A great island holiday doesn’t have to come with a luxury price tag. Some of the most memorable trips aren’t defined by overwater villas or butler service, but by lazy days on the beach, quality family time, friendly staff who make you feel at home, comfortable rooms, good food and knowing you’re not going to be paying off your holiday for months to come.
That’s the thinking behind The Holiday Factory’s Value Collection.
This collection brings together resorts that offer an excellent holiday experience at a price that’s affordable. They’re not the cheapest hotels we sell, nor are they budget resorts. Instead, they’re properties that offer a balance of quality, comfort, location and value, allowing you to enjoy an unforgettable island escape without paying more than you need to.
When you see the Value Collection badge, you can book knowing you’re getting a resort that offers genuine value for money.
More than a budget beach break
Our Value Collection isn’t based on price alone and certainly doesn’t require you to lower your expectations. It’s more about making a smart choice.
Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, a family holiday or just a well-earned break, our Value Collection proves that it’s possible to enjoy beautiful destinations, comfortable accommodation and memorable experiences without stretching your budget.
Many of these resorts also include excellent meal and drinks plans that help you get even more from your holiday.
Excellent value resorts in Mauritius
Mauritius is one of our favourite island destinations, and several of its resorts have earned a place in our Value Collection.
The Attitude collection of hotels is Mauritian-owned and offers real down-to-earth experiences and plenty of variety. Ravenala Attitude is one of our favourites with spacious accommodation and plenty of choice for families and couples alike, while Zilwa Attitude boasts a beautiful lagoon setting, great dining and authentic local experiences. For couples wanting a relaxed adults-only escape, Sunrise Attitude is a great choice with the unique option of swim-up rooms.
You’ll also find excellent value at Crystals Beach Resort Belle Mare, Preskil Island Resort, and Maritim Resort & Spa Mauritius, each offering plenty to do and beautiful locations without the premium price tag.
Affordable resorts in the Maldives
The Maldives is often seen as an exclusive luxury destination, but there are plenty of ways to experience its famous turquoise lagoons without booking the most expensive resort.
Properties such as Kuredu Island Resort & Spa and Meeru Maldives Resort Island have long been favourites with South African travellers thanks to their beautiful beaches and wide range of activities.
Meanwhile, Adaaran Select Hudhuranfushi and Adaaran Select Meedhupparu offer excellent all-round holidays with comfortable accommodation, great dining and easy access to the spectacular marine life that makes the Maldives so special.
Other great value beach holidays
Our Value Collection extends well beyond Mauritius and the Maldives.
In Seychelles, resorts such as Coral Strand Smart Choice Hotel, Savoy Seychelles Resort & Spa, and Avani+ Barbarons Seychelles Resort provide comfortable bases in some of the most popular locations on Mahé. While in Zanzibar, VOI Kiwengwa Resort is a popular choice thanks to its beautiful beaches.
Thailand also offers exceptional holidays without an extravagant price tag. The Vijitt Resort Phuket, Phuket Graceland Resort & Spa, and Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa each combine sought-after locations with comfortable accommodation and excellent facilities, making them ideal for couples and families alike. While in Bali, Mövenpick Resort & Spa Jimbaran Bali and The Patra Bali Resort & Villas also provide everything you need for an enjoyable tropical escape without breaking the bank.
Value beach resorts you can trust
Our aim when curating our Value Collection was simple: to make it easier for you to choose a resort where you’ll feel confident that your holiday budget has been well spent.
We have done the leg work so you can focus less on what you spend and more on the memories you bring home. Because travelling on a sensible budget shouldn’t mean settling for less.
