Here are some of our favourite destinations if you're flying from Blackpool Airport.

Lanzarote

Lanzarote is the most easterly of the Canary Islands, with a distinctive identity of it’s own. Discover its magic by exploring the spectacular volcanic landscapes which seem to come from distant planets, and where the heat from the centre of the earth shoots to the surface. Relax in the peaceful beaches of white sand and transparent water, and take in the impressive views of the small islets that can be glimpsed from the cliff tops.

Ibiza

Ibiza is the party capital of Europe with more super clubs, bars and cafes than you can shake a stick at. If a relaxed time is more your style, don’t rule out this Mediterranean beauty completely. It’s got plenty of secluded beaches, there are yoga holidays and the side of the island away from the clubs is very family friendly!

Dalaman

Holidays in Turkey's Dalaman region have it all from culture and clubs to ceaseless stretches of sand. Dalaman is better known as the international gateway to an incredibly beautiful and popular region of Turkey where the Aegean meets the Mediterranean, known as the Turquoise Coast. Resorts in this region include lively Marmaris and Hisaronu, authentic Fethiye and Atakoy, the blissful beaches of Olu Deniz and Icmeler and riverside Dalya.
