"Towards end of October" does include a lot of schools being on holiday, though--so maybe hard to totally avoid kids.

Madeira is very grown up. We had a lovely time at the Porto Mare hotel.

We don't want to avoid kids.
Just we won't have any with us :)

friedbrain you want to avoid October half term because prices will rocket. seems to be starting 17th October in some private schools for 2 weeks and 1 week in state schools starting 24th October. so would think you want to be home before the 17th to avoid the extra costs.

Thanks...

can only get week commencing the 20th off.

Poo!

I went to Cyprus one year during October half term and got good weather. The days were quite short and it got dark fairly early. The canaries could be a good choice but my pick would be Egypt for an all inclusive hotel and Dubai if you don't mind not having all inclusive.

Thank you....

Anyone else??

What about Tunisia? I am currently looking at it as an option for October 2015.

Cape Verde as been mentioned a lot on here but we've never been there as doesn't look enough to do for us, but that is something that you're not bothered about.

A cruise to Canaries/Morocco ? On most ships you just pay for your drinks.

Sensatori Tenerife does all inclusive and has adult only areas.

Friedbrain · 17/08/2014 17:35

Many thanks.....

Any other ideas :)

Malta? I went the year before last and it was way nicer than I was expecting. Or Marrakesh?

Our love affair with Italy continues with Sicily at half term - same latitude as north Africa so got to be warm still.
