Rhodes Luxury All Inclusive
Family of 4 from £4599

Whether you're treating the kids to a week in the sun or jetting off on an escape for two, Princess Andriana Resort and Spa could be just the luxury retreat you've been searching for. Plonked on Rhodes' Mediterranean coast – meaning calmer, warmer waters than other parts of the island – this place is a winner from the get-go.

So will you make for the beach or lounge by the pool? The main swim spot is a spacious, curvy number with plenty of sun loungers sprinkled 'round the edge. There's a kids' pool, too, and an all-day restaurant pitched up nearby to keep you well-fed and watered on those long, sunny afternoons. Six times a week the little ones can get stuck into the entertainment offering at the children's activity centre, while pool activities and other games to suit the whole family are a mainstay on the roster, too.

The star of the show might be the onsite water park, though. With more than a dozen slides to suit all ages (and thrill levels), there's sure to be plenty of fun in store. And with a separate splash zone with jets plus a kids' animation pool that suitable for tots aged two and up, the whole family can get involved in the fun.

You'll be dining in style at the impressive choice of restaurants here

Price based on 2 adults and 2 kids (2-11) sharing a Family Room with Inland View for 7 nights on All Inclusive. Transfers and luggage allowance included.

UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC)

▪️What is the UK GHIC?
The UK Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) allows you to access necessary state healthcare in the European Economic Area (EEA) and certain other countries. You’ll receive treatment on the same terms as a local resident, which may be free or require a payment similar to what they would pay.

▪️Has the GHIC replaced the EHIC?
Yes, the UK GHIC has replaced the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). However, if you still have a valid EHIC, you can continue using it until it expires. Once it does, you’ll need to apply for a UK GHIC.

▪️When can I apply for a UK GHIC?
You can apply for a new card up to nine months before your current EHIC or GHIC expires.

▪️How long does a UK GHIC last, and is it free?
A UK GHIC is free of charge and remains valid for up to five years.

▪️Where should I apply for a UK GHIC?
You should apply through the official NHS website . Be cautious of unofficial websites that may charge you a fee to apply.

▪️Can I still get a UK EHIC?
If you have rights under the Withdrawal Agreement, you can choose to apply for a new UK EHIC instead of a GHIC.

▪️Does the UK GHIC replace travel insurance?
No, the UK GHIC is not a substitute for travel insurance. It is strongly recommended to have private travel and medical insurance for the duration of your trip.

When you’re not soaking up the sun on the beach or by the pools, there’s an air-conditioned gym, and you can get involved with water volleyball, aqua aerobics, and tennis.

The main restaurant, Mosaic Brasserie, serves a buffet of international food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and there’s often show cooking to watch (and the chocolate fountain is always a hit). There are five à la carte eateries, serving everything from Greek and Italian cuisine to New York burgers and barbecued specialities – and they all have plenty of outdoor seating to make the most of the warm summer evenings.
