The cheapest last-minute holiday destinations to book now revealed

Still after a cheap summer getaway? Well here’s where you can escape to in Europe without breaking the bank

The party island of Ibiza has been found to be this summer’s cheapest last-minute holiday destination.

The experts at Which? have sifted through thousands of travel deals to uncover the bargain package holidays that could save the day for last-minute bookers – including family favourite Tenerife, party capital Ibiza, and even the dazzling Moroccan coastline.

They analysed over 3,500 package holidays from the UK’s biggest holiday companies for the first week of August – which are still available to book now. 

Whilst African Morrocco came top of the list, it’s the rave capital of the Balearics Ibiza that came out as the cheapest in Europe. 

If you’re looking to combine sunshiney beaches with a buzzing nightlife, Ibiza is the perfect choice. You can get away for an average cost of £1,046 per person for a 7-day all-inclusive break – but some options start at as low as £804 per person. 

Bagging the third spot is Dalaman in Turkey at £1,057 per person, and Menorca at £1,100 per person.

If these all-inclusive options are a bit out of your price range, Which? also searched for the best prices for self-catering, room-only, B&B and half board (breakfast and one main meal) 

Dalaman was the best, with budget-friendly options averaging around £781. It was closely followed by Bodrum, which is also in Turkey, at £800 per person. This is perfect if you’re after scorching temperatures as it’s usually above 30C every day.

If you’re after a Greek escape, the lesser-known island Kalymnos averages at £840 per person for half board.

However, it’s important to remember if you’re going to be thrifty, that not going all-inclusive can often work out more expensive. This is due to additional costs such as food, drink and activities that can sometimes outweigh the deals. 

Rory Boland, editor of Which? Travel, said: ‘Our analysis shows you can have your pick of amazing destinations this summer without spending a fortune.

‘There is still plenty of availability at some of the most popular European seaside resorts this summer, but as we get closer to departure dates prices will only increase. Book quickly to get the best price.’
