Self-catering holidays are so underrated... Yep, we said it. The humble self-catering holiday doesn't get nearly enough attention, if you ask us. Swap your usual all inclusive or half board holiday for a self-catering break and you might well be surprised by the freedom it offers.
Dine in or eat out, treat yourself to a lie in or get an early start. The choice is yours when you opt for the self-catering option at one of our hotels! We think it's the closest you can get to living like a local, too.
We've got a huge collection of self-catering holidays, covering everything from beachfront beauties to budget bases, and more! Here’s why we think they’re worth a try…
A self catering holiday gives you the freedom to enjoy your destination and live like a local. You're hotel stay is included, and then you can choose when and where you eat each day. Dine in or eat out, enjoy a lie in or head out early, and eat when it suits you. Book a self catering break with easyJet holidays and you'll get your flights, hotel and 23kg bag included, plus transfers on beach breaks, leaving you to plan the rest of your trip around you.
You'll more than likely have a kitchenette or a full kitchen in your room if you go self-catering, and all of the basic amenities will be included, so no need to pack the pots and pans! You get a 23kg hold bag included on self catering breaks with easyJet holidays, so you'll have plenty of space to take any home comforts like snacks or tea and coffee if you want to.
It can be! With no food or drink included in the package, you’ll have more freedom to shop around for local produce, or try some of the better-value restaurants in the area. It also means you can avoid the restrictions of set mealtimes at your hotel, and you can eat and drink when and where you please!
Possibly – some of our self-catering properties have their own café, restaurant, or snack bar. This means you can grab food and drinks at the hotel instead of cooking or heading out – just remember that these extras will be payable locally.
Absolutely not! While most of our hotels that offer a self-catering board basis come with fantastic in-room kitchen setups, you definitely don’t have to use them. Head out and about and sample local bars and restaurants while you’re on holiday – it’ll really give you a flavour of your destination.
