Mexico’s sandy shores offer the perfect recipe for a sunny getaway in winter. The mercury on either of the coasts – you can pick from the Caribbean Coast or the Pacific Coast – hovers in the mid-20s to low-30s, so get ready for full days of sunshine. On the Caribbean side, the king of Mexico’s holiday scene is Cancun, where the region focuses on swish seafront resorts, bustling clubs and ancient Mayan ruins. Over on the Pacific Coast, meanwhile, Puerto Vallarta and its surrounding activity-filled jungles are the major draws.

Who said Spain’s Canary Islands are just for the summer holidays? We sure didn’t, that’s why we’ve added hundreds of new breaks to these balmy hotspots for winter 2025 and winter 2026. There's Tenerife, with its big-name resorts like Los Cristianos or Playa de las Americas, and Lanzarote and its lunar like landscapes. Plus, Gran Canaria adds sprawling sand dunes and sheltered coves to the offering, while Fuerteventura goes big on watersports scenes – this island alone has over 150 beaches in its collection.

You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to tropical holidays to Thailand. This south-east Asian country packs in plenty of big-name locations, including Bangkok, the capital city, and Phuket, an island off the southwest coast that’s known for its beach and nightlife scenes. If you’d prefer to head off the beaten track, plant yourself down in the Phi Phi Islands – they’re home to some of the country’s best-loved beaches. You’ll find them floating in the Andaman Sea, between Phuket and the mainland. Holidays here are all about spotting native macaques during a wildlife tour of Koh Phi Phi – the biggest island – feeling the sand between your toes on an uninhabited beach, and scuba diving around coral reefs.

Lapland, in Northern Finland, is widely regarded as the home of Christmas, thanks to its snow-dusted forest landscapes, cosy log cabins and hefty reindeer population. It’s also where Santa Claus hangs his hat, and the whole area transforms into a festive winter wonderland during the holiday season. During your visit, you can meet the big man himself, visit his workshop and explore bits of Lapland on a husky-pulled sled – plus much more. So, whether it’s a whistle-stop daytrip or a four-day retreat you're looking for, our Lapland winter line-up has something for every family to shout about.
