Holiday Destinations From Cardiff

Amsterdam, Netherlands

Hop on a short flight and find yourself in the effortlessly cool streets of Amsterdam. Think scenic canal strolls, cosy brown cafes, and museums that genuinely impress (hello, Van Gogh and Anne Frank). It's compact, full of character, and ideal for everything from a romantic weekend to a mates' city break.

Benidorm, Spain

Sunshine, sangria and a beachfront that stretches for miles, Benidorm has been a firm favourite for good reason. Whether you're there for lazy beach days, big nights out, or family-friendly fun in the sun, this Spanish hotspot delivers with a smile and a mojito in hand.

Tenerife, Spain

With warm weather all year round, Tenerife is your go-to for winter sun or summer adventure. You've got dramatic volcanic scenery in the lava fields, lovely beaches, waterparks for the kids, and mountain villages for a more local feel.

Corfu, Greece

Charming, green and full of hidden coves, Corfu is one of Greece's prettiest islands. Relax on sandy beaches, wander through sleepy old towns, and tuck into fresh seafood with a view.

Paphos, Cyprus

Paphos is where ancient temples meet modern resorts. Explore archaeological sites, paddle in warm Mediterranean waters, and enjoy endless sunny days. It's a brilliant all-rounder, ideal for couples, families and anyone looking for a mix of culture, beach and a laid-back pace.

Holiday Types From Cardiff Airport

Last Minute Escapes

Still haven't chosen where to go? Last-minute getaways from Cardiff are a great way to chase the sun without the stress. Whether it's a spontaneous weekend in the city or a full week on the beach, a bit of flexibility can land you a brilliant bargain.

All Inclusive

Love the idea of checking in and switching off? Go all-inclusive. With your flights, accommodation, food, drinks and more already covered, it's the easiest way to relax completely, and forget about how much you're spending. Tour operators like TUI will often also include check-in luggage and airport transfers.

Villa Holidays

Fancy your own space with a private pool? Villa holidays are an excellent choice. Book your villa and flight separately or together, and don't forget to add on things like welcome packs. It's usually worth adding in car hire too so that you've got the freedom to explore at your own pace.

Family Holidays

Being a relatively small airport means Cardiff is much easier to travel through as a family. And there are some great family destinations on offer. Tenerife, Majorca and Rhodes all hit the spot for a family friendly getaway, and look out for great kids' clubs and splash parks to help keep the little ones busy.
