Make room for a little exploring
A great coastal escape has more than one view. Here are three ways to make the most of the days between beach and pool time.
TENERIFE
A different kind of island day
Trade the coast for volcanic scenery and pine-fringed views around Mount Teide. Plan transport, clothing and any permits for your chosen visit.
Explore Tenerife
THE ALGARVE
Follow the cliffs to the sea
Make room for coastal walks, hidden coves and a long lunch in Lagos. Steps, terrain and boat conditions vary, so choose an outing that suits you.
Discover Lagos
COSTA DEL SOL
Leave a day for Andalusia
Use your coastal base to explore Málaga’s cultural stops or venture inland to Ronda. Check journey times before planning a day away.
Explore MálagaWhen should you go?
A European sun escape looks different in every season. Choose around the days you want to have, not just the destination name.
A milder winter escape
Consider Tenerife for winter coastal time. The Algarve and Costa del Sol can suit quieter town stays and sightseeing, with cooler evenings and less predictable beach weather.
Think exploring, layers & a heated pool
Spring & autumn exploring
Mix coastal walks and outdoor meals in Greece, coastal Italy or Nice. Spring and autumn suit exploring; check sea temperatures, seasonal hotel openings and local transport before booking.
Think walking shoes & flexible days
A summer beach holiday
Consider Greece, the Amalfi Coast or the French Riviera for summer beach and pool time. Start sightseeing early in hotter weather and compare beach access, room location and local transport.
Think beach access & shade breaksChoose the stay. Check the details.
A package and a hotel-only stay can suit different trips. Compare what’s included before deciding.
Start with your base
Resort or town centre? Check the map, beach access and walking distances. A beautiful coastal region doesn’t mean every property is beside the beach.
Compare the whole trip
Review flights, connections, baggage, transfers, room type and meal plan. For hotel-only stays, budget separately for getting there.
Make it fit your plans
Check occupancy, accessibility and facilities that matter to you. Read payment, change and cancellation conditions for the exact option you choose.

Call 1-888-266-5630Your Europe sun questions, answered.
Where can I book a European sun vacation with shoptravel?
Explore Tenerife, the Algarve and Costa del Sol, or discover the Greek coast around Kinetta, coastal Italy around Maiori and Syracuse, and the French Riviera around Nice. Follow the destination links to browse packages and hotels, or choose Kinetta, Maiori or Nice in the search panel. Available options depend on your departure city and dates.
Which European sun destination should I consider in winter?
Tenerife is worth considering for a milder winter escape, particularly along its southern coast. Mainland Portugal, Spain, Greece, coastal Italy and the French Riviera are generally cooler in winter and can suit sightseeing and coastal walks. Check seasonal openings and transport services. Conditions vary: sunshine does not guarantee hot weather or warm sea temperatures.
What is included in a European vacation package?
Check the individual package for flights, accommodation, room type, meal plan, baggage and transfers. These can differ by operator and departure. A hotel-only rate does not include flights unless explicitly stated. Review all inclusions and the full trip price before paying.
Are all-inclusive stays available in Europe?
Some properties offer all-inclusive meal plans; others are room-only, include breakfast or offer other board arrangements. Compare the meal plan attached to the specific room and package you select. An all-inclusive option at one property does not apply to every hotel in the destination.
Should I choose a seaside resort or a town-centre hotel?
Choose a resort if spending time at the property is a priority. A town-centre base can make restaurants and local exploring easier. Check the actual map location, beach access, walking distances and transport options rather than relying on the destination name alone.
Can I book a longer European stay?
Search your preferred dates and length of stay, or speak with the shoptravel team about available options. For longer trips, compare room facilities, meals, laundry, transport and cancellation terms as well as the nightly or package price. Longer stays and particular room types depend on availability.
How do I compare flights, transfers and the total trip cost?
Review the full flight itinerary, including connections and arrival airport, then check whether airport transfers, checked baggage and meals are included. Add any separate costs before comparing options. Confirm payment, change and cancellation conditions on the final booking page.
