Not too hot summer holiday?!
Discussion
Hi,
I took the family including my 2 and 5 year old to Majorca this year but unfortunately because of being governed by school holidays we had to go at the end of July and it was just too hot, most days around 38 - 40 degrees.
I really like Majorca and would go back or somewhere similar but we can’t deal with that sort of heat again.
Does anyone have any alternative suggestions? Needs to be a good hotel and have plenty to do in the area, I don’t mind hiring a car etc in order to get to places but would need to keep the plane journey to a minimum as our kids aren’t the best on long journeys.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

My two are 5 and 9 and for the last 4/5 or so years ( except a blip for covid), have gone away easter and october half terms to the canaries, too avoid that mega summer heat, but still have decent weather.
And a last two 6 week summer holidays, have done several UK trips , at various holiday parks and a few hotels , including the Isle of Wight, thats rrally suited to little ones IMO.

Arguably better weather than the UK in summer and of course, much longer days. There are pros and cons to that though. Might not work for children in that respect.We had a very nice holiday in Guernsey, but aside from the beaches I suspect there's not much for kids to do.
Vendee was good too when we went, but it can (usually is, a local tells me) very windy on the beaches, Britanny is better in that respect.
We enjoyed Madeira, too, but better for older kids and adults, I think. As I recall there are no sandy beaches at all.
I'd go for Britanny, in your shoes.

We went to Fuerteventura for this reason at the end of August. Never really got much above 30 and breezy. Villa's we've stayed in over there didn't have aircon as they don't need it.
My dad lives in mainland Spain and it can be hotter than the surface of the sun in summer. I'm looking forward to when the kids can handle a longer flight as have family in Canada BC and will make for a nice summer holiday.
