1. Egypt

Average holiday price: £602pp

Average October holiday price: £1,258pp

Egypt soars to the top of the Holiday Hotlist this month, clinching the crown with its glorious beach resorts and fascinating history. Head to Sharm el Sheikh or Hurghada for spectacular diving and snorkelling and year-round sun, or the pyramids, museums and bazaars of the capital city, Cairo.

Why is Egypt a top destination?

Searches are on the rise

With the shoulder season one of the best times to visit Egypt, both for the weather and value, searches spiked enormously last month, up by over 290%.

Average prices are falling

If you’re considering an Egypt escape over the autumn or winter months, now is a great time to book. The price of the average seven-night holiday has dropped nearly 17% to £602 per person.

All-inclusive upgrade value

Egypt has long been a popular choice for all-inclusive lovers, and it’s even more attractive right now. Upgrading from bed and breakfast will actually see you £9 per person better off on average.

4. Fuerteventura, Canary Islands, Spain

Average holiday price: £570pp

Average October holiday price: £612pp

The Canary Islands are always popular in shoulder season, so it’s no surprise that the wind-sculpted sand dunes and whitewashed villages of Fuerteventura, September’s number one, remain among the top destinations this month. Another beautiful volcanic island, it’s popular with everyone from families and couples to solo adventurers.

Why is Fuerteventura a top destination?

Searches are on the rise

Fuerteventura’s status among the Holiday Hotlist leaders recently has been driven partly by a massive spike in interest, with TravelSupermarket searches up by 81% in September.

Average prices are falling

Now is a good time to compare Fuerteventura holidays too, with the average price of a seven-night holiday falling over 5% in September, down to a tempting £570 per person.

Beers are cheap

The satisfaction of a cheap beer on holiday is unrivalled. And in Fuerteventura, that satisfaction is on tap, with the average local beer coming in at just £2.36.

5. Santorini, Greece

Average holiday price: £488pp

Average October holiday price: £465pp

Santorini and its iconic white cliffside houses claimed #5 on this month’s Holiday Hotlist. One of Greece’s most recognisable holiday destinations, this spectacular island offers an unusual yet captivating multi-coloured coastline, with black, red and white beaches giving way to dazzlingly blue water.

Why is Santorini a top destination?

It’s cheaper on average

No destination saw an average seven-night holiday price drop as big as Santorini in September. Prices were down over 35% to £488 per person, making it the third-cheapest destination on the latest Holiday Hotlist.

Last-minute deals

Santorini is also showing exceptional value for a last-minute getaway, with the average price of a seven-night holiday in October just £465 per person - the cheapest on this month’s Holiday Hotlist.

October savings

And just to sweeten the deal even further if you’re considering Santorini in October, you’ll be saving an average of £200 per person by choosing this month over September.

6. Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain

Average holiday price: £571pp

Average October holiday price: £525pp

Majorca is down one place to #6 this month, bringing its magical array of beaches, with rocky coves, soft white sand and shimmering turquoise waters. This breathtaking destination in the Balearic Islands offers a variety of holidays, whether you’re looking to sunbathe in pretty Alcudia or party until the sun comes up in Magaluf.

Why is Majorca a top destination?

It’s very popular

Majorca was particularly popular among TravelSupermarket searches in September and was eclipsed by only Tenerife and Fuerteventura, despite a slight decrease compared to August.

Average prices are falling

If you’re considering an out-of-season Majorca break, now is a great time to start comparing deals. Prices fell by almost 10% in September, with the seven-night holiday average now at just £571 per person.

October savings

If you’ve waited that little bit longer for your shoulder season getaway to Majorca, you’ve made an excellent decision. October breaks here are £161 per person cheaper on average compared to September.

7. Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

Average holiday price: £625pp

Average October holiday price: £640pp

Tenerife, an iconic mix of glorious beaches, volcanic landscapes and vibrant nightlife in the Canary Islands, is a regular on the Holiday Hotlist and takes #7 this month. From the buzzing bars of Playa de las Americas to the tranquil black-sand beaches of Los Gigantes, there are holidays for all tastes here.

Why is Tenerife a top destination?

It’s very popular

Despite sliding down the Holiday Hotlist slightly this month, Tenerife remains incredibly popular, with more TravelSupermarket searches than any destination in September.

Last-minute deals

While the average price of a holiday to Tenerife departing over the next six months has risen slightly, the cost of a last-minute October break is more appealing. £640 per person is cheaper than four Holiday Hotlist destinations this month.

Beers are cheap

When you touch down in Tenerife, it won’t be long before you have a cold drink in your hand. And you may head to the bar even quicker when you hear that the average price of a local draught beer (£2.14) is cheaper than any of our top 20 most searched destinations.

8. Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain

Average holiday price: £658pp

Average October holiday price: £663pp

The Canary Islands have seen a slight drop on October’s Holiday Hotlist, but Lanzarote is in at #8 as three keep their top 10 places from last month. Playa Blanca, Costa Teguise and Puerto del Carmen are three of the main resorts here, with each boasting golden beaches and easy access to the staggering lava fields of Timanfaya National Park.

Why is Lanzarote a top destination?

Average prices are falling

While still slightly pricier on average than other Holiday Hotlist destinations this month, the cost of a seven-night getaway to Lanzarote departing over the next six months has fallen by 3.4%.

It’s popular

The Canary Islands are particularly attractive at this time of year, offering fantastic weather as other destinations cool. This appeal is shown by Lanzarote seeing a significant number of searches in September.

Beers are cheap

9. Rhodes, Greece

Average holiday price: £557pp

Average October holiday price: £531pp

The Greek islands are always close rivals to the Canary Islands, and although Rhodes has slipped down the rankings this month, it’s still one of the most attractive destinations right now. Featuring a myriad of medieval streets and ancient temples, it’s a history lover’s paradise - but impeccable cuisine and exquisite beaches across Lindos, Pefkos and other resorts make it suitable for any traveller.

Why is Rhodes a top destination?

It’s cheaper on average

When we analysed the top 20 most searched destinations on TravelSupermarket in September, Rhodes holidays were among the cheapest on average, at £557 per person.

Average prices are falling

That average seven-night holiday figure comes following a significant decrease in September, an 11.5% drop compared to August.

10. Agadir, Morocco

Average holiday price: £546pp

Average October holiday price: £644pp

Why is Agadir a top destination?

Searches are on the rise

Agadir’s rapid ascent into the Holiday Hotlist top 10 comes partly due to a huge increase in TravelSupermarket searches, with a 134% rise in September compared to August.

It’s cheaper on average
