Winter Sun Holidays

Big-coat season. Soggy-sock season. Numb-fingers-and-sniffly-noses season. Whatever you want to call it, let's be honest - no one's getting excited about winter. Well, we've got good news for you. It's always sunny somewhere. And we all know a holiday's more fun when it's chucking it down back home. So what do you say? We're talking sandcastles over snow angels (any day), pool days over rainy days (obviously), and swimwear over knitwear (duh!). Trust us, where we're going, you won't see an umbrella in sight (well, except for on your cocktail maybe). Time to add some winter sun to the diary...

Our Top Tip!

It's important to travel comfortably when going on any holiday, but especially when you're travelling in winter. While it might be cold and rainy in the UK, remember that wherever you're heading, it'll most likely be sunny. Layering up with hoodies and blankets means you can stay toasty at the airport and during your flight, but once you're on the other side, you can easily whip them off while the heat smacks you in the face. You know that feeling.
