White-sand beaches in Mauritius, a private peninsula in Crete and Bath’s mineral-rich thermal waters feature in this year’s Black Friday travel offers. Alongside the island escapes are restored London townhouses, spacious Turkish villas and Mediterranean cruises for late 2027.

BAYOU and OUTRIGGER have already opened their sales, while most of the offers below begin later in November. This selection focuses on distinctive settings, thoughtful accommodation and experiences worth travelling for, with booking windows and eligible dates alongside each offer.

1. Beachcomber, Mauritius: 30% off winter-sun stays

Beachcomber is offering 30% off all room categories at five participating Mauritius resorts: Trou aux Biches, Shandrani, Victoria, Canonnier and Mauricia. The travel window falls between January and March 2027, making this one of the most directly useful offers for a winter-sun holiday.

Trou aux Biches occupies a 35-hectare tropical garden beside a lagoon and nearly two kilometres of beach. Beachfront pool suites suit couples, while two- and three-bedroom villas provide more space for families. Six restaurants and separate children’s and teens’ clubs broaden its appeal for a longer stay.

Shandrani sits on a southern peninsula beside Blue Bay Marine Park, with three beaches. Victoria’s adults-only Victoria for 2 area includes sea-facing and swim-up rooms, a dedicated restaurant and an 800-square-metre pool. All-inclusive arrangements at these resorts are optional, so compare meal plans alongside the room saving.

Book: 26 November to 2 December 2026. Stay: 9 January to 19 March 2027.

2. Pangkor Laut and Gaya Island, Malaysia: 20% off island packages

YTL Hotels Malaysia is temporarily opening its Residents’ Package to international guests at Pangkor Laut Resort and Gaya Island Resort. The three-day, two-night packages include breakfast, lunch, dinner and return speedboat transfers, with a 20% saving and prices starting from £260 per night. Gaya Island also includes a complimentary 50-minute massage for two.

Pangkor Laut combines rainforest and beaches with sea and spa villas over water. Access involves a road transfer to Marina Island Pangkor Jetty followed by a 15-minute speedboat journey; the resort estimates roughly three hours by road from central Kuala Lumpur.

Gaya Island Resort overlooks Malohom Bay within Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, with protected mangroves, coral reefs and Mount Kinabalu on the horizon. Its transfer is shorter: the operator estimates 20 minutes by road from Kota Kinabalu airport, then ten minutes by boat.

Book: 11 to 20 November 2026. Stay: 11 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. Blackout dates apply.

3. OUTRIGGER: up to 45% off beachfront escapes

OUTRIGGER is advertising savings of up to 45% across its portfolio in Hawaii, Fiji, Thailand, the Maldives and Mauritius. The collection offers several distinct island experiences, including overwater accommodation in the Maldives, Hawaiian cultural programming and coral restoration at Castaway Island in Fiji.

OUTRIGGER Phi Phi Island Resort adds a secluded Thai option. Its 63 suites and villas on Laem Tong Beach are reached only by boat, a useful distinction for travellers who want their beach stay to feel removed from road traffic and larger resort centres.

The brand’s emphasis on locally sourced dining, live music, cultural experiences and ocean adventures gives the sale more interest than the headline percentage alone. Choose the destination and resort first, then compare the qualifying rooms and dates.

Book: 2 November to 8 December 2026, using code CYBER26. Savings depend on the selected property, accommodation category and dates of travel; blackout dates and other restrictions may apply.

4. Bluegr, Crete: three different stays, up to 30% off

Bluegr’s Cretan sale gives three neighbouring but distinct holidays different discounts: 30% at Candia Park Village, 25% at Minos Palace Resort and 20% at Minos Beach Art Hotel, all for 2027 stays.

Candia Park Village’s family apartments have kitchenettes, with pools, a beach and a children’s club for ages four to 12. It’s the practical choice for families wanting private living space alongside resort facilities.

Minos Palace occupies a private peninsula with 360-degree sea views and an adults-only atmosphere. Its Nao Longevity Hub includes eight treatment rooms, an infrared sauna, hot and cold plunges and a Vitality Pool, making wellness central to the stay.

Minos Beach Art Hotel pairs waterfront bungalows and villas with two sandy beaches. A sculpture collection of more than 55 installations and farm-to-table dining give it a particularly strong appeal for travellers interested in art and food.

Book: 23 to 30 November 2026. Stay: During 2027.

5. Mangia’s, Sicily and Sardinia: 35% off five-star resorts

Mangia’s is offering 35% off its five-star properties across Sicily and Sardinia for the 2027 season. The sale includes two recent Sicilian openings: the all-inclusive Costa Ragusa Borgo, which opened on 1 July 2026, and Icona’s Costa Ragusa Resort, which followed on 1 August.

Costa Ragusa Borgo is organised around open squares, stone paths and communal outdoor spaces on Sicily’s southeast coast. Its all-inclusive dining combines Mediterra’s buffet with selected menus at venues including Pizzeria Al Grano and Scausu Grill. A Longevity Suite spa adds a wellness element to the seafront setting.

The package covers meals, scheduled snacks and selected drinks. À-la-carte dining requires reservations and is subject to availability, while room service, minibar and tourist tax are excluded.

Book: 17 November to 2 December 2026. Stay: Throughout the 2027 season.

6. Zafiro, Mallorca and Menorca: up to 40% off

Zafiro’s sale covers all 14 of its Mallorca and Menorca properties, with savings of up to 40% throughout the 2027 season. The group says there are no blackout dates, although the discount varies by travel period.

The collection stretches beyond large coastal resorts. Son Sabater by Zafiro is a restored estate among holm oaks and carob trees near the Serra de Tramuntana. Can Ribera by Zafiro occupies the owners’ childhood home in Muro. Both are worth considering for an inland stay with a more intimate scale.

The Black Zafiro rate requires full prepayment and is non-refundable. Eligible room types and minimum stays vary by hotel and date, so this offer is best suited to travellers whose plans are settled.

Book: 20 November to 1 December 2026. Stay: During the 2027 season.

7. BAYOU, Türkiye: 5% off private-villa reservations

BAYOU’s 5% saving is smaller than most in this selection, but its accommodation offers substantial private space alongside access to Barut’s wider resort facilities.

BAYOU

At BAYOU Lara in Antalya, 24 villas occupy a 25,000-square-metre site. One- to four-bedroom villas range from 250 to 1,000 square metres, each with a garden and fresh- and saltwater pools. That makes this a particularly relevant option for families or groups travelling together.

Guests have a villa-exclusive restaurant and lounge, plus access to Lara Barut Collection’s dining, gardens and activities through its ultra-all-inclusive arrangements. The appeal is the combination of private accommodation and a broader choice of dining, wellness and leisure facilities.

Book: Barut Hotels Group’s Black Friday saving applies to BAYOU reservations made between 29 October and 10 December 2026. Compare the qualifying rate for your intended stay dates.

8. The Academy and The Gainsborough: 30% off London and Bath

YTL Hotels UK is offering 30% off two contrasting city stays. The Academy is the London choice for literary atmosphere; The Gainsborough Bath Spa centres the holiday on thermal-water bathing.

The Academy brings together five Georgian townhouses in Bloomsbury, with 50 bedrooms and suites. Interiors reference the Bloomsbury Set, while dark velvet sofas in the Lounge, Library and Bar provide an intimate setting for a book, cocktail or afternoon tea.

The Gainsborough’s Spa Village uses Bath’s natural, mineral-rich thermal waters beneath a sunlit, Roman-inspired atrium. Omorovicza rituals range from Hungarian mud treatments to thermal wave massages. Its custom-furnished accommodation and seasonal brasserie dining make it a rounded choice for a spa-led city break.

Book: 17 November to 3 December 2026. Stay: 17 November 2026 to 31 March 2027.

9. Town Hall Hotel, London: 30% off the best available rate

Its rooms include Marshall speakers, Soapsmith toiletries and filtered water, with round-the-clock gym access. The top-floor corner suite averages 55 square metres, while interconnecting accommodation gives families or friends another option.

Pan-Asian restaurant UBA adds a distinctive dining setting, with red velvet banquettes and lava-stone tables in a red-and-gold interior. This is the East London option for travellers prioritising neighbourhood markets, contemporary design and dining.

Late-2027 Mediterranean travel is particularly interesting. The line’s first full winter Mediterranean programme begins in November 2027 aboard Oceania Allura. One example, Warm Winter Wonderland, departs Athens on 8 December for a 12-day voyage to Barcelona, travelling via Cyprus, Greece, Turkey, Malta, Sicily, Sardinia and the Balearics.

That itinerary offers a specific alternative to a summer Mediterranean cruise, while the wider sale also includes Northern Europe, Alaska, the Caribbean and Asia. Compare itineraries and time in port alongside the fare reduction.

Book: 18 November to 1 December 2026, inclusive. Travel: On 2027 voyages.

12. Hastings Hotels, Northern Ireland: 10% off vouchers

Hastings Hotels’ voucher offers suit travellers buying a future experience rather than choosing holiday dates now. The group’s six hotels include Culloden Estate & Spa, Grand Central, Europa and Ballygally Castle.

Options range from restorative spa treatments at Culloden to cocktails in Grand Central’s Observatory, afternoon tea at Europa or a castle stay at Ballygally. Hastings is offering 10% off experience vouchers worth £100 or more, with no expiry date.

A separate 10% saving on monetary vouchers runs throughout November. The two offers have different purchase windows, so choose between a named experience and a monetary gift before buying.

Buy experience vouchers: 27 November to 4 December 2026. Buy monetary vouchers: 1 to 30 November 2026.
