Popular Spain Holiday Destinations

Spanish holidays have it all

A sparkling coastline stretching more than 3,000 miles, a climate to die for and more tapas than you could possibly eat – that’s Spain. Mix famously vibrant spots like Benidorm, Marbella and Ibiza with whitewashed mountain villages and sophisticated cities and you’ll see why Spain holidays are so popular.

The best beaches are in Spain

If you’re looking for beaches that buzz, head to the Costa Del Sol. But if it’s white sands and vibrant resorts that float your boat, then the Balearics or the Costa Blanca would be perfect for you. For cliffs and coves, the Costa Brava has every box ticked, while the volcanic sands of the Canary Islands provide a unique landscape for your seaside strolls. Whether you're looking for beach holidays in Spain or a stay at Spanish beach resorts, you'll find plenty to explore.

Spanish city breaks

Get the best of both worlds – you’ll find beaches galore, all topped off with superb cities in Spain. With arty architecture and non-stop nightlife, a Barcelona City Break really fuels the senses. Home of the exquisite Alhambra, a Moorish palace, Granada in Andalucía has the romantic feel of old-world Spain. Or discover the charming capital of Gran Canaria, Las Palmas, a bustling city overflowing with Spanish history and culture. Foodie? Majorca’s Palma has you covered.
