Travel company launches month-long all-inclusive holiday with flights for just £20 a day – but there’s a catch

HOLIDAYMAKERS could save themselves money this winter with a new package holiday deal that’s just been launched.

The deal includes a month-long trip to the 4* Ramada Resort Lara in Turkey, which features a huge outdoor pool, four restaurants, four bars, a patisserie and guaranteed sunshine for just £20 a day.

The catch? You have to be aged 66 and over to go. 

The vacation opportunity was launched by package holiday company On the Beach after MPs voted to cut Winter Fuel Payments for millions of pensioners. 

Its ‘Winter Fuel Escape’ holiday means pensioners can switch off their power at home and not use or pay a penny extra for gas, electricity or water bills, all while they soak up the sun abroad. 

Energy prices are set to rise 10 percent on October 1st alongside PM Keir Starmer’s decision to cut winter fuel payments. 

This means pensioners will pay, on average, £143 a month for their energy bills during the coldest months in Britain. 

According to the RLA (Retirement Living Standards), pensioners need to spend a minimum of £1,200 a month to achieve the living standard. 

On the Beach’s holiday deal, for just £20 a day or £560 a month, means pensioners can save up to £640 a month just by being on holiday. 

Zoe Harris, chief customer officer at On the Beach, said: “Scrapping the winter fuel payments means pensioners will be struggling to afford their £413 a month bills plus their food, drink and other expenses. 

“So we’re offering a specific package, which will save pensioners money and help them escape to warmer climates where there will be no need to stick on the heating.”

And it’s not just winter fuel payments, people have to worry about. 

Consumers are still enduring steep increases at tills on some items, despite overall grocery price inflation steadying at 1.7 percent in the four weeks to September 1. 

With the new holiday package, there is no need to spend money whatsoever as food and drink is included. 

Zoe continued: “Thinking about how much we spend a month on items such as cleaning products, toiletries, food, drink, popping to the newsagents, the occasional takeaway coffee or lunch out.

“With this new package there is no need to spend a penny and you can live it up in the sunshine by the pool knowing your pesky energy and water metres are sitting on the same number you left them on!”

The 5* Ramada Resort Lara is in Antalya – a popular holiday destination in Turkey because of its soft sand beaches, culture and ancient ruins. 

The hotel is centrally located among the major tourist and historical attractions in the area, and is just a short drive from Antalya Airport, Lara Beach Park and the city centre. 

There are four restaurants – Mood’s Restaurant is the main restaurant, offering breakfast, lunch, dinner and light snacks during the day.

Verona A La Carte Restaurant offers an Italian menu with a stylish atmosphere, Fish Inn specialises in seafood, and Osmanlı Restaurant offers flavours of traditional Turkish cuisine.

There are also four bars to choose from depending on where you want to hang out – one in the lobby, one by the pool, one by the sea, and one on the pier.

And alongside the main swimming pool is a slide pool, with four slides that open during the summer season.

The holiday package also includes return flights from London Gatwick, departing on November 5 – meaning you’d be back in time for Christmas.
