If the shorter days and chillier weather are getting you down, why not consider taking a winter break away somewhere with sunshine and warm seas.
A winter break might be just what you need to see you through until spring time and doing a spot of background research will help you to choose a destination where sunshine is pretty much guaranteed.
Depending on how long you want to spend travelling from Britain you could explore parts of Africa or travel further afield to Latin America and Asia.
If you don’t like the idea of spending too much time in the air you will be pleased to hear there are a few destinations that take only a few hours to reach from Britain. You could be scraping the ice from your windscreen in the morning and sipping a cocktail on a sun drenched beach by the afternoon.
Morocco is an ideal destination to visit for a spot of winter sunshine. A crossroads between Africa, Europe and the Middle East, Morocco has an accolade of wonderful cities as well as coastal hotspots.
Tunisia is another quick and easy to reach destination that can provide some much needed winter warmth. The sparkling water of the Mediterranean Sea frames Tunisia’s northern and eastern shores and the northern coast is ideal for anyone seeking a quiet retreat.
If you’re not averse to travelling slightly further afield you might consider Egypt or Oman, both of which can be reached within eight hours of departing the United Kingdom. Egypt takes about five hours to reach from London and the journey to Oman comes in at around seven hours.
From the pyramids to the minarets, and of course the Nile, the possibilities in Egypt are endless and your trip here can be as relaxing or adventure packed as you like. To the west, Egypt’s ocean of sand stretches infinitely to the Sahara. In contrast, the crystal clear waters of the Red Sea are awash with bright coral and make the perfect place for a spot of rest and recuperation.
Dubai is a popular holiday destination year round but if you fancy sampling old Arabia as well as soaking up some winter sunshine them Oman could be the perfect destination for you. With over 2,700km of beautiful, empty sandy beaches it is easy to see the appeal if sunshine is what you’re after.
There are also plenty of medieval towns to explore, so you can brush up your history knowledge and get a tan at the same time.
If the thought of a long distance flight doesn’t faze you then explore options in the Caribbean, South America and Asia. St Lucia is renowned as the prettiest and friendliest of the larger Caribbean islands. Goa in India is an ever popular choice whereas Cuba offers something a little different again.
No matter where you decide to travel, make sure you have a travel insurance policy in place and protect yourself against any hiccups along the way.
