🌍 HOW FAR CAN YOUR FAMILY HOLIDAY BUDGET REALLY TAKE YOU?
Most families start with one question:
“How much is a week in Spain in the school holidays?”
But here’s the better question 👇
“What else could that same budget unlock?”
Let’s compare two real family holidays we’ve priced for August 2026…
🇪🇸 COSTA DEL SOL – CLASSIC FAMILY ALL INCLUSIVE
Costa del Sol | Fuengirola
🏨 Monarque Torreblanca
✈️ Flights from Bristol
🚌 Coach transfers
🍽️ All Inclusive
🏖️ 270m from the beach
👨👩👧👦 2 Adults + 2 Children | 8 nights | August 2026
💷 £4,432 total

A solid, familiar option.
Sun, pools, entertainment, beach days, tapas nights.
For many families, this is where the search ends.
🇦🇪 UAE – SOMETHING MOST FAMILIES NEVER EVEN SEE
Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates
🏨 Hampton by Hilton Marjan Island – 4★ Hilton

🍹 All Inclusive
🌞 Guaranteed summer sunshine
👨👩👧👦 2 Adults + 2 Children | 9 nights | August 2026
💷 £3,602 total
💷 £900 per person
Yes… less money
And a completely different level of holiday.
💡 SAME FAMILY. SAME SUMMER. VERY DIFFERENT OUTCOME.
This is why using a travel professional matters.
If you search online, you’ll usually:
compare Spain with Spain
Turkey with Turkey
assume long-haul = “too expensive”
What we do instead is:
✔️ compare experiences, not just destinations
✔️ know where families get more for their money
✔️ look beyond what’s pushed hardest online
✔️ match the holiday to your priorities — not algorithms
Sometimes that means Spain is perfect.
Sometimes… it means the UAE costs less and delivers more.
✨ THE REAL QUESTION ISN’T “WHERE CAN WE GO?”
✨ IT’S “WHAT COULD WE BE MISSING?”
