TUI Small and Friendly Hotels

Small & Friendly Self Catering

Many of TUI's Small And Friendly hotels are available on a self catering basis, allowing you to buy local produce, cook up a tasty meal in your apartment or simply head out and explore the local restaurants and tavernas.

From the Greek islands of Skiathos and Rhodes to the exotic beaches of the Caribbean, there are plenty of self catering options available for 7 nights or even 14 night stays. While many are studios or rooms with small kitchenettes so that you can rustle up a little breakfast, others are apartments with full kitchens, meaning you can head to the stores and try your hand at some of the local dishes.
