YourHolidays - Beach Holidays

Beach Holidays, the feeling of the warm soft sand underfoot, the sun shining down and cocktails from the beach bars.

Finding the perfect spot to spread out the towel, sun cream and sunglasses on, and laying back on the beach to just daydream, read a book, party or dip your toe in the sea. 

If your ideal holidays are beach holidays, you are spoilt for choice with some fantastic beach resorts waiting for you to explore. 

One of the most exciting and popular destinations for beach holidays is Portugal with countless beaches dotted along the Portugal coastline. The Algarve and parts of Madeira are top destinations for beach holidays, and whilst the sea temperatures are slightly milder than its Mediterranean opposition like Spain and others, the quality, quantity, and size of beaches in Portugal are hard to match.

The Spanish Islands; Balearics and Canaries, offer up beaches galore with a range of activities, hotels and nightlife, great all-round resorts for singles, couples, families or groups looking for a beach holiday.

Turkey has attracted tourists to its beaches for years and it is easy to see why. 

Resorts such as Oludeniz and Marmaris offer beautiful beaches to enjoy, even in places like Antalya you will find small city beaches tucked away. 

The Turkey beaches are mostly a mix of shingle and sand in most cases but don’t let that deter you from the stunning settings and accompanying hotels, Turkey is a great beach holiday destination.
