As schools return and temperatures in the UK begin to drop, now is the perfect time to take advantage of a late summer escape.

 

easyJet has revealed its top five destinations still basking in sunshine and all offering a break for sunseekers, combining culture, and great value fares.

 

From Spanish costas to Mediterranean islands and Portuguese shores, these beach breaks offer the perfect chance to soak up sunshine before autumn sets in. Whether it’s a quick dip in turquoise seas, lazy afternoons on the sand, or evenings by the water with fresh seafood, easyJet’s network makes it easy to swap drizzle for dazzling shores.

 

easyJet’s top picks for a later summer getaway include:

 

  1. Malaga, Spain

With sunshine stretching well into the autumn months, Malaga offers golden beaches, a vibrant old town, and plenty of Andalusian charm. Visitors can explore the Picasso Museum, stroll through the historic Alcazaba, or enjoy a relaxed evening on the seafront with tapas and sangria.

 

  1. Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands

Palma combines beach relaxation with city sophistication. From Gothic cathedrals and bustling markets to scenic hikes in the Serra de Tramuntana, the island is perfect for both culture-seekers and sunbathers.

 

  1. Faro, Portugal

Soak up the Algarve sun in early autumn with golden beaches, charming coastal towns, and fresh seafood. It’s the ideal spot for a relaxing break before the chill sets in.

 

  1. Alicante, Spain

A lively seaside city on Spain’s Costa Blanca, Alicante blends Mediterranean beaches with a vibrant cultural scene. Sunseekers can climb up to Santa Bárbara Castle for sweeping views, explore colourful neighbourhoods, or unwind along the palm-lined promenade.

 

  1. Ibiza, Balearic Islands

Beyond its world-famous nightlife, Ibiza in September offers a laid-back escape with tranquil beaches, pine-clad hills, and chic seaside dining. Perfect for a final taste of summer sunshine before autumn begins.

easyJet offers an unbeatable network of affordable flights from airports across the UK to some of Europe’s most sought-after destinations this September and beyond.

Kevin Doyle, easyJet’s Country Manager, said:

 

“September is one of the best times to travel – the weather is still warm, destinations are typically less crowded, and you can take advantage of our great value fares. Whether travellers are looking for a spontaneous beach trip or a short city break, our network has something for everyone.”
