Where can I go on holiday on my own? Suggestions to match budget.

I have the opportunity of going on a 5 night holiday on my own mid October before half term.

My budget is prob £350 400 MAX for flights and hotel and possibly breakfast if I can get it and looking on Jet2holidays holidays there are a few places that look doable.

I have only ever been to Salou (with my kids a few weeks ago) and I was supposed to be going away with sister for my birthday but that’s fell through.

So I have work booked off, kids staying here at school with dad and I have a longing to see the sun!!

When I went to Salou it was raining and bloody cloudy so my first ever time in a hotel with sun loungers was a bit anticlimactic but when it was sunny I really loved it.

As I’m so holiday inexperienced I am looking for the hottest place possible in mid October that matched my budget and airports I can reasonably get to - NW, East Mids, Leeds.

Greece Tenerife Gran Canaria and Lanzarote are the front runners.

I am looking for somewhere a bit touristy with a nice beach. I was erring towards Hersonissos til I found out Crete can be cool in Oct and put myself off.

I am desperate to go to Benidorm but don’t know if I’m brave enough to go on my own. I love Blackpool too just to give an idea of what I might like!

TLDR: Does anyone have any suggestions for a tacky, touristy hot in October holiday destination they can suggest?

Thanks! Looking it up now!

I should add that I hardly drink - don’t think I would much on my own abroad. I like live music. Won’t be going clubbing or anything. I’m 40odd.

Cyprus is the hottest place you can get to with 5 hr flight ..... I’d go to the east fig tree bay / protarus (long road of lots of bars and lots of singing bands) has nice beaches (east side). We been many 5 times in oct only had one night of rain.

If you go west sand quality / beaches aren’t as good x
