Plus, we name-drop plenty of places where the big coat can stay firmly at home.

Is it worth going All Inclusive in winter?

There’s something extra satisfying about stepping off a plane into the sun when it’s cold back home. Go All Inclusive, and that sunny arrival comes with a few extra perks. Meals? Covered. Drinks? Sorted. Poolside snacks? Available on repeat. Plus, knowing more of your holiday spend upfront makes budgeting that bit easier – very welcome at a time of year when the bank balance is already working overtime.

Where's hot in winter?

The Canary Islands are a go-to for closer-to-home winter sun, with Tenerife bringing volcanic scenery with plenty going on, Lanzarote showing off its otherworldly landscapes and Gran Canaria lining up rolling dunes and golden beaches. For even warmer days, head further south to Egypt, where the Red Sea coast boasts beachfront hotels, sprawling pools and plenty of All Inclusive choice. Add sandy beaches and some seriously good snorkelling into the mix, and there’s lots to tempt you away from your sun lounger.

Which All Inclusive destinations are warmest in winter?

If you want winter to feel a lot more like summer, it’s worth setting your sights further afield. The Caribbean keeps the thermostat turned up, with Barbados bringing surf-ready shores and buzzy beach towns, while Jamaica serves up long sandy beaches, waterfalls and plenty of reggae spirit. Mexico’s Caribbean Coast is another top pick, where you can mix pool days and turquoise-water dips with trips to ancient Mayan sites and natural cenotes.

Where's the cheapest place to go for winter sun?

Stretch your winter sun budget further in Morocco’s Agadir, home to a long sandy beach, palm-lined promenade and plenty of All Inclusive hotels. Beyond the beach, you’ve got souks to browse and the Atlas Mountains within day-tripping distance. Tunisia’s another wallet-friendly contender, with the winter months often bringing lower prices than summer, and resorts like Hammamet pairing sandy beaches with whitewashed towns and hotels with plenty under one roof. For an even better shot at a bargain, stay flexible with your dates and steer clear of the Christmas and February half-term rushes.

Where can I go for an All Inclusive holiday at Christmas?

Christmas dinner hits differently with a beach waiting outside – especially in Cape Verde, where you can stretch out on sandy shores and slip into laidback island mode pronto. In The Gambia, tropical sun sets the scene for river adventures and days spent spotting wildlife. Long haul opens even more options, from the Dominican Republic’s Caribbean heat and palm-lined beaches to Thailand, where the drier season puts beach favourites like Phuket and Khao Lak firmly on the festive wish list. And you don’t have to leave all the Christmas traditions at home – plenty of All Inclusive hotels go big on the festivities, with themed entertainment, activities and dinners with all the trimmings.
