Beach & Seaside Holidays
Your Beach Holiday
The best beach holidays: the sand between your toes, the sea breeze on your sun-kissed face, all just steps from your hotel. Or a quiet retreat overlooking the beach, away from the sun-worshipping crowds, just you and the views. A holiday by the beach can be whatever you want it to be. If you’re travelling with the whole clan, look for water parks, kids’ clubs and family-friendly features. For a romantic beach holiday , a sea view and private spot for two may be more to your liking.
Book the best beach holidays in the world
Wine, fine food, history, culture, Cristiano Ronaldo – book a Madeira beach holiday and discover a truly delightful Portuguese island. A culture-rich archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa, Madeira has year-round sun with tan-tastic temperatures a glorious 23 degrees in the summer. For a break a bit more out of the box, meander to the Middle East on an Oman beach holiday. Perfect for the more adventurous traveller, Oman gives you unspoilt coastlines with a world of wonder under the water's surface. And when you’re all beached out, you can head for the screensaver-worthy vistas of the mountains. Wherever you go and whatever you do, build your beach break with Expedia.
