Who should book an August getaway?
Are you weighing up an August holiday? These are the people we think would love a peak summer adventure.
Peak summer escapers
If you’re after guaranteed sun for long, lazy days on the beach or lounging by the pool, August is perfect. It’s the time to travel if you want a classic, relaxing summer holiday and simply won’t entertain the idea of a chilly day. It’s great for families too, as the school holidays are in full swing and all-inclusive resorts are brimming with activities to keep the little ones entertained.
Social butterflies
August is the time to get away if you want to experience European nightlife at its most vibrant. Lively beach clubs and open-air events make this time of year a dream for party lovers. Places like Ibiza and Zante are packed with groups and couples seeking days in the sun and nights on the dance floor. It’s the last month of summer before things start to wind down, so it’s the ideal time for a blowout.
Frequently asked questions about holidays in August
FAQs
Which destinations are best for nightlife in August?
Nightlife across Europe is at its absolute peak in August, whether you want cheap pints in Benidorm or classy cocktails in Mykonos. Superclubs in Ibiza are pulsating to world-class DJs while neon-lit strips in Ayia Napa, Zante and Malia are popular with younger crowds looking to party all night long.
Is August a good month for a family holiday?
Yes, August is ideal for a family holiday. It’s during the long summer holidays and you’re almost guaranteed hot, dry weather in many of Europe’s top holiday destinations. You’ll have no problem finding a resort that offers activities for kids that will keep them smiling all day.
Are holidays more expensive in August?
Yes, holidays are often more expensive in August than during off-peak months such as November. This is because it’s the school summer holidays in the UK when there’s more demand for flights and hotels. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get a good deal. Compare holidays on icelolly.com to find a getaway to suit your budget.
Is August too crowded for travel?
While August may be one of the busiest times of the year for travel, it’s not necessarily too crowded. If you’re worried about places being busy, try to avoid the most popular destinations. For example, Paros is a fantastic alternative to Santorini, and Montenegro is just as beautiful and warm as Croatia but is likely to be cheaper.
When is the best time to book an August summer holiday?
Generally speaking, as it’s peak holiday season, you should book August holidays well in advance. If you’re travelling solo or as a couple and can be flexible, you may be able to leave it later. Larger groups and families may prefer to book further ahead to guarantee a room type or destination to suit their needs.
