Hundreds of four- and five-star Novasol properties across Croatia, France, Italy, Spain and the Balearics will be made available via Jet2Villas.

Awaze said the initial range is expected to grow over time, "with the opportunity to add more properties and destinations as the partnership develops".

John Davis, Jet2's Director of Product and Retail, said: "The addition of 1,000 new properties across some of the Mediterranean’s most popular destinations represents a significant enhancement to our existing villa programme, giving customers even greater choice and flexibility when planning their holidays.

"We look forward to working closely with Awaze to continue expanding the range of Jet2Villas."

Matthew Price, Awaze Chief Executive, added: "The appeal of package holidays is stronger than ever. With cost-of-living pressures and wider global uncertainty, people are looking not only for an amazing holiday experience, but also peace of mind, certainty over costs and more choice in how they travel.

"Our partnership with Jet2 delivers all of that, and we’re delighted to partner with the UK’s largest tour operator to bring our properties to even more people."
