Islanders are going crazy looking for bargains in southern Gran Canaria. But there's a new trick up its sleeve that tourism giant TUI is using to compete in the realm of reasonable prices. TUI has launched Sundeals for the UK market, an independent digital platform specifically designed to attract travelers seeking affordable deals without intermediaries. This new brand markets combined flight and hotel packages using both the group's own resources and the services of independent low-cost airlines, offering starting fares equivalent to around €370 per person for destinations in the Canary Islands. Is it worth it? Absolutely.
The new platform opens the door to flying to the Canary Islands from the United Kingdom while keeping costs to a minimum.When searching for options departing from British airports such as Edinburgh for early September, seven-night room-only packages in the south of Gran Canaria show highly competitive prices translated directly into euros, starting from 290 euros per traveler (580 euros total for two people) at the LIVVO Puerto Bello Apartments in Puerto Rico.

Sundeals completely bypasses physical travel agencies and focuses its attention on digital users, implementing a customer service based entirely on live chat and maintaining the corresponding legal protections in its all-inclusive flight packages.
