The last-chance summer holidays to book now
Economic and political uncertainty have made delaying booking a summer holiday understandable. And, though pickings are now slim for summer 2025, there are still houses and hotel rooms to be had if you know where to look. One tour operator told us that Italian villas hadn't sold as well as usual – so, with a bit of research, there are retreats between the olive groves and seaside pads under shady pines to be found. Summer can also be the best time to head long-haul, because many travellers save these destinations for winter sun. Elsewhere, think laterally. Avoid the most touristy spots (swapping the best-known Greek islands for a lesser-visited atoll, or a Balearic beach town for Asturias's empty sand, for example) and you might have a better experience too. Below, we've found 20 of the best holidays still with availability for summer 2025 – from France to Florida and beyond. Find the perfect holiday: Houses and villas Beach breaks Young families Adventurous trips Something a bit different Houses and villas Lanzarote A chic side to the Canaries
