Deals of the Week – Payday Takeover

Last updated: Wednesday 22nd January 2025

You’ve made it. It’s that time of the month where your payday prayers have been answered. Your bank balance is feeling refreshed, your bills are paid, and you can finally think about booking another holiday – say less…

No need to go searching for the picks with the best prices. This week, our big payday deals drop is taking over to bring you an extra-spicy set of stays, just in time for when that money hits your account.

The prices below are correct at the time we hit ‘publish’ but may change. Plus, this hotlist won’t be around for long, so there’s no time like the present – get booking! 

Beat the winter slump with four nights on the Costa Blanca in Feb

4 nights All Inclusive at Hotel Flamingo Oasis, departing 4th February 2025 from Manchester Airport. Price based on two adults sharing a twin room.

Stays like this are the reason Brits love Benidorm. Hotel Flamingo Oasis is in a prime spot in the resort centre and only 15 minutes’ walk from Levante Beach. The main pool’s a tropical lagoon-style situation, complete with little islands and lined with palm trees – the town’s iconic high rises are the only reminder you’re in Benidorm not Barbados… There’s another pool inside, or head up to the adults-only rooftop where you can soak up the sea views while you swim.

Clifftop views don’t get much better than the ones from this Majorcan pick

7 nights All Inclusive at Hotel Palia Maria Eugenia, departing 3rd May 2025 from Bristol Airport. Price based on two adults sharing a double or standard twin room.

Good luck finishing your book with scenes like this from your sun lounger… Set on a cliff, Hotel Palia Maria Eugenia is all about maximising that sea view. A mega split-level terrace has plenty of pools, day beds and loungers for making the most of the scenery. There’s a bar, an entertainment stage and a dining area out here, too – you’re not even ready for the sunsets. If all that’s not enough, upgrade to a sea view room and it’ll be the first thing you see each morning.

Your Greek island summer is so on with a week in Zante this May

7 nights Self Catering at Maria Studios and Apartments, departing 2nd May 2025 from London Stansted Airport. Price based on two adults sharing a studio.

Maria Studios and Apartments has that laidback energy we all love about the Med. It’s set in a gorg olive grove with a mountain backdrop one way and the Ionian Coast on the other, which is only 10 minutes’ walk away. The vibe is super chilled – you’ll be self catering in your own studio, but there’s a bar, snack place and outdoor pool here, too. You can easily walk into Alykes to explore during the day or eat at a family-run taverna in the evening. Then, head back to the bar for a quiz, karaoke or Greek-themed night.

This stay in Hurghada is a major W for water babies…

7 nights All Inclusive at Sindbad Club, departing 7th February 2025 from London Gatwick Airport. Price based on two adults sharing a studio.

The pool at Sindbad Club is more than just a pool – it’s basically a manmade beach. With a gentle slope into the water, you can walk right in, and there’s even a wave machine. If you prefer the real thing, there’s a stunning sandy sweep just a five-minute walk away. There’s also a waterpark for adrenaline lovers, plus a mini splash park for the little ones. And everyone knows swimming makes you hungry, so it’s a good thing there are four restaurants here to pick from.

Enter your film-star era with two nights in the French Riviera

2 nights Room Only at Okko Hotels Cannes Centre, departing 4th March 2025 from London Luton Airport. Price based on two adults sharing a studio.

Our boujie-on-a-budget Insider, Grace, stayed at this chic French pick… and you’re about to be as obsessed as she is. Okko Hotels Cannes Centre is perfectly placed for exploring the city, getting to the beach or catching the train around the French Riviera. The hotel is as stylish as you’d expect, with a modern design, a rooftop terrace, and a daily social hour with free charcuterie and an aperitif – so French! Running low on AL? This stay even has a co-working space, so it’s the ideal workation set-up.
