Budget Friendly holiday destinations to take the kids

At InsuraTrip Travel Insurance, we’ve found a number of holidays that can not only be budget friendly, but are also great places to take the kids.

Cyprus

Cyprus combines big beach resorts and waterparks with Ancient Greek ports and traditional harbour towns – so you can experience both authentic island life and thrilling sporting activities. When it comes to resorts, the Larnaca region is a firm family favourite. Here you’ll find crisp, sandy beaches, waterparks and traditional restaurants. Alternatively, if you want an all-authentic trip, head to Paphos to experience beautiful temples, colourful mosaics and a Neolithic history to learn about.

Algarve, Portugal

The Algarve has been a longstanding popular holiday destination for families.

Blessed with stunning natural beauty, year round sunshine and relaxing beaches. Whilst you could spend long days lounging on the beach and taking in the beautiful views, your kids will definitely not want to miss the chance to visit Aqualand, one of the largest waterparks in Europe!
