Impossible request

[Amazonmulu]

This may be an impossible request... but I'm looking to book a holiday for my family (DH, primary school age DC) with the following criteria. It may be an impossible ask... I've been turning it over each way, spending hours searching and can't quite work out what to do. So I'd really appreciate any insights and advice!

Criteria:

• Outside the UK
• Under £2k for flights / ferry / accommodation
• Some swimming - pool or lake or sea
• Weather over 20C but under 30C (ish)
• During the school summer holidays

So far the nearest I've got is Netherlands / ferry / Airbnb and camping

Thanks in advance!

Pretty sure you could go to Majorca in the May or October hols for that. I have used On The Beach and they were pretty good. You can choose flights, accommodation and whatever board you want. I would head to the north of the island. It's really beautiful and lovely bays.

Quite a bit in Lake Garda for that price

European Alps. Loads to do, drivable, plenty of accommodation options to suit all budgets

Eurocamp!! Brittany (sites around Carnac would be great) or even Vendee (Le Pin Parasol was our fave)...we love Dordogne but that may be more...

Eurocamp or similar. And do not expect much for your money. Sorry sounds brutal but that is just not a lot of budget in the summer holidays.

This is under 2k, presuming you have one DC, Alcudia (which is lovely) in Majorca, flying from Birmingham in May half term leaving on the Saturday.

Sorry just read that you want summer school hols.

Center parcs europe can definitely be done for that using car and ferry! Lots of free activities and the swimming is always fab too.

Not sure how if you have one or two children but if you look on Jet2 holidays you can get a week away to Greece or Majorca for under £2k (that's based on 2 primary school aged kids) for the end of July self catering. Although it will be probably warmer than 30C. I was looking last week to book for July next year and some were coming in at under £2k (flying from Birmingham) for 2 adults and 2 children.
