After the Christmas festivities are over, your loved ones have travelled home and you have indulged in plenty of food and Christmas parties, why not book a well-earned winter holiday? This is the perfect time to get away from it all and take some time to do what you really enjoy – whether that is reclining on the beach, trying a new activity, or simply appreciating the local culture. From history and heritage to snow on the slopes, uncover a world of possibilities.
With renowned flight deals publisher CheapFlights.co.uk, prices are always reasonable, but the savings on offer during winter truly have to be seen to be believed. With over 14 years invaluable experience in their field, the CheapFlights team take up much of the hard work on your behalf, ensuring the very best deals and packages are organised in an order which is both informative and easy to use.
Once you've made the decision to get away, the next step, of course, is to decide exactly where to go. The options are virtually limitless and there's a holiday available to suit all tastes and desires. From relaxing on the beach to action-packed adventures, there's something for everyone.
For the perfect mix of relaxing days and vibrantly exciting nights, you simply can't go wrong with a trip to Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt. The winter months run from October to March and are pleasantly warm, though you may wish to take a few extra layers for when the sun goes down. The rainfall is so minimal it is essentially non-existent and the weather, particularly on the coast, is consistently appealing all year round.
The main attraction is the idyllic Red Sea; scuba diving along this stunning region’s coastline is an unmissable and breathtaking adventure offering some of the most spectacular underwater sights in the world. Onshore, bustling local markets, a mouth-watering variety of restaurants and more than a few temptingly lively bars are sure to entertain.
A guarantee of substantial supplies of Vitamin D also comes with a trip to the Algarve in Portugal. Though the odd bit of rain is to be expected, particularly during January and February, it will fall in short and sharp bursts before disappearing as though it was never there. These tiny flashes aside, the weather is a delight and often even hot enough for summer style sunbathing.
Another region with a stunning underwater world to explore, snorkelling in the dramatic lagoons is just one way of enjoying an Algarve holiday, while playing a round on one of the world-famous golf courses is another.
If an abundance of snow and adventure is more your thing, why not head for Soll in Austria? A popular resort that is perfect for skiers of both beginner and intermediate ability, it's an ideal place for families. As a significant part of Ski Welt, the largest ski region in all of Austria, Soll offers gentle slopes mixed with stunningly picturesque scenery. Fly to Salzburg then head on to Soll and hit the slopes.
Most winter holidays, however, are about chasing that all important sun and, with numerous flights to Lanzarote on offer, this particular Canary Island stands out as a better option than most. Decent weather comes as standard, as do a variety of activities, from watersports adventures to camel rides and exploring the volcanic landscape.
Climbing aboard a flight and feeling the sun on your back is the perfect way to start the New Year. Let CheapFlights shoulder the burden and find you the perfect destination for a well-earned break.
