How do free child places work?

Free child place holidays work like this: your child's hotel stay is free when they share a room with two full-paying adults. The deal just covers the accommodation, so flights and transfers are booked as normal, but the room is where the savings are. Especially if we're talking about all inclusive free child places, that's a serious saving, because between if their room is free, and all their food and drink is free, it's pretty much a child free holiday (as in, one where you don't have to pay for your child, not one without them - though those are great too).

Kids stay free if they're 11 or under on the day you fly home, although some hotels set a different age and the hotel description will tell you. It's usually one free child place per room, and if you're travelling with more than one child, it goes to the youngest. Some of our hotels give the second child a free place too.

You don't need a code. Add your children's ages in the search bar and any free child places show up in your results automatically.

If you’re travelling with little ones, it’s good to know that the place you’re heading to is family-friendly. Are there toilets? Places to eat? Attractions nearby? Looking for beaches with Blue Flag status means that those beaches are the best they can be. There are plenty of facilities, the beaches are easily accessible and the water quality is good. You’ll find loads of Blue Flag beaches in really popular destinations such as Spain, Greece, Turkey and Cyprus.

For a fantastic holiday with a child-friendly flight time, try heading to the beautiful Balearic Islands. With flights of around two to two and a half hours, these sun-soaked islands are perfect for summer holidays. If you're looking for something a little further, why not head to one of the gorgeous Greek Islands?

Whether you’re travelling with tots or teens, there’s a hotel out there that is perfect for you. Many hotels offer kid’s or teen clubs that are age specific, making them super fun for youngsters. Look out for fun facilities and activities available on-site such as tennis courts, mini-golf or archery. And, if you go All Inclusive, many of these activities are free of charge! So you can get a whole lot of fun without having to put your hand in your pocket. If you’re travelling with infants or toddlers make sure the hotel offers cots, high chairs and baby food stations. Many of these hotels will also offer babysitting for children of a certain age, meaning you can head to the a la carte restaurant for a romantic meal with the kids taken care of.

The cheapest destinations for family holidays vary, but Turkey hotels are great value for money - packed with all-day entertainment, whopping waterparks and food for the whole family. If some laidback family fun in the sun is more your vibe, then Majorca and Menorca are both great options too.

How long have you got? Spain and Greece are the classics for a reason - short flights, sandy beaches, and hotels that know exactly what families need (hint: chips, pools and kids' clubs). Turkey is unbeatable on value - you'll get five-star waterpark resorts for prices that'd get you a three-star in the Algarve. The Canaries work year-round (even in winter, which is massive if you've got school-aged kids), and Tenerife has Siam Park if your lot are waterpark-obsessed. Majorca and Menorca are great for a bit of beach and culture without a long flight. Honestly? You can't really go wrong.

Your child needs to be 11 or under on the day you fly home to get a free child place. Some hotels set a different age, and where they do, it's in the hotel description. Add everyone's ages when you search and the results will show exactly what you'll pay.

Yes, you can. The offer runs on selected hotels and board types and it's applied automatically, so add your children's ages, filter by all-inclusive and you'll see which kids go free all inclusive holidays are available for your dates. Magic Cristal Park in Benidorm is a brilliant place to start, with an Ultra All Inclusive option and entertainment for the whole family.
