Beach Holidays in Europe

You don't have to travel far to find amazing beaches, azure waters and warm temperatures. Our portfolio of hotels and villas features many luxury beach retreats in the Mediterranean and Portuguese coast.

Some of the most exquisite golden sands can be found in the Mediterranean, just a short flight from the UK. And with minimal travel and no jet-lag, it’s no wonder the beaches here are popular with families and couples alike.

As well as our Scott Dunn villas, families have a range of child-friendly beach resorts and hotels to choose from, as well as those with kids clubs. For couples, there’s plenty of choice; from romantic boutique hotels on the Spanish coast to exclusive luxury spa resorts in the Greek islands. Our travel specialists can advise on which properties will suit you best, and where you can find the kind of beaches you’d look at and think were far, far away in the tropics.
