TUI MAGIC LIFE Holidays – A Complete Guide 2026
If you’re looking for a holiday where almost everything is taken care of from the moment you arrive, TUI MAGIC LIFE is one of those options that makes family travel feel genuinely easy. These clubs are designed around the idea of 24-hour All Inclusive, so meals, snacks, drinks and a huge range of activities are already included, which can make budgeting much simpler once you’re away.
What makes MAGIC LIFE stand out is that it’s much more than a standard all-inclusive hotel. Most resorts are set right by the beach and combine large pool areas with a really full activity programme, so there’s usually something happening from morning through to evening. Think buffet restaurants, speciality dining, pool games, sports sessions and entertainment all built into the stay.
What’s Included in a TUI MAGIC LIFE Holiday?
One of the biggest selling points is the around-the-clock food and drink offering. Alongside the main buffet restaurants, many clubs also have speciality restaurants where you can book meals during your stay, with options often including international dishes and local favourites. Snacks and drinks are available throughout the day, which is especially helpful when travelling with children who never seem to get hungry at the same time as adults.
A standard package usually includes:
- Flights and luggage with TUI
- Transfers to and from resort
- Accommodation
- 24-hour All Inclusive dining and drinks
- Daily activities and evening entertainment
TUI MAGIC LIFE Activities
If your family prefers holidays where everyone can stay busy, MAGIC LIFE clubs are especially strong here. Activities vary by hotel, but commonly include:
- Tennis
- Beach volleyball
- FootballArchery
- Fitness classes
- Yoga and Pilates
- Mountain biking
Some resorts also include windsurfing, paddle sports and catamaran sailing, which gives older children and teens plenty to try.
TUI MAGIC LIFE Kids’ Clubs
For families, the kids’ club setup is a big draw. TUI splits activities into age groups, which means younger children and older kids usually have programmes that feel tailored rather than mixed together.
Age groups typically include:
- MyMo Minis for ages 3-5
- MyMo Maxis for ages 6-11
- YoungStars for older children
- Teen programmes at selected clubs
Activities can include crafts, sports tournaments, mini discos and evening entertainment, while shaded play areas and baby facilities help younger families too. Sessions can usually be booked through the TUI app, which makes planning easy once you arrive.
TUI MAGIC LIFE Entertainment
MAGIC LIFE resorts are known for lively evenings, but they usually balance this well so families can join in without it feeling too adult-focused. Depending on the resort, you might find:
- Outdoor shows
- Theme nights
- Silent discos
- Family cinema evenings
- Live music
- White party-style entertainment nights
The newer Star Night in White events have become especially popular at some resorts, with music, themed décor and a more special-event feel during the week.

Luca is the biggest “Paw Tall” fan, once he hit 90cm we had to check out the new Paw Patrol area at Chessington.
There are 4 rides, you need to be 90cm for them all:
- Chase’s Mountain Mission - A family-friendly coaster.
- Skye’s Helicopter Heroes - A small tower ride or rotating flight ride.
- Zuma’s Hovercraft Adventure - A spinning, rider-controlled drifting ride.
- Marshall’s Firetruck Rescue.
In the centre there’s a playground area with picnic benches. You can also meet the pups throughout the day.
There’s a gift shop that wasn’t TOO extortionate. It was £12 for a small plushie or £8 for a pup fluffy ball thing (this is what we got the boys). There is a hook a duck (catch a bone) game, but I didn’t rate the odds of winning so decided the gift shop would be better value 😅
It’s quite a small area, but for a paw patrol fan it’s worth a visit! The rest of the park had lots of things for our 90cm 2 year old to do too. Chessington is a fab park for the tiny ones.
I’ve got a link in my linktree to a current hotel offer for Chessington - you get two days of park tickets with an overnight stay and breakfast. That also gets you early entry into the park, which is a great way to do Paw Patrol land with short queues.
