Tenerife
With affordable prices, year-round sunshine and beaches for days, Tenerife ticks all the boxes for a cheap self-catering holiday. From large supermarkets to weekly local markets, major resorts, such as Costa Adeje and Los Cristianos, have everything you need for an easy self-catered break.
Benidorm
Brits love Benidorm for its mix of Spanish sunshine and British home comforts, with some supermarkets even stocking popular UK brands. Whatever your tastes, you’re never too far from a mini market on the Costa Blanca (and a beach, of course). For fresh produce, head to Mercado Municipal de Benidorm in the old town.
Costa del Sol
Whether you’re after rural villas with a pool or an apartment by the beach, the Costa del Sol has plenty of options. The big resorts, Marbella, Fuengirola, Benalmadena and Torremolinos, are all set up for tourism, and you’ll find a combination of large supermarkets and local markets at each one.

Corfu
Corfu’s coastline is dotted with beautiful resort towns, which means there are lots of cheap self-catering accommodation to choose from. Popular locations include Agios Ioannis, Messonghi, Gouvia, Kavos and Kanoni Beach. Like to shop local? You’re never too far away from a fresh food market in Greece.
Crete
With soft sandy beaches and brilliant blue waters, Crete is always a good shout for a self-catering holiday. Villas and apartments are easy to find along the island’s northern coast, where you’ll discover most of the main resorts. Whether you want to party in Malia or enjoy a chilled family holiday in Chania, you’ll find it in Crete.
Rhodes
Take your pick from a massive range of self-catered holiday accommodation in Rhodes, a popular island in the Dodecanese. Need an apartment by the sea? Head north for blissful resorts Ixia and Kallithea. If you’re dreaming of whitewashed rural villas, Rhodes’ southern tip is your best bet.
A self-catering holiday means your accommodation has cooking facilities, giving you the freedom to cook for yourself when you want to – saving on food and drink – and eat out when you feel like it.
Self-contained holiday accommodation is a private space where you don’t have to share sleeping, dining or bathroom facilities with other hotel guests. You’ll also have a kitchen for cooking.
To save money on a self-catering holiday, shop at a large supermarket, eat in at least twice a day, and prepare packed lunches for days out. You can also save money by travelling outside of peak season and comparing holiday deals well in advance of your trip.
Everything you’d take on a normal holiday, plus some practical things such as tea towels, washing up liquid, condiments and, of course, tea bags.
