Holiday Types Under £300pp
A Guide To Holidays On A £300pp Budget
With a budget of around £300pp, you can certainly explore more areas or include more into the price of your holiday, so it's worth working out what you really want from a holiday, whether it's to ensure you don't spend anything else while you're away on an all inclusive escape, or whether you'd rather discover somewhere further afield on your budget, and treat yourself to a few meals out.
One of the key things is to be flexible. The more flexible you are the better the deals you'll find. Whether that's being flexible on destination and going to Spain instead of Portugal, or being flexible on date and grabbing a late deal because there are flight seats or rooms going spare at a hotel.
You might be tempted to book your flight and accommodation separate, especially if the flights are with a low-cost airline like Wizzair, easyJet or Ryanair, and your accommodation is an apartment on Airbnb. This won't necessarily give you the financial protection you need so make sure you have comprehensive travel insurance too.
Top Destinations Under £300pp
If you're not sure where you want to visit just yet, there are a number of holiday destinations under £300pp that might take your fancy.
Wales, UK
As one of the UK's most popular holiday destinations, Wales has a little bit of everything, city breaks in Cardiff, adventure escapes in Snowdonia, and beach holidays in Anglesey, to name just a few. And there's accommodation types to suit all budgets.
Algarve, Portugal
Especially during the low and winter seasons, the Algarve can be a good option for a bit of sunshine, with areas like Vilamoura, Lagos and Albufeira, and enjoying a golf or spa break with relaxing panoramic views across the golf course is also possible.
Costa Brava, Spain
The Costa Brava is another great sunny holiday destination. Cheap flights with low cost airlines like Ryanair, budget accommodation in the form of 3-star hotels and holiday parks, and plenty of sunshine, make this another place to check out.
Turkey
While rare, keep an eye out for last minute holidays to Turkey, especially at the start and end of the holiday season when the hotels are quiet. You may even be able to secure yourself an all-inclusive holiday within a £300 budget in the likes of Icmeler and Marmaris in Dalaman.
City And Beach Holidays Under £300pp
Cities like Barcelona, Palma (in Majorca) and Nice, are ideal destinations if you want the best of both worlds. Spend your days amazed by the architecture, browsing the museums, enjoying the cafe culture, or simply relax by the pool or on the beach.
Each has it's own unique offering, all with plenty of nightlife options if you fancy a few drinks on the town as well. Better still, all three cities are served by low-cost airlines meaning your budget will go further when you are looking at your accommodation options.
UK Holidays Under £300pp
Whether you're looking for a break per person, or a family holiday for less than £300 in total, there's no better destination than the UK. A staycation can be a great way to save, avoiding flight costs (and delays).
Spending a few days in the Scottish countryside at a secluded B&B or by the seaside at a caravan park in Devon, can both be enjoyed on a budget, offering the chance to escape on your terms. And if it's relaxation you're after, you may even be able to get a spa treatment included at certain spa hotels.
Popular Budget Friendly Destinations
All Inclusive Holidays Under £300
Although they aren't very common, every so often you may spot an all inclusive holiday under your budget. These can be in places like Majorca, Tenerife or Turkey, and sometimes at the last minute too, so be flexible to find the best offers. Booking these will help ensure you spend very little in destination, with meals, soft drinks and even some alcoholic drinks being included in the price.
Booking Your Holiday
If you're on a strict budget, be flexible and always keep your eyes peeled for the latest deals. Brands like us, Dealchecker and Travelzoo can help highlight some of the brilliant holiday deals out there but always do your research and check the terms and conditions. Some of the lowest prices will be package holidays that include a flight and hotel, and might be in a destination's low season, for example, which means that public transport is less common, or certain features at the hotel like pools and kids' clubs aren't open in winter. Always check for companies with ABTA and/or ATOL protection and the most up-to-date advice on your destination with the FCDO.
Free Child Places
Whether self catering, half board or all inclusive, the big tour operators have thousands of free child place holidays, including on cheap holidays within certain budgets. And if you book through companies like TUI or Jet2holidays (and flying with their airlines), you'll usually find that a piece of check-in luggage is included and airport transfers too.
