ALDI reveals the secret to affordable getaways with its surprising announcement

ALDI, the beloved supermarket chain known for its budget-friendly prices and unique Special Buys, has now ventured into new territory that's sure to excite travel enthusiasts across Australia.

With the launch of ALDI Holidays, the retailer offers a range of travel packages that promise to whisk Australians away on dream vacations without breaking the bank.



The deals, which began dropping on 2 October, have already captured the attention of savvy shoppers looking for their next adventure.

The ALDI Holidays online portal, a collaboration with Ignite Travel Group, is a game-changer in the travel industry.

According to the announcement, shoppers can ‘plan their next holiday with a suite of exclusive ALDI escapes, cruises and tour deals’.

Starting at just $449 per person, these packages include sought-after destinations such as Surfers Paradise, The Whitsundays, Fiji, Thailand, Hawaii, and more.

For those with a penchant for the high seas, there are cruises around the Pacific Islands or Japan, and for the land lovers, adventures to South Africa, Europe, or China await.

One standout offer at launch is the package to the four-star Daydream Island Resort. Priced from $899 per person, this deal includes five nights at the resort, daily breakfast, return flights, return ferry transfers, and a welcoming bottle of wine upon arrival.

Valued at $1,700 per person, this deal exemplifies the kind of value ALDI Holidays aims to deliver.
