Planning a group trip for 2026? Whether you’re organising a long-overdue family reunion, a milestone birthday, a friends’ getaway or a company off-site, the demand for high-quality group accommodation is only heading one way – up.
For 2026, the best group stays are all about space, flexibility and shared experiences. Think large holiday houses with generous communal areas, well-equipped kitchens built for cooking together, outdoor spaces designed for long summer evenings, and layouts that allow groups to come together – or split off – when they need to. From big countryside houses and coastal retreats to collections of cottages that work perfectly for multi-generation groups, there’s a great choice of properties set up specifically with groups in mind.

If you’re planning ahead for 2026, now’s the time to get inspired – and secure a group stay that everyone will be talking about long after the bags are unpacked.
