As the nights draw in and the winter coats come out, your next summer holiday may feel like a lifetime away. But hold on, there’s no need to wait until next year for your sunshine fix - warm winter destinations await!
From diving down under and embracing the free-spirit of Australia, to kicking back in the sunshine state of Florida. Our travel experts have rounded up some of the hottest escapes (and we’re not just talking about temperature) you could be jetting off to this winter.
Starting off strong with a sun kissed country loved by many - take a trip down under this winter for an unforgettable adventure. From cosmopolitan cities to stunning beaches, catch the waves like a true Aussie and embrace the free-spirit of Australia.
Glide down Sydney Harbour and take in the iconic views of the Opera House - full of creativity and culture, this sunny city is a haven for nature, art galleries, and world-class eateries. Head over to the capital city Melbourne for its booming nightlife, or maybe you want to be at one with nature in Cairns. Close to The Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforest, there's so many breathtaking wonders to experience.
Slightly less far away are the beautiful Canary Islands, where intriguing volcanic landscapes and sub-tropical forests are waiting to be explored. Nicknamed a “miniature continent” due to the rich landscapes of the archipelago, one of its unique Spanish islands is Gran Canaria. And with delightfully mild temperatures all year round, you’re guaranteed to be captivated by its vast sandy beaches, enchanting canyons and lush nature reserves.
The largest island is Tenerife where destinations on the southern coast tend to be slightly warmer than the north. Costa Adeje down to Los Cristianos are popular with sun seekers. Wherever you find yourself, this island has something for everyone - a great range of activities, delicious seafood restaurants, as well as historic UNESCO World Heritage sites.
If you’re ready to soak up some sun, these Middle Eastern destinations will definitely do the trick. With year-round sunshine, Dubai is a firm favourite among many travellers - from relaxing beach days, to endless adventure, there’s not many places you can zipline between iconic skyscrapers after all.
Tradition meets modernity in Abu Dhabi and Bahrain. Both are steeped in ancient history, yet are home to some of the most glamorous restaurants worldwide - these are bucket list holidays for sure. Make sure to visit the majestic waters of the Dead Sea with a trip to Amman where you can enjoy the therapeutic qualities of its mineral rich waters.
America is always such an exciting place to visit, with the magical Florida being no exception! Beat the extreme heat by visiting in the winter months - the sunshine state is best known for its stunning beaches, exhilarating amusement parks, and unique wildlife.
With attractions like Walt Disney World, the Kennedy Space Centre, and Universal Orlando Resort, you’ll be spoilt for choice on where to go first. Prefer to take it easy? No matter where you are in Florida, you’re never far from a beach. From the white sands of Miami Beach, to the peaceful waters of the Gulf Coast, sit back, relax, and take in the gorgeous views.
With temperatures still in the mid to late 20s, you’ll be more comfortable exploring the sights over the winter months compared to during the peak summer heat. Where modernity meets ancient charm, Casablanca is a Moroccan port city boasting the best of both worlds - a bustling cosmopolitan hub with beautiful sandy beaches.
You’ll find delicious culinary delights, thrill-seeking activities, and unique architecture everywhere you look. Don’t miss out on the breathtaking Hassan II Mosque - the largest mosque on the continent showcasing the finest Moroccan artisanship through its unique design.
