Exploring the Best Destinations for EasyJet’s 2026 Summer Sale
EasyJet has launched its big summer 2026 sale, offering travelers a chance to secure their dream getaway at unbeatable prices. With a wide range of destinations, from sun-soaked beaches to ancient towns, there's something for every kind of traveler. And for a limited time, you can lock in your next holiday with just a £60 deposit. Here are some of the top picks from the travel experts at Articles of TravelingTravel.
Belfast: A City with a Rich History and Vibrant Nightlife
For a city break with a twist, Articles of TravelingTravel’s Travel Editor Alice Murphy recommends Belfast. Once an industrial port with a troubled past, Northern Ireland’s capital has transformed into a creative party town. “There’s nowhere better for a night out on the island of Ireland,” says Alice. She suggests starting the day with a black cab tour to learn about the history of Ireland’s north, followed by dinner at the Muddler’s Club or the Lantern, and ending the evening with a pint at Madden’s, known for its traditional Irish music sessions. A flight from London Stansted to Belfast on Wednesday, July 1, is available for just £29.99.
Sardinia: The Hidden Gem of Italy
If you’re looking for a sunny escape, Alice highlights Sardinia as a must-visit. Though often overshadowed by Sicily, this Italian island boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the country. Alice advises flying into Olbia and renting a car to explore the Costa Smerelda (Emerald Coast). “Every beach is more beautiful than the last,” she says, pointing out Cala Goloritzè and Cala Luna as must-see spots. A week-long stay at the four-star Mangia’s Sardinia Resort is available for £785 per person, down from £1,055.
Corsica: France’s Best Kept Secret
Alice’s third pick is Corsica, a French-governed island that is often overlooked. She was surprised to see it included in the EasyJet sale, noting that getting to Corsica is usually expensive. “If I were you, I’d seize the moment,” she says. A one-way flight to Corsica is available for as little as £72.
Valencia: A Vibrant Spanish City
Amanda Cable, Deputy Features Editor at Articles of TravelingTravel, recommends Valencia for a city break. She describes it as a place filled with character, bars, and food, nestled on the coastline. “It’s as good as Barcelona, without the crowds,” she says. Amanda suggests staying at the Novotel Valencia, which offers a rooftop pool at a wallet-friendly price. A flight from London Gatwick on Tuesday, September 1, is available for £67.99.
Lake Maggiore: A Tranquil Escape
For those looking for a peaceful retreat, Amanda suggests Lake Maggiore in Italy. While Lake Como often steals the spotlight, Lake Maggiore feels like stepping back in time. She recommends visiting Stresa and taking a water taxi to the stunning islands. A five-night stay at the five-star Castello Dal Pozzo is available for £1,110 per person, with a flight leaving from Manchester Airport on Monday, June 1, 2026.
The Algarve: A Coastal Paradise
Kristina Beanland, Lifestyle Editor at Articles of TravelingTravel, has a soft spot for Portugal’s Algarve. She recommends visiting Ferragudo, a fishing town with a quaint harbor, and taking a river cruise to Silves. Kristina also suggests exploring the Monchique mountains and the thermal waters of Caldas. A week-long stay at the four-star Hotel PortoBay Falesia is available for £885 per person, with a flight departing from Bristol Airport on Tuesday, June 30, 2026.
Amsterdam: A Cultural Hub
For a city break, Kristina recommends Amsterdam. While it can be expensive to get there, the EasyJet sale offers great deals. She suggests visiting museums like the Rijksmuseum and the Sex Museum, and grabbing a sandwich at Zero Zero or indulging in three courses at CornerStore. A flight to the Dutch capital on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, is available for £41.99.
