After a dreary, wet, and cold start to the year, right now we’re planning our Spring and Summer escapes to warmer destinations to get our vitamin D fix and have a respite from daily life.
Whether you’re after a couples getaway, a bank holiday city escape, or a fun-packed trip with the family, there are numerous options on the cards for travel in 2026.
When booking the trips, there’s always that uncertainty of which hotel to commit to, especially if it’s in a new location. However, one hotel chain in particular that you can always count on is none other than Hilton.

From tranquil beaches, island retreats, thrilling activities for children, and all-inclusive options for everyone to enjoy, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to Hilton Resorts.

Jet away to the likes of the Hilton Malta, a 5-star resort that offers pure luxury in the heart of St. Julian’s. It’s great for couples or families that are looking to block out the outside world. It has a full-service spa, multiple dining venues, and it’s in a prime location for local facilities and attractions.
Or, opt for a quick weekend break in the UK at Alexander House and Utopia Spa to indulge in their first-class treatments and Rosette-awarded restaurants. Whether it’s partaking in a cute afternoon tea in the gardens or enjoying the culinary expertise at AG’s Restaurant, this is a great option for birthday or anniversary celebrations.
If you’re a planner (or just love a savvy saving), the Early Bird offer at Hilton is calling your name. Book at least three months ahead and enjoy up to 30% off when you stay three nights or more, making it the perfect excuse to lock in that long weekend or sunshine escape. Just note: it’s a non-refundable rate with a one-night deposit, so once it’s booked, the countdown begins.
Better yet, why not turn every getaway into something a little more fabulous with Hilton Honors? From your very first stay, you’ll earn Points to spend on free nights, dreamy upgrades, and those little extras that make a resort escape feel next level.
Elite members even score a fifth night free and skip resort fees. Climb to Gold or Diamond for space-available upgrades and food and drink credits – or go all-in with Diamond Reserve for confirmed upgrades, 4pm late check-out, and VIP treatment from start to finish. And the best bit? It’s completely free to join.
