TUI launches 2025 winter sun holidays with loads of free kids places – including Cape Verde, Thailand and Egypt
LOADS of winter holidays are set to go on sale this week, with extra flights loads of free kids’ places.
TUI’s winter 2025 holidays launch on July 18, featuring thousands of resorts in more than 41 different destinations.
The holiday company is offering an extended booking window too, meaning holidaymakers can book their trips as far in advance as Easter 2026.
This will provide them with both more time to plan their trip and to spread the cost.
The holidays include exclusive, direct TUI charter flights from various regional UK airports to places like Senegal, Cape Verde, Goa and Thailand.
New 10 and 11-night trips to Thailand are available for next winter, with additional TUI flights from both London Gatwick and Manchester to Phuket.
There will also be new flights to Cancun in Mexico, from Newcastle and Cardiff airports.
They include a new fortnightly service running from Cardiff, as well as additional flights from Newcastle on selected dates in March and April 2026.
TUI has added more free kids’ trips to its holiday offerings, describing it as “its biggest ever winter for free kids’ places”.
Families can make the most of those offers in places like the TUI Blue Sensatori Atlantica Dreams in Greece, and the TUI Magic Life Africana in Tunisia.
Other popular hotels have been made available in the winter, including the Holiday Village Red Sea, which will start its season earlier than ever to include the Easter holidays.
Meanwhile, TUI’s Santa day trips will also be available for winter 2025, with an extra flight added from Newcastle to Kittila in Lapland to bolster the existing programme.
Included in the package are taster experiences, from reindeer sleigh rides to snowmobiling and a meet and greet with Santa.
Elsewhere, in the Indian Ocean, a trip to the brand-new hotel RIU Palace Mauritius has been added to TUI’s portfolio, for anyone interested in some winter sun.
The adults-only property is situated on a palm-fringed beach in the south-west of the island, perfect for some much-needed sun during the cold months.
TUI’s Tours Programme has also been expanded for winter 2025, with the introduction of exciting new itineraries in Senegal, Malaysia, Goa and Egypt Nile tours.
