This drops to just £1,511 in May, a saving of over £400 for the entire family.
Even June is much cheaper than August by 25 per cent, meaning you can grab a bargain by travelling just a few months before.

Emma Grimster, a spokesperson for TravelSupermarket said:”It is well worth making the most of the years before family holidays are restricted to school holidays or risk fines.”
She also said travelling earlier means much milder temperatures, which is better for kids and younger travellers.
She added: “Beaches and attractions also tend to be less crowded before resorts really fill up in late July and August.”
There are some great deals on TravelSuperMarket, with each holiday including seven nights at a hotel or apartment and return flights.
