Mexico

Mexico’s Caribbean Coast sees sweltering highs of 30°C in November, and it happens to be the start of the dry season, too. Cancun wears its party hat year-round, so it’s a great pick for a lively trip. Up for it? Take a look at the adults-only Riu Cancun, which puts you a 15-minute walk from Cancun’s main bars and clubs. If late nights aren’t your vibe, the TUI BLUE El Dorado Seaside Suites Resort should be on your radar. Here, you can relax on poolside Bali beds and find your inner zen with a trip to the spa’s Water Journey area – bliss.

Cyprus

This Mediterranean marvel is blessed with year-round sunshine and, in November, temperatures reach highs of 23°C. You’ve got a mix of small, sleepy regions like Nissi Beach where you can enjoy an away-from-it-all break, or bustling resorts like Paphos where there's plenty going on. Think wine tours, watersports, and ancient sites like the Tombs of the Kings. Plus, the flight time from London to Cyprus is around four hours, making the island a super convenient spot for a quick winter getaway. If you want to stay in a quiet hotel that’s near enough to the action, pick the Louis Phaethon Beach, which is located just outside Paphos, and has its own waterpark with a small beach nearby.

Cape Verde

Cape Verde is another holiday hotspot that basks in 365 days of sunshine a year. This archipelago of islands off the west coast of Africa boasts a Caribbean-style climate and offers a mix of cultural influences and cuisine from Africa, Brazil and Portugal. Sal and Boa Vista are the most popular islands for holidaymakers. Sal is a go-slow island that’s perfect for a switch-off-escape, where you’ll find white-sand coastlines and pastel-coloured towns like Santa Maria. Boa Vista, meanwhile, combines dreamy beaches with volcanic countryside, and you can get out and explore the scenery on a 4x4 trip.

Jamaica

With rum, reggae and adventures aplenty, Jamaica is the perfect place to swap cold temperatures and dreary winter weather for fun in the Caribbean sun. The mercury in November hovers around the 28°C mark – the perfect temperature for water babies who love to spend most of the holiday in the sea or pool. Head to Negril, on the west coast of Jamaica, to make the most of Seven Mile Beach. Or, pick Montego Bay as your base to tick off once-in-a-lifetime adventures like hiking up Dunn’s River Falls, visiting the home of Bob Marley, and riding a bobsled down a mountain. The Riu Montego Bay sits right on the beach here, and puts you in an ideal spot for exploring the area.

Dominican Republic

From its sugary sands to its balmy temps, the Dominican Republic’s got all the hallmarks of a classic Caribbean getaway. Not to mention, it throws rainforests, mountains and colonial towns into the ring. Hello, dreamy destination for a tropical winter getaway. November is the perfect time to visit because it’s still low season, meaning you can usually find great holiday deals. In fact, many holidaymakers consider November to be the best time to visit the Dominican Republic before the hubbub of December sets in. Pick Punta Canta, for example, and you’ve got 50 miles of white sands, a dozen golf courses and some superb scuba diving spots up for grabs. Or, head to La Romana for net-fresh seafood, merengue dancing and boat trips to nearby islands.
