adventure show has had amazing audiences for 30 years and has performed to over 3 million customers. This is a must-see for you and your family. Palma is the capital of Majorca and has great history and culture for those of you who like to mix your holiday up. Again, the flight time is only short from the UK between 2 hours – 2 hours and 30 minutes.
