Winter Sun Holidays

Explore

If, like us, you've had enough of the rain after another washout summer, why not escape the cold and gloom of the UK with a winter sun holiday.

Don't spend the winter dodging the rain, layering up to pop down to the shop and fighting the wind just to put your brolly up. Make like the birds and fly south to warmer climates. Not only will you top up your tan, you'll get to see some of the world's most beautiful destinations and be the envy of all your friends.

You could escape to the wonders of South Africa and spot all kinds of wildlife in their natural habitat – look, a monkey! – lounge by the pool and soak in the glorious sun and visit the battlefields of the Zulu Wars and experience a defining moment in history. Or wander through the labyrinth of alleyways in Morocco in search of intricate leatherware, jewellery and furniture (the perfect belated Christmas gifts!) - to name just a few. Go ahead, start planning your escape...   

Perhaps you’ll explore the vibrancy of India. Go on a guided tour through New Delhi, a city reflecting the Raj legacy, and be astounded by the architecture of the city. Don't forget your cameras as we pinpoint the ancient Qutub Minaret, the tallest stone tower in India (construction began in 1199) and, of course, we couldn’t leave without visiting one of the seven wonders of the world, the brilliant Taj Mahal – there are plenty of angles to articulate its beauty. 

An expert Tour Manager will be on hand to guide you on your journey. Come across some of the world’s most mesmerizing landmarks or draw your own path and take an independent route.

Go ahead, start planning your escape...
