Black Friday isn’t just about snagging a cheaper room; it’s the perfect excuse to plan the most adventurous version of your next vacation. With discounts of up to 55% on selected hotels and resorts worldwide, you can finally book those activities you usually leave “for next time”.
Black Friday is the opportunity to get your new adventure
Booking your favorite hotel is cheaper than ever, thanks to the Black Friday hotel deals of this year. Brands like Barceló Hotels are running offers of up to 40% off in top destinations for adventurous people like Aruba, the Canary Islands, or Morocco, among many others. Furthermore, travelers can add an extra 15% off with the code 25BF15, for up to 55% off on selected stays.
Reefs, waves, and water parks
If you’re the kind of traveler who packs fins before flip-flops can use the Black Friday season to lock in stays where the sea is nearby. In Cancún, for example, there are resorts such as Occidental Tucancún that sit right on the Caribbean, giving quick access to snorkeling boat trips, catamaran cruises to Isla Mujeres, or even introductory scuba dives on the nearby reefs.
Further South in the Riviera Maya, Playa del Carmen and Xcaret put cenotes, underground rivers, and eco-parks within easy reach. A resort such as Occidental at Xcaret Destination – All Inclusive lets you split your days between snorkeling in inlets, swimming in natural pools, and exploring the archaeological park right next door.
Volcanoes, dunes, and jungle trails
If you are more interested in raw nature, Black Friday also has things for you. Tenerife is well known for its beaches as well, but it has different adventures for hiking lovers. If you stay at Barceló Tenerife near the San Blas nature reserve, you can start your day with a sunrise walk along coastal paths, and then reserve a guided excursion up to Teide National Park, where lava fields and volcanic viewpoints make it feel like another planet.
Desert landscapes are another possibility, and the city-plus-adventure gateways in Morocco or the UAE are perfect for it. From a hotel in Marrakech or Dubai, you can book quad-biking over dunes, camel rides at sunset, or stargazing in the desert night.
Coming back to the Atlantic, Costa Rica is a playground for zip-line lovers and wildlife spotters. Beachfront properties like Occidental Tamarindo combine surf-friendly waves with easy access to national parks and mangrove tours. Meanwhile, Barceló Tambor – All Inclusive near Tambor Beach serves as a base for boat trips to Tortuga Island or horseback rides along the coast. Thanks to Black Friday discounts, you can reserve a part of your budget free for canopy tours, river rafting, or guided night walks in the forest.
Wellness, gastronomy, and eco-experiences
Yes, putting on a helmet and a harness and throwing yourself into the jungle can be interesting. However, there are other adventurous experiences that don’t need any of those. Connecting with raw nature, trying local food, or simply watching the sun go down somewhere unforgettable can bring the same feelings… without risking anything, right?
In the Caribbean, a resort like Barceló Bávaro Palace – All Inclusive or adults-only Barceló Bávaro Beach lets you shift into a slower gear: sunrise walks on Bávaro Beach, stand-up paddleboarding in turquoise water, then an afternoon massage at the spa before dinner in an à la carte restaurant.
If you’re more of a city-and-culture explorer, properties such as Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, or centrally located hotels in Seville, Málaga, or Rome give you an elegant base between museum visits, food tours, and neighborhood walks. With the savings from Black Friday, you can justify booking that tapas crawl, wine tasting, or private walking tour you usually skip.
Finally, don’t forget eco-focused experiences: turtle-nesting outings in Costa Rica or Mexico (in season), whale-watching in certain coastal destinations, or guided hikes through protected reserves in the Canary Islands. Booking your hotel during Black Friday 2025 means your stay is sorted early, your rate is locked in with up to 55% off, and you can spend the months before your trip doing the fun part: choosing which adventures you’ll say yes to this time.
