Where is still hot in October half term?

[Invasionofthegutsnatchers]

Hoping for a week abroad, all inclusive would be great as we're doing a self catering cottage in the summer. Must be school holidays as I'm a teacher. I'm thinking Turkey as Greece can be windy and Majorca prone to rain. Basically a fly and flop holiday, waterslides a bonus. Kids are pre teens so we'd need to book 2 rooms. Budget 2k max all in. Flying from London airports. Any help appreciated

The Canary Islands. I wouldn't bank on the weather anywhere further north at the end of October.

Have a friend who swears by Cyprus in the October break

Tenerife

Cyprus - you may need a jacket in the evening depending if you feel the cold.

Is Turkey colder than the Canaries?

Gran Canaria

Best place to book a package online please?

Only really the canaries.
You MIGHT be ok in Turkey or Greece but it's unlikely to be hot.

I don't think you'll get AI in The Canaries for £2k for two rooms though.

Canaries.

Cyprus - we live there and October half term is reliably hot enough to go to the beach. May be a little cooler in the evening if you are eating outside. Not sure you’ll get all inclusive on your budget but have a look at some of the hotels around Pafos. Jet2 holidays are quite decent I believe?

Ah bollocks.

If anyone wants a challenge be my guest, I've been on Easyjet holidays already.

Canaries

Canaries are fab, Lanzarote in particular, I love it, I don’t like tower blocks, most accommodation is only 3 storeys high, unlike most other islands.

Is Turkey colder than the Canaries?

I suspect so. They get snow in winter.

I think your budget is too tight for 2 beds at half term, probably too tight for one bed at half term.

We've done Cyprus mid Oct a few times and it's always been really nice.

Ugh. Back to the drawing board.

Lanzarote. I had a great time there in Oct half term pre-COVID. Not sure you’ll get AI and two rooms for 2k though.

I'm sure Lanzarote was a bit cheaper than the other Canary Islands, just as nice though

We went to Ibiza in October half term a few years ago and weather was pretty warm.

Definitely the Canaries, we just did Feb half term in Lanzarote for £1600 AI for 4, 1 bed apartment. Have done Gran Canaria in Oct half term and lovely weather. I'm a big fan of last minute, went to Gran Canaria in January for £1200 4* AI for 4 by booking the week before, very pleasant weather but cool in the evenings.

You could hit lucky further north but personally I wouldn't take the risk. Would you consider Egypt?

We went to Tenerife for October half term and it wasn't that warm. I'd go for Morocco or Egypt

Canaries is your best bet for warmer weather.

But having lived there for 6 years I can inform you that October can have rain and only be around 15-18° occasionally.

Generally it's pretty nice all year round though.

It was Tenerife I lived!! It can be hit and miss!

Dubai?
