Where to go for all-inclusive winter sun holidays
Montego Bay
The Caribbean is the home of all-amazing, all-inclusive luxury. With six restaurants, four bars, a mini water park and a packed entertainment schedule, the Hilton Rose Hall Resort & Spa in Montego Bay, Jamaica delivers it brilliantly.
Phuket
For all-inclusive winter sun in Thailand, try the five-star Pullman Phuket Panwa Beach Resort. It puts you bang on the beach in pretty Phuket, is surrounded by bars and buffets, and has a sauna, salon and Turkish bath for good measure.
Lagos
For a winter all-inclusive break without a long flight, the beautiful town of Lagos in the Algarve is the answer. The Vila Gale Lagos is as pleasing to the eye as it is on the purse. Step outside and you’re as close to cobbled streets as you are to the sweeping seafront.

A world of winter sun awaits right here on your doorstep. If you don’t fancy a far-flung flight, compare cheap holidays and all-inclusive packages to these wonderfully warm destinations.
Benidorm: 16°C
Best months to visit: January, February, March
Once a sleepy fishing village, these days Benidorm is less maritime and more party time. Restaurants, bars, clubs and cabaret line the streets and shores of Costa Blanca's famous holiday hub.
Levante Beach is the place to be for watersports fans. Strap in for paragliding, water-skiing, windsurfing and more. Or just grab a drink and watch the world unfold from its 2km (1.2 miles) of sandy shore.
Lanzarote: 21°C
Best months to visit: December, January, February
The Canary Islands may bring to mind cheap summer holidays, but there's plenty going on here under the winter sun, too. Head for Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote, to pick up a souvenir at its handicraft market and stop off for a plate of papas arrugadas in a traditional restaurant.
When you’re ready for evening entertainment, check out Jameos del Agua. This dramatic seawater lagoon surrounded by volcanic rock is one of the most unique concert halls around.
Gibraltar: 17°C
Best months to visit: December, February, March
While you’re basically still in Blighty on a Gibraltar holiday, with winter weather this warm, you’d never have guessed.
Africa may be a way across the waves, but at Sandy Bay, you can sit on the sands of the Sahara (50,000 tonnes of it was imported from the desert!). And no visit to Gibraltar is complete without a quick hello to the Rock’s most famous residents, the barbary macaques.
Algarve: 17°C
Best months to visit: January, February, March
The Algarve is a classic winter sun destination – and it’s just under three hours from London. If the first thing on your packing list is your walking boots, then take to the trails for meandering mountains and clifftop coastal routes.
For something a little less heart-racing, Estudantes Beach near Lagos is nothing but sand, sea and serenity. Whatever you do, break up each day with a tasty seafood cataplana – it’s the region’s specialty.
