It's time to blow off some steam with a much needed break, so grab your closest group of uni mates and head for sunnier climates. It's just what you need- a week or two of unfettered fun after the stress of finals. And this might be your last chance  to enjoy time together – who knows where you’ll all be next year?

Pooling resources is a no-brainer; you’ll get much more for your money. If you get a group of friends together, you could be spending as little as £80 a week each on your accommodation. Make sure you take advantage of cheaper flight prices before the schools break up for the summer holidays.

But where to go? Check out these properties we’ve hand-picked for the perfect post-uni holiday. All of these properties sleep at least 14; all of them are reasonably close to an airport and near enough to local amenities, so you won’t need to hire cars, and they all have weeks ready to be booked in June / July this year.
