British tourists have been engrossed in a love affair with Benidorm since the fifties, charmed by its sun, sea and a generous helping of home comforts. And while Benidorm will always hold a special place in the hearts of many Brits, there are numerous destinations that are giving it a run for its money.

According to dealchecker's latest data, destinations such as Tunisia and Portugal have enjoyed a 126% and 35% increase in holiday searches over the last year respectively, proving that an appetite for a sunny all-inclusive getaway remains high among Brits.

Travel expert, dealchecker, has listed the top seven resort destinations that will be popular, budget-friendly hotspots this summer.

Hammamet, Tunisia

As Tunisia's largest resort, Hammamet's sprawling white sandy beaches are one of its main attractions. Known as the “garden resort” with beautiful citrus trees and olive groves, visitors can enjoy the town's bustling medina before heading back to one of the many great value for money all-inclusive resorts.

Faliraki, Rhodes

Faliraki began life as a quiet fishing village, just like Benidorm, though it only became popular with British tourists in the 2000s. This family friendly destination is a quieter alternative to Benidorm; there's plenty of space to sunbathe on its blue flag awarded beach, while its clear blue seas are a popular snorkelling hotspot.

Playa de las Americas, Tenerife

As Tenerife's most popular resort, there's no shortage of activities for a fulfilled holiday. The beaches offer water sports, such as windsurfing and waterskiing, and Loro Parque zoo is often voted the best in Europe. For those wanting great nightlife, Las Verónicas is one of the best party strips in Europe, full of nightclubs, cabaret bars and live music venues.

Gumbet, Turkey

Gumbet appeals to both party-goers and those in search of a more relaxing escape. In mid-summer, holidaymakers can party on the beach itself, with cheap cocktails and open-air clubs.
