New Routes, New Retreats

Four fresh easyJet destinations from Glasgow, four smart stays worth knowing about

It is getting cold and with Christmas on the way thoughts naturally start drifting to warmer climes. easyJet is opening up Lisbon, Pisa, Sharm El Sheikh and Malta for summer 2026. Here is where to check in if you want places that feel considered, comfortable and well designed.

Lisbon

The Lumiares Hotel & Spa

Bairro Alto suits city breakers who want restaurants and galleries within minutes but still appreciate a calm base. The Lumiares delivers. Suites are generous, the design is clean and the rooftop works for a first or last night drink.

Tuscany

Grand Universe Lucca, Autograph Collection

Pisa’s hotel scene leans basic, so Lucca is the smarter move. It is 25 to 30 minutes from the airport and gives you a genuinely elegant stay. The hotel sits just inside the city walls with contemporary Italian interiors and an easy rhythm that works for a short break.

Sharm El Sheikh

Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh

If you are heading for sun and quiet this is the one that consistently performs. Thoughtful service, well kept grounds and a calmer atmosphere than many Red Sea resorts. A solid, grown up option for a guaranteed warm weather hit.

Malta

Cugó Gran Macina Malta

Industrial stone, huge ceilings and a pared back aesthetic give this converted fortress real character. It is an easy base for exploring the harbour area and works especially well for couples or friends travelling together.
