If you’re fed up of the cold, winter days and freezing temperatures and are dreaming of getting away to somewhere warm, then there’s a holiday destination out there that could be the place of your dreams. Here are four fantastic winter sun holiday destinations that are guaranteed to warm you up, in a variety of ways!

1. Tropical Winter Sun in The Maldives

If escaping to a tropical paradise is your perfect winter sun dream, then the Maldives, in the Indian Ocean, are full of tropical charm. These lovely islands benefit from perfect white sandy beaches, warm turquoise blue seas and shady palm trees. The temperature during the winter months remains is at least 28C.

2. Family Winter Sun in Florida

For a great beach life, and the wonderful Orlando theme parks, Florida is an ideal winter sun destination for families. The area is well equipped for tourists and there are plenty of museums and attractions to see, as well as spend time relaxing on the beach. Temperatures range from 16C to 30C, between December and May.

3. Budget-Friendly Winter Sun in The Canary Islands

A long-term favourite amongst winter sun fans, the Canary Islands are an archipelago of islands located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Spain. There are five main holiday islands amongst them, namely La Palma, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura.

For a lively holiday in the sun, choose Tenerife, the largest island, or Gran Canaria. If you’d prefer something a bit calmer, with less nightlife and great facilities for families, then Fuerteventura, with its huge beach, is perfect for winter sun escapes. Winter temperatures in the Canary Islands are usually about 25C.

4. Party Time Winter Sun in Rio de Janerio

Rio de Janeiro, the second largest city in Brazil, is renowned as being a party city! If you’re fed up with dull and dreary days at home, then head to Rio de Janeiro for an exciting and lively winter break.

Temperatures from December to March range from a balmy 25C to a raging 40C, and if you head there in February, you could catch the crowds at the Mardi Gras carnival.
