As the weather starts to turn colder, many Brits will already be dreaming about their next summer escape. Although 2026 might still seem a little way off, the travel specialists at Club Med have unveiled a series of exclusive luxury holiday offers.

Running from October 14 - 17, the Club Med Summer Sale gives travellers the chance to secure premium all-inclusive holidays at some of the brand's most luxurious resorts and destinations.

Children under six can stay for free. Bookings are available with a low deposit from just £150 per person.

Brits looking to escape the winter blues could consider a trip to Marrakech in January. A magical destination, travellers can swap grey skies for golden sunsets, bustling souks and the intoxicating scent of spices wafting through the air.

With pleasant daytime temperatures and fewer crowds, the winter months are a great time to explore the Northern African city. As part of its Dream Deals promotion, Club Med is offering a five-night stay from £1001 per person, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Marrakech is the perfect destination to welcome the new year feeling refreshed and inspired. The all-inclusive package offers a luxurious stay at Marrakech La Palmeraie, part of the Exclusive Collection, where elegant suites with timeless charm are set amidst lush gardens and surrounded by the rich beauty of Moroccan artistry.

For families, the Family Oasis provides spacious accommodations designed for unforgettable holidays with children, combining modern comfort with traditional flair. Little ones under six stay free on selected breaks, and suite upgrades are available for those seeking an extra touch of indulgence.

Guests who have experienced the magic of Club Med Marrakech have rated it 4.5 out of five stars on Tripadvisor. One delighted visitor commented: "Little paradise in Riad. High-quality service, perfect and delicious catering, and comfortable suites for a restful stay."

Another commented: "Club Med Marrakech is always a perfect place. The setting is beautiful: the gardens are very well maintained, the common areas are very clean. The food is excellent and the bar team is always on top."

A third simply described it as: "A magnificent site with an exceptional team."

One visitor who wasn't entirely satisfied observed: "We waited for almost two hours for the transfer to the club and then more than an hour for our pick-up, because it had not been prepared. Very disappointed."

Autumn is consistently a favoured time of year for planning ahead. Should Club Med getaways not quite fit the bill, Jet2 is providing up to £240 off summer holidaysfor 2026, featuring premium resorts as part of the Indulgent Escapes collection and complimentary child places.

For travellers watching their pennies, On The Beachhas recently launched its 2026 summer holiday offers. There are numerous bargains to be discovered, but a seven-night break in Spain departing from Manchester in June starts from £240 per person.

For those seeking some winter sun in more exotic locales, Club Med Dream Deals are available in Phuket, Bali and Cancun. Ski enthusiasts can enjoy a 15% discount on holidays in Grand Massif and Serre-Chevalier in France, as well as Italy's Piedmont region.

Club Med is also offering enticing deals for summer 2026 holidays, including luxurious breaks at its new South Africa Club Med resort. Set to open on 4 July 2026, the resort offers a unique blend of beachside relaxation and safari adventure, featuring Club Med's first-ever surf school.

Situated in KwaZulu-Natal, a mere 45 minutes from Durban, the resort provides direct beach access and the opportunity to extend your stay with a one-to-three-night safari experience at Mpilo Lodge. Here, guests can embark on two daily game drives and spot the Big Five in their natural surroundings.

Another great choice is the upgraded Punta Cana Resort in the Dominican Republicthat is popular with families. An ideal destination for summer holidays, it boasts Club Med's largest water park, complete with over 20 slides and splash zones, as well as a luxurious spa.

Holidaymakers have the option to upgrade to a premium all-inclusive experience, encompassing gourmet dining, drinks, sports and activities. Kids Clubs for children aged four and above are included, though there is an additional charge for under-fours.

The Club Med property in Punta Cana boasts an impressive 4.4-star rating on TripAdvisor. One guest remarked: "It was way better than my expectation... Definitely recommend this resort to every family with kids. I took golf and tennis lessons there with my wife, and the instructor knew what they're doing."

One holidaymaker shared their glowing review: "I had an amazing experience during my stay at Club Med Punta Cana. The resort itself is beautiful - the beach, the activities, and the atmosphere make it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy. The staff truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome."

However, not every piece of feedback was completely glowing. A visitor highlighted some shortcomings: "There is a ton of seaweed on the beach these days, which is a bummer, and the music is a bit too loud for my taste, but I am told this will change once the renovations are completed this Fall. However, overall, the value of what is included (everything) and the quality of service can not be beat."

Autumn consistently proves a favoured period for forward planning. Should Club Med breaks not suit your needs, Jet2 is providing up to £240 off summer getaways for 2026, featuring premium resorts within the Indulgent Escapes range and complimentary child places.

Club Med is offering a pre-registration for Summer 2026 bookings until 10 October 2025 via their pre-booking page. The main sales period will run from 14 to 17 October, with offers available on the Summer Holiday Deals page.
