The Bellagio in Las Vegas sits on an eight-acre artificial lake
MGM Resorts, Las Vegas, USA
It may be the city that never sleeps – a high-energy 24-7 playground in the Nevada desert – but when you do want a little shuteye in Las Vegas, make for MGM Resorts. The hospitality giant has transformed the glittering skyline with its flamboyant hotels, all of which line the Strip, a neon-bright stretch of celebrity-chef restaurants and crowd-pleasing entertainment from Cirque de Soleil and Cher to, yes, Elvis impersonators. For full Vegas va-va-voom, only a five-star stay will do. Perhaps the maximalist, fountain-famous Bellagio, which amazes even by Sin City standards? Or the soaring 30-storey glass pyramid that houses the Egyptian-themed Luxor. Or maybe you’re more seduced by the mediaeval castle-meets-modern flair of Excalibur? With their contemporary rooms, theatrical dining and palm-lined swimming pools (did someone say pool party?), you’ll feel as if you’ve hit the jackpot. Welcome to Vegas, baby.
British Airways Holidays offers up to 20 per cent savings on your MGM Resorts hotel stay when booking a flight and hotel package to Las Vegas. Choose from a selection of MGM Resorts, including Luxor, Excalibur and Bellagio, all of the properties in the perfect locations on the Las Vegas Strip to truly experience the city. Valid on selected travel dates. A 20 per cent discount is valid Sunday-Thursday at Luxor and Excalibur. A 15 per cent discount is valid on all other resorts Sunday-Thursday. A five per cent discount is valid on all hotels on Friday and Saturday nights. The specified offer will appear in red text during the booking process should it be applicable.

Classic superior room at the Mercure Tirana
Mercure Tirana, Albania
Located north of Greece and south of Montenegro, Albania has long been an IYKYK destination – authentic, affordable and always ready with the warm weather (it’s one of the sunniest countries in Europe). But while beach bunnies hotfoot it to the Albanian Riviera and adventuring types set off for the pine-forested mountains, culture-seeking city breakers head for Tirana. The capital is layered with history, and its often chilling past is reflected in the warren of underground bunkers, including subterranean museums Bunk’Art 1 and Bunk’Art 2. Above ground, base yourself at Mercure Tirana to explore the vibrant streets (the Cold War-era buildings are now painted in rainbow brights), café culture and lively markets. And when legs get weary and cocktail hour calls, the cool, marble-clad hotel awaits, with its rooftop swimming pool, elegant bar and indoor-outdoor restaurant serving Italian-Mediterranean fusion.
British Airways Holidays offers three nights at the four-star Mercure Tirana from £369pp (plus €11pp tourism tax, payable locally), for travel on selected dates from 1-19 September 2026 inclusive. Includes economy (Euro Traveller) return flights from London Heathrow Airport, one checked bag per person and accommodation. Book by 30 June 2026. The specified offer will appear in red text during the booking process, should it be applicable. Price shown on ba.com includes any applicable discount. Subject to availability. T&Cs apply.
Carlisle Bay sits on a secluded stretch of sand (also opening image)
Carlisle Bay, Antigua
It’s well chronicled that Antigua has 365 beaches. Carlisle Bay sits on one of the island’s most secluded, a crescent of sand on the southwest coast overlooking a clear, glassy bay. Backed by rainforest, the resort’s sea-facing suites are designed to reflect the golden warmth of the Caribbean sun, their tactile accents and hand-carved furniture anchoring that sense of place. All have terraces or balconies where double bed-sized loungers are an invitation to do… nothing. If you feel the need to move, there’s plenty on offer, whether it’s sunrise Pilates or recalibrating in the Cara Organic Spa to snorkelling, tennis clinics and Hobie Cat sailing adventures. Restaurants around the resort include open-sided Indigo on the Beach and laidback The Jetty Grill (don’t miss Firepit Fridays for rum punches and local music). There’s also Ottimo for wood-burning pizzas served poolside and chic Asian-styled East.
British Airways Holidays offers up to 35 per cent savings on your hotel stay. You’ll also receive a $200 spa credit per room when booking seven nights or more. Children stay and eat free when staying with one adult (one child per adult up to 12 years old, max two children per booking). Valid on travel from 1 June–12 December 2026 and 4 January–14 August 2027. Book by 30 June 2026. Blackout dates apply 15 August–15 October 2026 and 23-27 November 2026).

Domes Lake Algarve has three outdoor pools
Domes Lake Algarve, Autograph Collection, Vilamoura, Portugal
When it comes to holidays, the Algarve delivers – temperate weather, delicious food (you can’t visit without trying the fiery piri piri chicken) and a landscape that transitions from wild, windswept cliffs to sweeps of sun-kissed sand and manicured golf courses. Vilamoura, with its sleek marina and chicer still boutiques, is one of the region’s upscale resorts and Domes Lakes Resort sits at its heart. The five-star hotel wraps around its own saltwater lake and four pools, offering views from your lounger of rare birds swooping in a cloudless sky and mega-yachts bobbing on the ocean. Guests have direct access to Praia de Falésia beach and the hiking trails that crisscross Ria Formosa Natural Park – plus, there’s a spa. Follow the wooden walkways that snake through the gardens to dine beneath wooden pergolas on Portuguese, Greek, Italian and Japanese Peruvian menus, where the ambience is as chilled as the vinho verde.
British Airways Holidays offers up to 25 per cent savings on your hotel stay, valid on travel from 3 November–23 December 2026. Book by 30 June 2026. The specified offer will appear in red text during the booking process, should it be applicable. Price shown on ba.com includes any applicable discount. Subject to availability. T&Cs apply.
Chic coastal luxury at AVA Resort Cancún
AVA Resort Cancún, Mexico
AVA Resort Cancún may be a relative newcomer on the Yucatán Peninsula, but it’s already made a big impression – and we mean big. The starry all-inclusive has no fewer than 1,622 rooms, suites and villas, each one offering a private terrace with a view of the golden beach and the Caribbean Sea. Don’t let the epic scale put you off – the facilities more than match its capacity, and there are 17-plus restaurants, cafés and bars to cater to all tastes, whether fine dining or more casual. One day you could be at the steakhouse or in the Parisian-style bistro, the next you might be toying with a little teppanyaki or diving into the piquant flavours at the taqueria. Zesty margaritas flow at multiple drinking spots (there’s even a tequila cart), including the resort’s nightclub. Danced till dawn? Even party animals need downtime, so book little ones into the kids’ club while you restore balance with a herbal hydrotherapy session or a body ritual in the spa.
British Airways Holidays offers $200 in resort credit per stay per room to use towards the spa, beauty salon (selected services) and golf (a 35 per cent service fee applies to all services). In addition, two children (aged 4-12) stay free when sharing a room with one adult. Valid on all room types for travel from 28 April–17 December 2026. Book by 30 June 2026. The specified offer will appear in red text during the booking process, should it be applicable. Price shown on ba.com includes any applicable discount. Subject to availability. T&Cs apply.
Atrium Prestige Thalasso Spa Resort & Villas on Rhodes’ southeast coast
Atrium Prestige Thalasso Spa Resort & Villas, Rhodes, Greece
Family-owned Atrium Hotels & Resorts has operated on Rhodes for three decades and its properties are firmly rooted in the island way of life. Atrium Prestige Thalasso Spa Resort & Villas perches on the southeast coast, where guests can stroll barefoot out of their room and onto the Blue Flag beach for an early morning dip in the Med’s azure waters. Those who prefer to do their laps in fresh water can choose from several scenic swimming pools – many of the rooms, suites and villas also come with their own private plunge pools. Half a dozen dining options feed hungry guests, from flame-grilled Greek favourites to Asian fusion, while the sweet-toothed will love the gelataria. Counterbalance the retox with a detox at the hotel spa, which leans into thalassotherapy. The local village Lachania, with its whitewashed buildings, pretty cobblestone square and shady tavernas, is worthy of a visit.
British Airways Holidays offers seven nights from £1,749pp, which includes a €53pp environmental fee payable locally, travelling on selected dates from 1-31 October 2026 inclusive. Includes economy (Euro Traveller) return flights from London Gatwick Airport, one checked bag per person and accommodation on an all-inclusive basis. Book by 30 June 2026.
