Holidaymakers who are contemplating an impromptu trip abroad this Christmas or New Year, can take advantage of discounted last-minute holiday offers from Latedeals.co.uk.

Prices for selected Christmas and December escapes as well as New Year and January winter sun getaways have been slashed by as much as 50 per cent, or more in some cases, with Latedeals.co.uk offering a further £25 off any of its already heavily discounted holidays.

Here’s a roundup of the latest deals on offer:

Malta

Save an impressive 54 per cent on a seven-night self-catering break to Malta, staying at the Sunseeker Studios in Bugibba. The deal costs just £145 per person and flights depart from Gatwick on December 18 (back Christmas Eve).

Cyprus

The price of a 10-night stay at the grade 4 Hotel Atlantica, Golden Beach, Paphos, Cyprus has been discounted by 53 per cent, at just £382 per person. Flights leave Gatwick on December 16.

Turkey

Stay at the impressive grade 5 Paloma Renaissance Kemer in Turkey for only £283 per person, 35 per cent off the original, all-inclusive price. Flights depart from Manchester on January 4 2013.

Cape Verde

Save 33 per cent on the original price of a seven-night all-inclusive stay at the grade 4 Royal Decameron, Boa Vista. Flights depart from Gatwick on January 15.

Latedeals.co.uk has seen an approximate 40 per cent increase year-on-year on holiday bookings to long-haul travel destinations, compared to a short-haul trend last year.

Calum Macdonald at Latedeals.co.uk said: “This year’s trend towards long versus short haul is down to two key factors – the amazing deals on new long-haul destinations like Cape Verde and guaranteed sunshine.

“More people want assured sunshine and at these locations you’re promised that. The figures are not surprising as people are now looking for more accessible and better value holidays and with us, they are getting more for their hard earned money.”
