Sun, sea and savvy planning for Devon families
If you love the idea of a sandy break without the faff, On The Beach makes holiday planning feel a bit lighter. You know the sort of trip I mean: late breakfasts, a slow walk along the shore and no one arguing over who packed the sun cream. This guide looks at how people in Devon can find real savings with On The Beach, whether you are booking a quick escape or planning next summer’s big family holiday.
Can you get On The Beach discount?
Short answer: there is no widely advertised NHS or health service only discount on On The Beach that we could find. That said, there are plenty of general ways to save. On The Beach regularly runs seasonal sales, last minute bargains and early bird deals that shave off a good chunk of the price. Keep an eye out for Summer sale events, Black Friday offers and occasional promotional codes that appear on their homepage or in email campaigns. If you want perks like room upgrades or free transfers, check specific package pages as those extras sometimes appear as limited time offers.
How to save with On The Beach
Let me explain a few simple tactics that actually work. These are the kinds of moves real people in Devon use when they want more holiday for less money.
- Sign up for the newsletter Many of the best offers land first in inboxes. You also get early access to flash sales and exclusive codes.
- Watch for peak moments Book early for summer to secure lower prices and better flights, or wait for last minute deals if your dates are flexible.
- Use cashback sites A small percentage back can add up on a family holiday. Check major cashback portals before you click through.
- Compare package vs flight only Sometimes flight and hotel bundles are cheaper, sometimes separate bookings win. Do the sums.
Practical saving tips you can start using today
Here are three quick, practical tips that suit On The Beach and people who like a bit of planning.
- Set price alerts. If your travel dates are flexible, alerts will tell you when a price drops and help you pounce.
- Travel slightly off-peak. Late September or early autumn often gives warm weather and lower rates, plus calmer beaches.
- Check add-ons carefully. Transfers and luggage sometimes push the price up. If you can manage without a checked bag, you might save more than a promo code would give.
Similar holiday sites you might like
If you want to cast a wider net, Virgin Holidays and Jet2holidays also run frequent sales and sometimes have schemes for health service staff. They each have different strengths. Virgin Holidays often bundles premium experiences and family upgrades, while Jet2holidays is known for value packed packages and regular flight options out of regional airports. You can explore both here: Virgin Holidays and Jet2holidays. These sites are worth checking alongside On The Beach because sometimes one will carry a deal the others do not, especially around Bank Holidays and school half terms.
Saving money with travel specific moves
Here are a few industry-savvy ideas that keep more pounds in your pocket. Think of them as small habits that add up into a cheaper, calmer holiday.
- Use flexible date searches on the site. Moving your trip by a day or two can change the cost significantly.
- Look for combined offers that include transfers or drinks. It may seem more expensive upfront but often it covers what you would pay later.
- Book with a debit card that gives travel protection or a credit card with travel insurance to avoid separate policies.
