TUI is offering last-minute late-summer holidays from £344 per person, with destinations including Corfu, Lanzarote, and Turkey. These seven-night breaks are available for under £500 per person, providing affordable options for travellers seeking European sunshine in August and September.
Affordable Getaways
The holiday company currently has sun-filled seven-night stays from £343 per person. Options range from Mediterranean islands to the Aegean Sea, with many destinations staying warm as peak-season prices ease. Travelling later in the summer may mean fewer crowds and more affordable prices while still enjoying beach-worthy weather.
All TUI package holidays that include flights and accommodation come with ABTA and ATOL protection. Terms and conditions apply.

For those unable to find suitable options with TUI, On The Beach offers 'cheap jollies' with prices starting at £125pp for a room-only stay in Bulgaria. This resort features a swimming pool and sits just 350m from the beach.

Lanzarote
The Canary Islands are an ideal destination for a late summer getaway. Travellers can secure a seven-night self-catering holiday at Lanzarote Paradise from £342.24* per person, including mandatory charges and taxes, departing from London Gatwick with TUI on 14 September 2026.
The accommodation comprises a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, while the complex offers a swimming pool and snack bar. Visitors have commended the apartments for being tidy, roomy, and well-furnished, with one guest describing it as "a little gem" and praising the "most comfortable beds we've ever slept in on holiday." Another remarked that the rooms were "spotless" and more spacious than anticipated.
Situated near a large waterpark and roughly a 15-minute stroll from a sand-and-rock beach, the apartments are also encircled by dining and drinking establishments. Some visitors appreciated the excellent value, while others noted the complex sat slightly further from the waterfront than anticipated.
Corfu
The Greek islands are also an excellent option for a late summer holiday. Travellers can secure a seven-night self-catering break at the adults-only Odysseus Hotel in Kavos, Corfu, from £344* per person, including mandatory fees and taxes, with departures from London Gatwick on 6 September 2026.
Located on the resort's lively main strip, the property boasts an outdoor pool with sun loungers, a round-the-clock pool bar, and is within easy walking distance of the beach. Previous visitors have praised the hotel as "a good base from which to explore Kavos." One guest found it somewhat basic, commenting: "The beds were uncomfortable, but the rooms are clean but outdated," while another remarked: "This is a lovely place, very clean. The staff are so so lovely, make you feel welcome and have a great laugh."
Turkey
The Dalaman region offers some of the finest late-summer bargains. Sun-seekers can secure a seven-night self-catering break at Club Candan in Marmaris from £381.30* per person, inclusive of mandatory fees and taxes, with a direct flight from Cardiff via TUI on August 30, 2026.
The apartments boast a sizeable lagoon pool with a waterslide and a poolside restaurant that hosts weekly Turkish evenings featuring barbecues and belly dancing. Situated in a tranquil setting, the complex is a ten-minute stroll from Marmaris town centre, the marina, and the sand-and-shingle beach. Visitors have spoken highly of the generously sized apartments, welcoming staff, and family-friendly amenities, with one reviewer describing their two-bedroom apartment as "huge" and the pool and slide as "lovely." A returning guest highlighted the range of on-site facilities, including Turkish baths, massages, a gym, and a hair salon.
