The Travel Expert’s Best Travel Deals – 29th April 2025
I’ve searched the web so you don’t have to! My best travel deals from Ireland include last minute holidays, short breaks, amazing summer holidays, and super staycations.
This week’s best travel deals are calling! Snap up a last-minute trip to Majorca, soak up the sun in Kos, bag a bargain break to Las Vegas, enjoy luxury for less in the Maldives, treat the family to Lake Garda for the October mid term break, or yourself to Krakow for the Christmas markets! I’ve also got a super cruise deal with Royal Caribbean, and staycations in Cork and Clare.
Best Last Minute: Half Board Week in Majorca from €389!
Situated on a superb beach with a nature reserve next door, the Hotel Son Baulo’s location is second to none. If you are an active person, you will love the hiking and cycle trails nearby, but if that doesn’t float your boat you can also choose to laze by the large lagoon pool or on the beach.
Prices from €388 from Shannon or €524 from Dublin and Cork includes flights, hotel with breakfast and evening meal included, transfers and baggage, for seven nights. The hotel has excellent reviews on TripAdvisor and is superb value for a last minute holiday.

Best Overnight Escape: Lahinch from €63pp
Close to Lahinch beach, with the Cliffs of Moher just a 10-minute drive away, this is a great choice if you want to explore Clare’s gorgeous coastline, without breaking the bank.
There is a Leisure Centre on-site, with a 17 metre pool, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi – the perfect place to relax after exploring the Wild Atlantic Way.
Price for an overnight escape on the 18th of May is just €63 per person.
Best Summer Sun: A week in Kos from €539!
Kos is a bit of an all rounder, there is something to suit everyone here! Famous for its beaches, the island is also home to many ancient ruins, and is a Mecca for cyclists. Kos is just 45 x 11 kilometres, so it is easy to visit most of the highlights during one trip, and if you want to get off the island, there are endless possibilities to go island hopping.
I found a super deal staying in the heart of Kos Town in the top-rated Kosta Palace Hotel. With a rooftop pool to relax in, and the resort centre on your doorstep, it offers the best of both worlds.
Price for return flights and a seven night stay is €659 in June, €869 in July and €729 in August, based on 2 sharing. You can search all dates via the link below.

Best Family Holiday: Lake Garda October Mid Term from €1096!
Lake Garda has scenery, sights, and plenty of style, but a holiday there doesn’t have to break the bank! I found a super deal staying in the popular Bella Italia resort over the October mid term break. With a variety of pools and waterslides ( weather permitting ) games, and entertainment for all ages, plus the proximity to GardaLand theme park, Venice and Verona, you are guaranteed a holiday packed with fun and adventure.

The Beara Peninsula is one of my favourite parts of Ireland and these glamping pods are in the perfect location to explore it. Each pod has a kitchenette, bathroom with shower, and patio and seating area.
There is a private beach area on site too, and with Killarney, Kenmare and West Cork all within easy reach, the possibilities for day trips are endless.
The price is €151 per night, based on a family of four arriving on the 29th of June. I have linked the price for a two night stay, but dates and durations can be changed, simply edit via the link below to suit your requirements.
