Last Minute Holiday Deals

Hi all
Me and my partner have both recently been given annual leave at the end of August for the week commencing Monday 20 August.
We would both love to go away just us two for that week.
We don't have kids so it would just be the two of us however as it is in August and it's school holidays time as you can imagine the prices are through the roof.
I'm interested to know if anybody on here would know of a good website or the best places to find cheap last-minute holidays.
We live within a 20 minute drive of Stansted so it would be great to depart from Stansted but completely understand as it's so last minute / late that might not be able to happen.
We are not fussed at all where we go as long as there is sun and we have a beach. We would prefer to go all inclusive however we are fine with half board or above.
I have been looking at both first choice and TUI last minute holiday section on their website. However they only seem to advertise last minute holidays within the next four weeks for departure.
Can anybody advise me on what is best to do in terms of either trying to find a cheap deal and book now or leave it late and try and find something last minute. Would I be likely to find something on TUI or first choices website if I left it to last minute. I look today at their last minute section and there are some really good deals for holidays departing within the next 7 to 14 days.
Any help much appreciated.

There are cheap flights to Malaga on Ryanair, book somewhere to stay at Fuengirola.

AI holidays are a bit sad IMHO it's so nice to try local restaurants.0

I agree, look at where you can get a flight to then book some accommodation.0
