Just decide on a destination, select the ‘self-catering’ option from our list of board types (where the little knife and fork symbol is) and hit search. You can then compare your results by price, accommodation star rating or guest reviews.

Once you’ve found a few cheap self-catering holidays that fit your budget and destination, consider the following to make sure you find the best deal possible:

• Location: If you’re not renting a car, make sure your accommodation is within walking distance of a large supermarket and has good transport connections to attractions and activities
• Facilities: ‘Self-catering’ is a broad description, and your accommodation can range from cheap hotels and apartments with small kitchenettes to huge resorts with fully equipped kitchens and a shared pool
• Car hire: Looking for a little peace and quiet? Car hire may be a good idea to get to attractions and the supermarket with ease
• Authentic eating: Some of the freshest food comes from local markets. Take some time to check where they are at your destination and when they are open

Spain is a classic self-catering destination for a reason. Whether you’re keen on the Canaries or are heading to the costas, here’s some inspiration for a cheap self-catering holiday in Spain.

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.
