Summer has arrived, and while the UK is enjoying unusually blue skies, there’s nothing quite like booking a summer escape for the whole family to look forward to.
While some holidaymakers book a summer getaway months in advance, there are still plenty of package offers for trips during the height of the school holidays (21 July to 3 September), with something to suit most budgets.
Whether you’re after a three-day rural staycation or a week-long poolside chill-out, deals and discounts still abound, even for peak travel dates, if you know where to look.
So don’t worry if you haven’t planned ahead – there’s still time to secure an affordable deal on popular holiday destinations. Last-minute bargains including all-inclusive resorts in Lanzarote and self-catered apartments in Turkey accommodate families with little or big ones, from toddlers to teens.
Here’s The Independent’s selection of the best last-minute deals to inspire your summer 2023 holiday; just in the nick of time.
