Beyond the sunbathing scene, this gem dishes up drool-worthy Greek treats (hello, feta-filled salads) and fresh seafood with seaside views. And for all you party animals?

Weather in the Balearics in August

Got summer on the brain? Haven't we all. The weather back home might not be delivering, but the Balearics - especially trusty ol' Majorca - definitely is. Sitting comfortably in the 25°C zone, it's toasty without the sizzle and has over 260 beaches up its sleeve - so you won't be short of places to plonk down a towel. But Majorca's more than just coastlines – think Roman ruins, gothic cathedrals, and scrummy food - from tapas and paella to freshly-caught seafood. Party in Magaluf, sightsee in Alcudia, or get your splash on at one of the waterparks. Majorca holidays in August understood the assignment 🌞

If you want guaranteed heat without a long-haul flight, Cyprus is hard to beat in August. Coastal temps sit around 27°C with virtually zero chance of rain, and the sea's a bath-warm 27°C, so no shivery psyching yourself up before a dip. Ayia Napa brings the party, with legendary nightlife and Nissi Beach practically glowing turquoise, while Protaras next door keeps things quieter with stunning Fig Tree Bay and a properly family-friendly vibe. Paphos is your pick if ancient ruins and harbourside sunsets are more your speed. Chuck in halloumi straight off the grill, ice-cold Keo beer and 13 hours of daily sunshine, and you've got yourself a proper scorcher of a holiday 🔥

Where else can you go on an August holiday?

People also asked...

What's the hottest place to go on holiday in August?

For the absolute hottest temperatures, Turkey and Cyprus regularly top the charts. The Antalya coast hits 34°C most days in August, and Cyprus isn't far behind at around 32°C on the coast. If you're after serious heat with a gorgeous beach, those two are your best bet. The Canary Islands and Balearics are slightly milder at 25-28°C, which is still properly hot but with a bit more breeze.

Is August too hot for some holiday destinations?

Honestly? Some places do get seriously toasty. Inland Turkey and Cyprus can push into the high 30s, which isn't everyone's cup of tea, especially with little ones. If you want the heat dialled down a notch but still cracking weather, Crete and Majorca are spot on, sitting around 25-27°C with enough of a sea breeze to keep things comfortable. Stick to coastal resorts wherever you go and you'll get the benefit of cooler sea breezes.

Where's hot in August for families?

Pretty much everywhere we fly to is brilliant for family holidays in August, but a few stand out. Majorca has over 260 beaches plus waterparks that'll keep the kids entertained for days. Turkey's Antalya coast is packed with all-inclusive mega-resorts with kids' clubs and slides. And Protaras in Cyprus has some of the calmest, clearest water in the Med, perfect for little paddlers.

How can I get a deal on an August holiday?

August is peak season so it's always going to be busier, but that doesn't mean you can't bag a belter. Booking early gives you the best pick of hotels and flights, and with our low deposits and our FlexiPay plan to spread the cost, you don't need to pay it all upfront. Keep your dates flexible if you can, and check out destinations like Turkey and Bulgaria where your money goes further.
