Holidays in Jersey
Just off the coast of Normandy, with a warm Mediterranean climate and French-sounding names, package holidays in Jersey are as continental as they come.

What is there not to like? The largest of the Channel Islands, Jersey is the perfect alternative to holidays in the South of France – and far less hassle. It’s also a lot cheaper, both in terms of accommodation and cost of living. Whether you book all inclusive holidays at one of Jersey’s top hotels, or opt to go self-catering in a picturesque country cottage, you will find a luxurious break at down-to-earth prices.
When to go to Jersey on Holiday
Jersey is renowned for its gorgeous climate, which promises sunshine from early spring to late October. The summer months of July and August are the most popular time to book package holidays, with Easter and the half-term breaks coming a close second.
Selected events in 2011 include; The Jersey boat show (30th April - 2nd May), The Jersey flower show (25th & 26th June) and Tennerfest with 6 weeks of great meals in over 170 restaurants (1st Oct - 12th Nov).
Jersey has an endless stream of family events, but the main one is the famous Battle of the Flowers, in August. Next to tomatoes and potatoes, flowers are the island’s main export, and the island celebrates this with a huge display of floral-decorated floats, each on a different theme. Jersey is great fun for the kids – and the adults - whatever their age.
All inclusive holidays at the beach resorts in Jersey
Wherever you book your cheap holidays in Jersey, you can be sure of warm, clear waters and clean sandy beaches. Those in the south are popular with teens and adults, who can enjoy water sports like canoeing, wake boarding, water skiing, jet skiing and windsurfing. To the north are rocky bays that are perfect for diving, fishing and rock-pool exploring, while the calm waters of the south-east are a boon for younger families.
The best resorts for cheap family holidays are probably St Brelade’s, St Aubin’s, Gorey and St Ouen's Bay. Yet there are many others, and they’re within easy reach, wherever you stay.
