The great summer dilemma: Beach or Peaks?

Sea and Sun: Timeless classics

For many people, it’s impossible to imagine a summer holiday without the sea. If you’re looking for where to go in summer for sunshine, the Mediterranean still reigns supreme.

  • French Riviera (Saint-Raphaël, Saint-Tropez): For glamour, coves and turquoise water.
  • Languedoc (Le Grau du Roi): For vast stretches of fine sandy beaches—perfect for building sandcastles with the kids.

The Mountains in Summer: the new “cool escape” trend

This has been the trend of recent years, and it’s gaining more and more followers. Looking for where to go to the mountains in summer? It’s the best choice to escape heatwaves—and to avoid crowded beaches.

The Alps (Savoie, Southern Alps): Where to go in the Alps in summer?

In La Plagne, Les Menuires or Isola 2000, ski resorts transform into green paradises.

Activities

Hiking, mountain biking, high-altitude lakes… It’s the perfect destination for active, refreshing family holidays.

Where to go this summer with the family (and keep your budget under control)?

Family summer holidays are sacred—but as often, they can quickly get expensive.

The “budget holiday” solution: All Inclusive in summer

Looking for where to go on holiday this summer on a budget in France? Don’t look for the lowest price—look for the lowest “total cost”. With SOWELL’s So’Inclusive package, everything is included: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks.

The math is simple: no restaurant bills at lunchtime and dinnertime, no ice creams or sodas to pay for at the bar. It’s the only way to guarantee an affordable summer holiday without cutting back once you’re there.

Traveling with a baby or teens: everyone at their own pace

  • Where to go on holiday this summer with a baby: Choose the mountains or Normandy to avoid extreme heat that can be dangerous for little ones. Our fully equipped apartments help you keep baby’s routine.
  • With children and teens: Go for clubs and “fun” destinations like Le Grau du Roi or lively resorts (Les 2 Alpes) so they never get bored.

Targeted destinations based on what you want

Where to go on holiday this summer as a couple or with friends?

  • As a couple: For a romantic stay, avoid the big family clubs in July–August. Choose a charming residence in Provence (Mallemort) or a cozy hotel facing Mont Blanc for peace and quiet.
  • With friends / younger travelers: Looking for where to go on holiday this summer with friends? You want it lively! Le Grau du Roi or Le Cap d’Agde are perfect spots to combine beach days with nightlife.
