Our Top Picks: The Unmissable Coach Holiday Destinations of 2026

We’re entering a new year, so start as you mean to go on and get excited about organising a 2026 UK coach holiday. From the immense scenery of the UK’s countryside landscapes to the endless attractions sprinkled across UK piers, our journeys span the UK’s favourite holiday destinations.

Our Alfa Holidays 2026 Brochure is now available, so get familiar with the best places to visit in the UK in 2026 and start planning your getaway. Take a look at our top picks based on the latest UK travel trends in 2026 in this handy guide.

When is the best time to book a holiday?

In order to secure the most convenient coach holidays possible, we always recommend booking your trip well in advance. Not only can you find holidays that best suit your schedule, but you can also get priority on your accommodation and seating preferences. 

 

We suggest booking your trip 6 to 12 months in advance, especially if you’re travelling during peak periods. Solo travellers should also book well ahead of time to ensure single rooms are still available, as they’re highly sought after amongst our guests.

The excitement and anticipation are all part of the experience, so arrange your 2026 UK coach holidays sooner rather than later and look forward to your trip!

The best places to visit in the UK 2026

If you’re looking for scenic holidays in the UK for 2026, you won’t be disappointed by the breathtaking selection of destinations dotted across the nation. If you’re unsure which spots to tick off in 2026, however, take a look at our top recommendations for city breaks by coach in 2026.

 

Torquay: Plan a seaside getaway with Alfa’s Torquay coach holidays. Famously referred to as the ‘English Riviera,’ it’s no surprise that this coastal town remains a hotspot for tourists. With sandy shores and sparkling sea views, perfect for those looking to bask in the sun, as well as endless activity and entertainment opportunities, Torquay appeals to all kinds of holidaymakers.

Fort William: Become one with nature in the Scottish Highlands when you hop on board one of our coach trips to Fort William. Take a break from city life, breathe in the crisp air and gaze upon nature in its purest form – Fort William is the perfect place to reset. Throw in a few charming Scottish pubs, a historic steam train, and you’re in for a one-of-a-kind experience in this magical destination.

Llandudno: Alfa Holidays offers year-round adventure, because holiday making shouldn’t be limited to just the sunnier times of year! That’s why we offer Christmassy coach trips to Llandudno and other festive locations. We’re talking Christmas lunches, gifts from Santa, festive activities, and all of the mulled wine you could possibly need. 

2026 spring coach holidays

Let’s put Christmas aside for a moment and focus on the kinds of holidays you can look forward to as the season of frosty nights draws to a close. Get your year off to a good start with one of our refreshing 2026 spring coach holidays. 

Whether you’re looking for UK coastal breaks for 2026 or are looking to immerse yourself in the pastoral plains of the British countryside, take a look at our recommendations below.

Newquay: There’s no denying that Newquay is at its best when the sun comes out. With a stunning coastline, awe-inspiring cliff walks and a picture postcard harbour, it’s no wonder Newquay is Cornwall’s most popular holiday destination. On top of the joyous seaside atmosphere, our coaches to Newquay can even include a visit to the vibrant Eden Project—featuring striking plants from around the globe, perfect for springtime.

Kent: If springtime greenery is what you’re looking for, you’ll find it on our coach holidays to Kent. Coined as the ‘Garden of England’, Kent is famous for its beautifully kept green spots—or should we say purple spots, with what feels like endless lavender fields? With bustling beaches, historic walks, spectacular scenery, and plenty of vineyards to sample the UK’s most delectable wine, Kent is a gift from spring after a long winter.
