Jet2 reveals the short-haul holiday destinations that are ALREADY getting booked up for 2027
TIRED of the cold weather already? Check out these 10 destinations that are the hottest resorts for summer holidays next year with cheap pints and waterparks.
Jet2 has revealed the most popular resorts for holidays in 2027 with plenty of bookings already – and leading the charge is a firm favourite for Brits.
In number one spot is Benidorm, the resort city in Alicante well-known for cheap food and drink, party strips and golden beaches.
With the price of a pint as high as £5.50 in the UK, it’s no wonder Brits flock to the boozy destination where it can be as little as €1.80 (£1.50) – and there’s plenty of deals to be had at happy hour.
One man even moved from the UK to Benidorm after one visit, claiming it’s like “paradise” with its “laid-back vibe”.
One-way flights in the summer to Alicante can be as little as £28 and take less than two and a half hours.
With loveholidays, breaks to Benidorm cost from £289pp – this is for a seven-night holiday in the Camposol Hotel which comes with its own pool and includes flights from London Luton.
Other Spanish resorts that made the list of being the most-booked include Salou and Benalmadena.
Salou which sits on the Costa Daurada coastline came in eighth position.
The destination is popular particularly with families as it’s near one of Europe’s largest theme parks, PortAventura World.
The theme park has record-breaking rollercoasters in Ferrari Land as well as lots of attractions and live shows.
Meanwhile, Benalmadena is a coastal town in Southern Spain and is another spot near a theme park, this time it’s Tivoli World.
It’s also known for its popular Puerto Marina which is lined with seaside restaurants, bars and clubs.
Two destinations in Tenerife are also amongst some of the most popular which isn’t too surprising considering its short flight time and high summer temperatures.
From the UK, the island can be reached in four and a half hours and temperatures sit at 30C during between July and September.
The coastal resort areas of Costa Adeje on the southwestern coast came in second place on the most-booked list.
Any waterpark fans will love it as Costa Adeje is home to Siam Park – a Thai-themed waterpark with huge racing slides, waterfalls and a wave pool.
If you head 12-minutes up the coast by car to Playa del Duque, you’ll be in a spot loved by celebrities thanks to its beautiful beach and upmarket shops.
It’s been reported that singers Shakira, Mariah Carey and Queen’s Brian May have all stayed in a nearby hotel.
One-way flights in the summer start from £44 and with loveholidays, breaks start from £329pp.
This is for a seven-night stay at the Duque Nest Hotel which has a private swimming pool and includes flights from London Stansted.
Also in Tenerife is Playa de las Americas which came in sixth spot.
The purpose- built holiday resort has bars, nightclubs, restaurants and beaches with either golden or black volcanic sand.
The third most-booked resort for summer next year is Alanya in Turkey.
The historic beach city on the coast can be as high as 34C in the summer and when its time to cool off, visitors can head to the biggest waterpark in the region.
Called Water Planet Aqua Park, it has 24 water slides, a wave pool, splash parks for younger children and even a man-made rafting course.
When it comes to beaches, Kleopatra Beach is considered one of the best in Turkey.
The 1.2 mile stretch of sand has clear blue waters – and it is named after the Queen of Egypt.
Other spots to make it onto the list include Marmaris along the Turkish Riviera and Cyprus which has around 320 days of sunshine per year.
Another is Palma Nova in Majorca which has three pretty beaches all connected by one long promenade lined with souvenir shops and hotels.
