As the days are getting darker and more gloomy, you might be starting to dream away at the idea of going on a holiday in the next year.
But since most things have increase in price in the past year, so have travel costs. However, one holiday expert, known online as ‘robonthebeach’, has taken his time to look through travel statistics to find the top holiday destinations that offer cheap stays that he thinks will become all the rage for the next year.
“There are five destinations that I think are about to go viral in 2026,” Rob said at the start of the TikTok video.
He went on to explain that he had studied travel statistics from the past year in order to find the travel destinations that are becoming more popular – and that often end up being cheaper that alternative destinations in the same area.
“These are places rising fast in 2025 that I think are about to hit the next level next year,” he explained.
5. Porto, Portugal
“Lisbon had its moment, and Porto’s next,” Rob predicted. “It’s cheaper, people say it’s trendier, and it’s got that perfect mix of Old Town charm and ocean views.
“It’s becoming the new city break with sunshine favourite. And we’ve seen bookings here shoot up already this year. The fact that it still flies under the radar against Lisbon and Algarve makes it feel like the next big thing for travellers,” he added.
He then went on to share that he’d found an offer for a three-night stay in Porto, including flights and hotel stays, for £213 per person.
4. Seville, Spain
Spain has long been a favourite holiday destinations for Brits due to its many versitile options, perfect for a city break or enjoying the beaches of the Spanish coast. But while Benidorm, and Marbella have been some of the most popular holiday destinations, Seville is now getting its moment.
“It’s got the architecture of Madrid, the atmosphere of Barcelona, but it’s half the price and the food’s better,” Rob said.
So how much can you expect to spend for a holiday to Seville? The holiday expert went on to reveal that he’d found an offer on booking.com for flights and accommodation costing £182 per person for a three night stay.
3. Bulgaria
Rob went on to explain that Bulgaria is becoming ‘the go-to’ for people looking for affordable beach holidays. But he went on to say that the country has a lot more to offer rather than just being a cheap holiday destination.
“The hotels are improving, the beaches are spotless, and Sunny Beach is growing up a little bit,” he said. “It’s still dead fun, there’s just less chaos.”
And the prices are there to prove just how cheap it is, as Rob went on to share that he’d found a seven day holiday offer, including flights and a all-inclusive hotel stay for a family of four for £214 per person.
2. Agadir, Morocco
For the first option outside of Europe, Rob went on to explain that many people have recently realised that Morocco is a great alternative to the Canary Islands, as it offers all-inclusive resorts for a cheaper price, and it offers and exotice culture without a long-haul flight.
Rob went on to explain: “It’s a four hour flight from the UK, the weather’s about 25 degrees all year, and the resorts have gone up a notch in the last few years.”
So how much does it cost to go here for a week? Rob went on to show that he’d found an all-inclusive package with flights included for £370 per person.
1. Egypt
For the top choice, Rob went on to argue that Egypt has had one of the biggest ‘glow-ups’ in the last few years, with some destinations now offering world-class hotels to more affordable prices.
“The beaches, and the diving, and the all-inclusives are unmatched at its price, and I think 2026 is the year that Egypt becomes the luxury destination without the long-haul flight,” he said.
He went on to show that a stay in a five star all-inclusive hotel in June 2026 for seven nights will set you back £412 per person.
