Best travel deals for holidays in February 2026

If winter is starting to drag, now is an ideal time to plan a February holiday. With fewer crowds, lower prices and still plenty of sunshine, February is a great month for either a relaxed beach break or something a bit more indulgent. From short-haul convenience to international escapes, February holiday deals make it easier to take a well-timed break ahead of spring.

Right now, there is up to £300 per person in savings across selected winter-sun destinations. Think laidback days in Gran Canaria, vibrant street food and beaches in Phuket or culture and luxury combined in Abu Dhabi. I’ve pulled together the best deals from well-known travel providers, focusing on destinations our travel team rate as the best places to holiday in February for sunshine, value and overall experience.

The Canary Islands is one of Europe’s most reliable winter-sun destinations and February is a particularly good time to visit Gran Canaria. Look forward to warm, dry days with plenty of sunshine and a relaxed atmosphere once the January rush has passed. With average temperatures sitting around 20-22C, it’s ideal for beach days, coastal walks and exploring local towns without the intense summer heat.

Loveholidays is currently offering up to £300 off Gran Canaria packages in February. Popular resorts across Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas and Puerto Rico are included, with great-value options for couples and families. In particular, there’s a £245 per person saving at the five-srar Paradisus by Melia Gran Canaria resort, including flights, if you travel on 27 February for seven nights.

If you’re ticking off bucket-list destinations, Phuket is a great option, offering tropical heat, clear skies and calm seas. February is one of the best months to visit, with average temperatures of around 28-32C and minimal rainfall. Whether you’re looking for island-hopping tours and Thailand’s famous street food or relaxing on white-sand beaches, February ticks all the boxes.

For the best value – and to make the most of your time in Thailand – it’s often worth booking your flights and hotel separately. You can currently save an exclusive 6 per cent on hotel stays with Expedia, including the scenic Sala Phuket Mai Khao Beach Resort, which our travel experts name “best for sunsets” in their Phuket hotels roundup.

You can also cut the cost of your flights by registering for the Qatar Airways newsletter, which emails a unique promo code that can be used towards your booking.
