Where's Lively and Warm in October?

3 late 20's singles looking for a holiday which matches the following criteria:-

Cheap.
Still Warm.
Not the Canaries (been there many times before).
Lively (but not Magaluf like craziness).
High ratio of women to men.
Not too many families/screaming kids.

Any suggestions/specific resorts would be welcome. :)

    When in october, if you mean in the first 2 weeks most place are still warm if you mean the last 2 weeks it would have to be canaries, egypt or caribbean.
    The end of the summer season is the end of october so many places could be winding down.
    How much is cheap?
    Give us a bit more info and you'll get decent suggestions.

    Turkey is still warm mid-late October, sometimes as high as mid-thirties.

    Fly into Dalaman airport and go to either Marmaris (not for me, but ideal for what you are looking for).

    If it is the beginning of October then again fly into Dalaman and choose Hisaronu/Ovacik area. Can recommend hotels, Clubs, etc as my son is returning today after 5 weeks and he spends the same period of time each year there.

  • Marmaris is probably favorite at the moment - only problem is flight time and transfers = 6+ hours travelling.

    Why is the accommodation so cheap if you are booking without flights just out of interest? I mean silly cheap like £5-10 each for 7 nights! So virtually nothing! I understand the budget airlines don't go there are as it's a more a package holiday resort so I guess they don't get many bookings of this type but was still surprised to see rooms this cheap. I guess they must harass you for extra's to make their money?

    Any other places apart from Turkey? - Cheaper, less flight time?
  • The only one i can think of is Benidorm
    Open all year round ,possibly still warm in October
    And cheap as chips
    Have a nice day :)

    lively, warm & cheap in october, sounds like sunny beach in bulgaria to me.
    Corduroy pillows are making headlines! Back home in London now after 27years wait! Duvet know it's Christmas, not original, it's a cover.
  • Sunny Beach is in wind-down that time of year, plus limited flights. As for Benidorm, I wouldn't go there if you paid me. Any other places other than Cyprus (very pricey) Turkey?

    Cheap hot and close don't all go in the Same hat in October, you are going to have to ease your requirements on at least one of those ideas.

    Anywhere near the Nursing college in Nottingham might full fill that one, but none of your other requirements.
