A week in Crete from £215 per person is well worth a look, especially when it includes return TUI flights and a 4.7/5-rated adults-only hotel in Malia.
The catch is that this is a simple self-catering break, not a plush resort stay. It’s also hand-luggage pricing, with hold bags extra. But for late May into early June, £430 total for two adults is cheap for a full week in Crete.
The deal we found is through On the Beach, staying at Aegean Sky Hotel & Suites in Malia. It departs Birmingham on 28 May and returns on 5 June, with TUI flights to and from Heraklion. The outbound is an evening flight and the return is in the early hours, so this suits people who can live with awkward timings in exchange for the lower price.
The hotel is the reassuring part. On the Beach shows a 4.7/5 TripAdvisor score from more than 2,000 reviews, and describes it as an adults-only 16+ complex with a pool, snack bar, and self-catering studios. It’s around 1.4km from the beach and close to Malia’s bars and clubs, so it’s better for a lively, low-cost sun break than a quiet retreat.
When we checked on 12 May, the £215 per-person price was based on two adults sharing a studio, with no checked bags. On the Beach showed hand luggage included and hold luggage at £25 per bag. Prices update as inventory changes, so the exact figure can move before you book.
How to book
Use the Book Now button below to open the On the Beach package we found. Check the Birmingham departure, the 28 May travel date, room type, baggage, and flight times before paying. If the price has moved, search nearby late-May and early-June dates and keep baggage to hand luggage only to get closest to the headline price.
