Benidorm is just one of those iconic cheap holiday destinations. Some say it is the resort in Spain, especially if you've struck the Balearics off your list for 2017 / 2018. When the first skyscrapers started popping up along the coast of the Costa Blanca, decades ago, no one was quite sure just how much of an important figure Benidorm would become to the average British holidaymaker. Home to dozens of all inclusive hotels, Benidorm beats off its Spanish rivals, such as Alcudia in Majorca, or Salou in the south of Spain, as the king of cheap all inclusive holidays.

Known as a cheap holiday destination with perfect, well-kept sands and a choice of hotels - varying from cheap all inclusive hotels to stunningly good deals on great self catering accommodation -  choosing Benidorm in the Costa Blanca for your next resort holiday makes as much sense as the copious amounts of ice-cream you’ll inevitably be eating. Booking a 7nt stay in Benidorm is a super cheap holiday, and the price includes flights and all inclusive: a no-brainer! Then you won't even have to worry about the cost of that ice-cream. Whilst you're on the Costa Blanca, Alicante is another top choice for a cheap holiday.

Another popular Costa in Spain is the Costa Brava, with Lloret de Mar as a fantastic holiday option for a 7nts stay. Just up the coast from Barcelona, Lloret de Mar provides amazing Mediterannean beaches, affordable resorts and a range of family-friendly hotels. The Costa Brava is home to Barcelona, so if you ever tire of Lloret de Mar's great atmosphere down on the Costa Brava - which is unlikely! - you could always plan a holiday to the Catalonian capital. Also on the Costa Dorada is Salou, a perfect all inclusive 7nt family holiday destination.

A 7nt holiday to the Balearics is a cheap holiday classic. With deals on cheap holidays for 7nts at an all inclusive hotel in Alcudia, Majorca (flights included!) how can you resist the allure of a getaway?

Majorca has some of the best seafronts and nightlife in the Balearics, and its sisters Menorca and Ibiza boast their own iconic flavours. Majorca is the most popular with all age groups, ideal for romantic holidays and family fun in the sun. One of the most popular resorts in the Balearics is in Majorca: on the north of the island, and with an epic beach, Alcudia is a hotspot for cheap family holidays. Cheap holidays to Alcudia are perfect for 2018. 

Or, you could take a peaceful stroll along rugged coastline in Menorca or stamp the sand all night at a beach party on Ibiza. Both Menorca and Ibiza offer some fantastic deals on all inclusive hotels to keep those holidays costs low. Cheap flights and hotels equal cheap Balearics holidays and some of the best experiences of your life. What more could you want from the Balearics?

Malta's not one of the Balearics, but you should keep Malta in mind for an extra Mediterranean adventure or for a 2018 holiday. With such reasonable deals on flights and hotels, why not?
