The trial scheme will enable customers to pay £22 to choose and book a specific sunbed before they’ve even left home.
They will even be able to check out the preferred location of the lounger from a map to determine whether it will be in the shade at certain points of the day or not.
The “Choose Your Favourite Sunbed” service is being trialled in three hotels in February, and only some sunbeds will be bookable.
Thomas Cook said the scheme would then become available in 30 hotels later this summer.
The travel giant claimed it was the first package holiday company to provide the service, following a trial scheme it introduced last year which enables customers to select their hotel room prior to the start of their trip.
Chris Mottershead, Thomas Cook’s UK managing director said the initiative was designed to particularly help "families that want to secure a number of beds together in a specific spot".
