SAINT PETER’S BAY, BARBADOS If it’s more a luxury Caribbean escape that tempts, look to Barbados. October demand is booming, according to Caribtours, but families seeking a luxury retreat can still find space at Saint Peter’s Bay, home to 57 self-catering residences as well as a lagoon-style pool, cocktail bar and white-sand beach where hawksbill turtles nest. There’s also a five-bedroom penthouse with private roof terrace and pool for those really wanting to push the boat out, and every guest gets a free
water taxi to sister resort Port Ferdinand, where a kids’ club, kids’ zone, watersports and spa await. Book it: Caribtours offers a week in a Three Bedroom Premium Beachfront Suite from £3,649 per adult and £1,499 per child (room-only), departing October 23 and including a free room upgrade.

“Following the latest travel update, we saw an
immediate surge in bookings and have experienced phenomenal demand for October half-term breaks from holidaymakers looking to take advantage of the easing of restrictions and enjoy some autumn sunshine. Our top-selling destinations for half-term include
Antalya and Dalaman in Turkey, as well as Tenerife, Lanzarote and Majorca. While our holiday programme to Turkey only resumed on September 23, we have already seen customers flocking to book holidays to the country. For agents looking for advice on how
to sell a last-minute family getaway, we urge them to be as proactive as possible so they can capitalise on this demand. Social media is a great way to engage with customers and we recommend agents take full advantage of the Jet2holidays Trade Media Library, which includes a range of social media assets and e-shot templates to help you sell to customers.”

HOTEL SUR MENORCA SUITES & WATERPARK, MENORCA Clients prefer the idea of a budget-friendly escape in the Med? Look no further than this action-packed resort in Menorca, which Jet2holidays recommends for its impressive menu of activities. “Aqua aerobics, darts, football, table tennis and volleyball are all at your fingertips, while those looking to explore farther afield can take advantage of the hotel’s courtesy shuttle service to the nearby golden coast,” says Alan Cross, head of trade. But the real USP is its on-site water park, where guests enjoy unlimited access to kamikazes, black holes, a multi-lane racer, lazy river, mini slides and more
throughout their stay. Book it: A week’s B&B costs from £579 per person based on two adults and one child sharing, with transfers and flights from Birmingham on October 23.
