Costs on a family holiday can quickly spiral out of control, which is why I suggest to par-ents trying to budget that they head for a Beach holiday. Sun, sea and sand are free to enjoy, so you only need to splash for sun cream and a few ice creams instead of costly activities! The kids can make sandcastles, play games and paddle in the ocean whilst mum and dad enjoy some much-needed relaxation and catch some rays.

There are dozens of great beach holiday destinations to choose from, but I think that Santa Eulalia in Ibiza is the pick of the bunch. You may think that Ibiza lives for pumping clubs and all night parties (which, in some parts, it is!), but Santa Eulalia is not a part of this scene and actually a very pretty and quiet resort. This is also somewhat of a hidden gem as parents do not think to come to Ibiza for a holiday – shh, keep it a secret!
