Jet2 Activity Holidays: Jet2 Activity Holidays: A Family Guide 2026
If your family loves to stay active on holiday, Jet2 activity holidays are a fantastic way to combine sunshine, adventure and relaxation all in one trip. From cycling in Majorca to walking holidays in Madeira and family-friendly resorts in Turkey, Jet2holidays offers plenty of options for families who want more than just a pool holiday. One of the best things about Jet2 activity holidays is that they still include all the convenience families love from a package holiday. Flights, transfers, luggage and accommodation are all included, making travelling with children much easier.
Whether you’re travelling with sporty teenagers, adventurous younger children or simply want a holiday where everyone can stay active, here’s everything you need to know about Jet2 activity holidays.
What Are Jet2 Activity Holidays?
Jet2 activity holidays are specialist holidays designed around sports, outdoor adventures and active lifestyles. Instead of booking a standard beach break, you can choose destinations and hotels that are particularly suited to activities such as cycling, walking and hiking, golf, running, triathlon training and bowls holidays.
They’re available across many popular European destinations including Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Madeira and the Canary Islands. Many of the resorts also work brilliantly for families because they combine sports facilities with family-friendly extras like pools, kids clubs, entertainment and all inclusive dining.
What’s Included?
One of the reasons Jet2holidays is so popular with families is the ease of package travel. Most Jet2 activity holidays include:
Return flights, hotel accommodation, 22kg checked baggage per person, 10kg hand luggage, return transfers and ATOL protection
Having luggage included is especially useful for active holidays where you may need trainers, walking boots or sports gear.
Who Are Jet2 Activity Holidays Best For?
Jet2 activity holidays are ideal for: active families, families with sporty teenagers, parents wanting more than just a beach holiday, multi-generational family trips, families who enjoy outdoor adventures, and travellers looking for active all inclusive holidays
One of the best things about Jet2 activity holidays is that they combine adventure with convenience. You still get the ease of a package holiday while enjoying much more than simply sitting around the pool all day.
Jet2 Activity Holidays – What’s Available?
Family-Friendly Cycling Holidays
Cycling holidays are one of the fastest growing types of Jet2 activity holidays.
Many cycling-friendly hotels include secure bike storage, repair stations, nearby cycling routes, plus gyms and recovery spas.
For families, cycling holidays don’t have to mean intense training camps. Many destinations offer flat coastal routes and bike hire suitable for casual family rides too. Majorca and Tenerife are especially popular with active families looking for a mix of outdoor adventure and beach time.
Walking Holidays for Families
Walking holidays can be a brilliant way for families to slow down and explore destinations properly. Jet2 activity holidays focused on walking are particularly popular in Madeira, Portugal, Mainland Spain and the Canary Islands.
These holidays are ideal for families who enjoy nature, sightseeing and outdoor adventures rather than busy resort-only holidays. Many hotels are still located close to beaches, restaurants and family attractions, so there’s plenty to do outside of walking routes too.
Family-Friendly Golf Holidays
Golf holidays might not immediately sound family friendly, but many Jet2 activity holidays combine fantastic golf resorts with brilliant facilities for children.
Many golf resorts include kids clubs, large pools, family entertainment, all-inclusive dining and spacious family rooms.
This means parents can enjoy a round of golf while children enjoy the resort facilities. Turkey, Spain and Portugal are among the most popular destinations for Jet2 golf holidays.
Family-Friendly Running Holidays
Running holidays might sound like they’re only for serious athletes, but many Jet2 activity holidays are actually perfect for active families too. Resorts in destinations like Tenerife, Lanzarote and Majorca often have long beachfront promenades, scenic coastal paths and warm weather all year round. Parents can enjoy an early morning run while children take part in the kids club or relax by the pool later in the day. Many hotels featured in Jet2 activity holidays also include gyms, sports courts and wellness facilities, making them ideal for families who enjoy staying active while travelling. For sporty teenagers especially, running holidays can be a great way to combine fitness with sunshine and family time.
Family-Friendly Triathlon Holidays
Triathlon-focused Jet2 activity holidays are becoming increasingly popular with active parents looking to continue training while still enjoying a family holiday.
Many of the featured hotels include large swimming pools, fully equipped gyms, cycling-friendly facilities, plus spa and recovery areas
While one parent trains, the rest of the family can still enjoy the pools, entertainment and all inclusive facilities. These holidays work particularly well for families with sporty teenagers or older children who enjoy swimming, cycling or fitness activities themselves. Destinations like Tenerife and the Canary Islands are especially popular thanks to their warm year-round weather and outdoor sports facilities.
Family-Friendly Bowls Holidays
Bowls holidays may not immediately sound like a typical family holiday, but they can work brilliantly for multi-generational trips. Many Jet2 activity holidays that feature bowls facilities are based in large family-friendly resorts with swimming pools, evening entertainment, spacious family rooms, restaurants and all inclusive dining, plus beaches nearby.
This means grandparents (or anybody!) can enjoy bowls while younger family members still have plenty to keep them entertained. These relaxed-style holidays are often ideal for families travelling together across different age groups.
Tips for Booking Jet2 Activity Holidays With Children
When booking family-friendly Jet2 activity holidays, it’s worth looking for hotels that offer a balance between sports facilities and family entertainment.
Things to look for include:
- Kids clubs
- Family pools or splash parks
- Spacious family rooms
- All inclusive dining
- Easy beach access
- Nearby walking or cycling routes
If you’re travelling with younger children, destinations like Majorca and Portugal can work particularly well because they combine family resorts with gentle outdoor activities. For families travelling with teenagers, Tenerife and the Canary Islands are often ideal thanks to their wider range of sports facilities and adventure activities. Booking all inclusive Jet2 activity holidays can also help keep costs manageable for families, especially during school holidays.
Final Thoughts on Jet2 Activity Holidays
Jet2 activity holidays are a fantastic option for families looking for something beyond a standard beach holiday. Whether you want scenic walks in Madeira, cycling in Majorca or a luxury golf resort in Turkey, there are plenty of destinations designed for active family travel. The combination of family-friendly hotels, sports facilities and package holiday convenience makes Jet2 activity holidays ideal for families wanting both adventure and relaxation. If your family enjoys keeping busy while travelling, these holidays are definitely worth considering for your next getaway.

Disclaimer: I have learnt running 21km is no joke, I would not recommend anyone be this delusional ✌🏻
I know a lot of the running community don’t like this sort of thing; beginners entering races they have no business entering. And I get it. For me, signing up was complete ignorance during a very difficult time. I wanted to raise money for the hospice that was caring for my mum, and the London marathon was happening at the time - I told my mum I’d run the London marathon next year - which is ridiculous as I’ve never ran in my life (I actually got a place on the Pancreatic cancer UK team 🙏🏻). My brother suggested signing up for this half marathon to help me prepare - so I did. And through grief and life, training started a little later than planned… but here we are. It would have been easy to drop out, say I’ll do it another time, but I’m not in it for the glory. I’m there to try my best, and raise money for an amazing charity. We have raised £11k so far; which is absolutely insane. If I get scooped up, I get scooped up. I want to see how far I can get before I do - and I’ll be a lot more prepared for London next year.
If you’d like to support my run by donating to an incredible hospice, I have the link in my linktree ❤️ (it’s linked in my bio or you can google the travel mum linktree)

If you have a young girl, chances are she’s getting a Disney doll for Xmas from me 😂✌🏻
My son will absolutely LOVE this
We already have 50,000 of these, but my friends son doesn’t, and I know he will love them.
We have a lot of this marble run track, but we don’t have one that sticks to a window and automatically takes the ball up and round. Absolute easy win for my kids.
I looked at the rules, it sounds like it will be a fun travel game now Leo is old enough to get involved in card games!

Today it became really apparent that I can’t be everything… we built a business so our kids could have a comfortable future, we wanted to have freedom to do lots of things together - yet I spend 90% off the time pushing them away while I fail to get everything done. This hand holding back and forth went on for a bit before I realised it’s the perfect metaphor - he just wants me now, while I’m busy worrying about the future.
Not sure what the solution is, but solidarity to anyone else failing the balance 😅 if you’ve worked it out, do share 😄💛
