Cyprus proves that great things can indeed come in small packages, as this island paradise has everything that you’ll need for an unforgettable family holiday. From cities packed with culture, history, and boutique shopping, to landscapes with barely believable beauty and an idyllic coastline that is very literally the stuff of legends.

Portugal

Average temperatures: Highs of 22°C
Time difference: None
Flight duration: Between 2 hours 30 minutes - 3 hours
Rainfall: 10 days of rain on average in May

Portugal is the home to both sleepy, authentic towns, and bustling cities with chic shopping and contemporary activities. One thing they both have in common – they are a haven for family activities and memory making. With no time differences and a climate that is the perfect temperature for swimming, but not so hot that the pool is your only sanctuary, Portugal is a must-visit May half term holiday.

Antigua

Maldives

Average temperatures: Highs of 31°C
Time difference: 4 hours ahead of the UK (GMT +4 hours)
Flight duration: Approx. 10 hours
Rainfall: 15 days of rain on average in May

White-sand beaches, azure waters and colourful reefs make the Maldives the perfect spot for families on a luxury beachside getaway. Although the monsoon season begins towards the end of May, downpours are uncommon, and temperatures remain high. This time of the year is also off season so you can have this tranquil slice of paradise almost to yourself.

Flight duration: Between 4-5 hours (island dependent)
Rainfall: 1-2days of rain on average in May

As May half term breaks go, it doesn't come any more convenient than the Canary Islands. Whether you're jetting off with the kids to the volcanic moonscapes of Lanzarote or the golden beaches of Gran Canaria — these islands are blessed with plenty of sunshine, lots of family-friendly resorts, and a range of holiday parks, including Siam waterpark on Tenerife. Plus, they offer short flight durations for those with restless little ones.

Balearic Islands

Time difference: 1 hours ahead of the UK (GMT +1 hour)
