Holidays for kids? Yeah, we've got 'em. Have a nosy at our range of packages and cheap family holidays for 2024.

Our TOP jollies for the whole fam

Newsflash: whisking the kiddos away for some family fun doesn't have to cost a fortune or stress you out. That's right - we've got cheap deals on family hols packed with ALL the goodies - from daily activities to buffets fit for even the pickiest eaters. Not to mention kids' clubs, although let's be honest - those are mostly for you. You enjoy that piña colada in peace. Dave from our recruitment team took his family to Marsenses Paradise Club Hotel and it went down an absolute treat. 'You can celebrate Sensi's (the hotel mascot's) birthday every Thursday! And if the kids fancy a mocktail, they can try a Purple Princess from the bar.' We're sold, Dave.

We've got kid-friendly vacays with...

... waterparks, of course!

Bigger is better, right? We’re talking about waterparks obviously, and these hotels have some of the best - so you don’t even need to leave the resort! Raft rides, lazy rivers and twisting tube slides that make you wish you didn’t have that second ice cream after lunch. Turkey holidays are never short of some waterslide action, but wherever you fancy, we’ve got it all, so why not bag a half-term holiday for you and the kids? Highlight of your year? Sorted.

... the best kids' clubs

Nothing beats that feeling of hitting the beach with your nearest and dearest for some well-earned family time. Here at On the Beach, we want to make sure you and the fam have EVERY opportunity to make the best possible memories together during your stay (arguments and tantrums kept to a minimum). Whether the kids want to hang out with youngsters their own age, get messy doing arts and crafts, or you just want to enjoy some kid-free time together, having the option of a kids' clubs can be a great addition to any family holibobs.

Hey, sometimes you just need a bit of peace and quiet while the kiddos are off colouring in and playing dress-up. We get it. That’s why we’ve got loads of hotels with kids’ clubs, activities and mini discos, so there’s no chance of the young ones getting bored - and no chance of you getting sick of 'em!

... activities for the whole fam

Is it even a family holiday until you've argued over a game of mini golf? The kids think they got a hole-in-one, Dad thinks they cheated, Mum thinks it's just a game and everyone should get over it. We think it's all part of the fun! Luckily, we've got a ton of hotels with mini-golf courses on site, and honestly, that's just a small taste of what our family-friendly resorts offer. Think water polo (that's the one with the super-attractive swim caps and goggles), archery (so the kids can channel their inner Katniss Everdeen), volleyball, watersports galore, and loads more. In short: there's no chance of getting bored if you book one of our fam-friendly hotels.

... kid-friendly menus

Family jollies are all fun and games until it comes to meal time and the kiddos turn their nose up at anything that isn't a chip or a chicken nugget. Thankfully, our kid-friendly hotels know what's up, which is why loads of them offer special kids' menus and separate buffet sections just for the tots, teens and picky in-betweens. Think crispy nuggs, saucy spaghetti, sweet onion rings (not to be confused with calamari - been there), cheesy pizzas, fresh fruit, ice cream, and plenty more to promise full bellies and happy faces. That's fuss-free dining, no matter how fussy your party is.

Best destinations for a family jolly

There are loads of places to keep on your radar for a family holiday, whether you're looking for the best beaches, the biggest pools or the liveliest kids' clubs. All-inclusive Turkey holidays are an absolute shout for getting your money's worth, with jam-packed hotels that really do have everything. Waterparks, daily activities, restaurants everywhere you turn - the lot. And if you're just after a classic beach break (if it ain't broke, don't fix it), then Spain is always a winner. The Canary islands even stay sunny through the winter months, making it perfect for jetting off in October half term on a holiday to Fuerteventura. So...where do you fancy?

What kind of family holiday do you fancy?

All-inclusive

Bob Marley once sang don't worry, be happy - and we can't say for certain, but we're pretty sure he was talking about all-inclusive getaways with the fam. Like, 99% sure. Maximum happy vibes and zero worries, because all your holiday essentials are covered in one price tag. Drinks? Check. Food? Checkity-check. Fun-packed activities? Checkarooney. You've got endless ice cream to sort those toddler tantrums right out (AKA, when Dad loses at mini golf), waterparks for some next-level fun, beaches for...well, we probably don't need to explain that one. And - most importantly - kids' clubs - so you can kick back for an hour or two with a cocktail doing diddly-squat, knowing the kiddos are having a blast with all that face-painting, ball-pit-diving, disco-dancing goodness.

And there's no one-size-fits-all rule here either, there are loads of different All Inclusive holidays to choose from, for all types of families. Whether you're looking for something a little bit cheaper or you want to splash out on a bit of luxury. Whether it's an all-inclusive holiday to Spain, Greece, or even Turkey - we've got it all covered!

Luxury

We all deserve a treat every now and again, so why not use yours up on a five-star hol with the fam? We've got some cracking five-star family hotels up our T-shirt sleeve. Don't just take our word for it, though! Our five-star hotels have been thoroughly researched on Trip Advisor, and carefully selected for you and your squad. Splashing out a little bit extra to stay somewhere swanky could be just what you need for a vacay you won't forget.

Cheap

Looking to score some major cool points with the kiddos without your bank account throwing a tantrum? You're in luck! We've scoped out the ultimate fam-friendly getaways that are so wallet-friendly, even your kid's piggy bank could chip in. Dive into destinations where the little ones can run wild, and you can chill (or try to) because let's face it, giving your kids those "remember when" moments shouldn't cost an arm and a leg.

We're all about beach breaks, too. Although you probably knew that already. But beach breaks on a budget? We love ‘em even more! Luckily, we’ve got just the hotels for you if you’re after maximum fun for minimum spend. All that on top of our flexible payments scheme? You're practically robbing us blind. We've got the inside scoop on kid-friendly jollies that are so easy on the purse-strings, even your bank account will be sliding into our DMs with a thank-you note.

LGBTQ+-friendly

When we say we offer family jollies for everyone, we aren’t lying. With LGBTQ-friendly hotels that are perfect for getting the whole team away, everyone can be themselves. Just how it should be. Sun it up in Mexico or get away to Gran Canaria - wherever you choose, you can relax in our most inclusive hotels where everyone is free to be exactly who they want to be.

Going abroad in the school holidays

Fitting your family holibobs around term time is almost as stressful as trying to organise Hair Wash Day. And 10x as expensive. Firstly there's deciding when to actually go (Easter? Summer? Christmas?), and then there's deciding where. But before you get your swimwear in a twist, we've got your back. We've picked out some of our best school holiday deals below - so you can grab a bargain for the whole fam!

Who's in your fam?

We know families come in all sorts of shapes and sizes - and we've got the holibobs for everyone. Just take a look!

We're travelling with babies and toddlers

Nap time, playtime, snack time - toddler life doesn’t sound too bad, does it? Yeah, they can be a bit of a handful, but once you’re on that beach…well, everyone’s happy. It might take a few tantrums and toilet trips to get there, but at the right hotel, holidays with the little ones are a doddle. We’re talking splash pools, swing sets, kids' clubs, and all-day ice cream to keep everyone occupied. Not forgetting the mini disco songs that get stuck in your head for days on end (call them annoying all you want, but we both know you’ll be searching them on YouTube when you’re home). Because - sandcastles and sticky handprints aside - beach holidays are a chance for everyone to play.

From Fuerteventura holidays for the whole fam to all-inclusive family breaks for the littlest ones and everything in between, with On the Beach, and we'll make it easy for you to plan, book and enjoy. We've even got holidays with short flights so you can be there in the blink of an eye (okay, maybe ever so slightly longer than that). But we know how tricky the getting there part of your jolly can be when you've got cranky tots in tow, and as far as we’re concerned, the quicker you land, the quicker you can get to the good stuff…like the beach (duh).

We're taking the WHOLE fam

Got your own little army of kiddos? Hey, we're not judging - people had to do something to entertain themselves before the days of Netflix and TikTok trends. Or maybe you're looking for a group holiday where you and your friends can pool all the kids together for a jolly? First of all, we hope you've got earplugs (kidding), second of all - good luck (again, kidding), and thirdly - that's why we've got the best spots for some BIG family fun. We're talking roomy apartments where you can actually close the door during temper tantrums, enough pools to keep everyone happy, and entertainment for all ages. So what're you waiting for? Time to get the whole gang together.

We've got deals on hotels with rooms big enough to give everyone their own space (very important), plus loads to get stuck into on site, so no one's gonna be bored.

We're travelling with teens

Teens - too cool to tag along with Mum and Dad on holiday, but not too cool for you to do all their washing. Gotta love 'em. Well, splash pools and kids’ clubs just aren’t going to cut it anymore. Let's be honest, there are only so many replays of Danza Kuduro that the teens can take. Although, we can't relate. We still think it's a banger. But they need something cool. Multiple pools for multiple swims. Games rooms so they can escape the heat. Bangin' watersports (the plunge-you-into-the-sea kind, not the quiet-pedalo-ride-with-Dad kind). Oh, and Wi-Fi, obvs, because heaven forbid they go more than a week without keeping their pals back home updated on what they're doing.

Oh, and for the perfect in-between? Go for a hotel with interconnecting family rooms. It means your teens get their own space (and so do you), but there's an internal door so you can still enjoy family time/keep an eye on 'em. 

Trust us - we've got some of the best hotels for teenagers that are guaranteed to score you some serious parent points. They're proper sick. Yeah. We're down with the kids.
