One surefire way to get rid of the January Blues is to give yourself something to look forward to by booking a summer holiday. And that’s what many of us will be doing today (January 6), dubbed 'Sunshine Saturday' because it’s the busiest day of the year for travel bookings. But before you click that ‘book now’ button, take a look at these deals we've rounded up for you.

Corfu, breakfast and dinner included from £497 per person in May

Jackson Groves, founder of adventure travel blog , recommends the Leda Beach Hotel in Corfu for Brits looking for a holiday with a balance of adventure and relaxation. “All-inclusives don't always provide the most authentic cultural immersion or culinary experience of a destination,” he told The Mirror. “While convenient for families or those seeking resort-style relaxation, Corfu does have so much more to offer beyond the hotel grounds.

"I'd suggest basing in a town like Corfu City or Benitses and allocating a larger portion of the budget to dining experiences, day trips around the island and evening strolls through lush scenery and quaint villages. It may cost a bit more but the memories would be truly enriched.” At this hotel you can swim up to your room and save money by enjoying breakfast and dinner on site, while venturing out for lunch and to see the sights. Prices start from £497 per person in May from Glasgow International (based on two people sharing)
