6 of the best last minute holidays under £500pp from TUI

This hotel’s nestled into the countryside, a 25-minute walk from the port town of Sami. It’s surrounded by hills thick with trees, which is reflected in the hotel, where flowerbeds, bushes and tropical trees decorate the grounds.

This place looks out over the village of Los Gigantes, so you’ll have views of the Atlantic Sea and towering cliffs. And within a five-minute stroll, you’ll find a volcanic beach and plenty of shops, bars and restaurants.

Water babies can splash around to their heart’s content at this hotel, which is part of the TUI BLUE collection. The pool here is a massive mushroom-shaped number that edges up to the shoreline, and it neighbours a pergola-shaded bar that looks out to the sea. So, you can watch the sun dip below the horizon with a cocktail in hand in the evenings.

With just over 50 rooms, this place is at the snugglier end of the scale, but it’s far from cramped. All the rooms come with a balcony or terrace for some downtime, and there’s a lengthy pool with padded loungers dotted around it when you fancy a sunbathing session.

With a backdrop of olive groves and fruit orchards, this place has a really peaceful feel. You’re not cut off, though – Alykes and its sandy beach are a 10 minute walk away, as is the traditional village of Katastari.

The Loryma Resort takes an environment-first approach to things – from the homegrown herbs and vegetables used in its restaurants* to the guided walks* on selected paths of the Carian Trail, this place packs a punch when it comes to sustainability credentials. And it’s got the awards to back them up.
