The Canary Islands


Just a hop from home, the Canary Islands are a winter winner. Think endless beaches, dramatic volcanic backdrops, and that blissfully mild climate that never seems to let you down. Whether you fancy soaking up the sun in Tenerife, exploring Lanzarote’s lunar landscapes, or strolling Gran Canaria’s golden dunes, this is where short-haul meets long-lasting sunshine.

Vietnam

 

Looking for something that’s a little bit ‘wow’? Vietnam sizzles with colour, flavour and charm from top to toe. Picture yourself drifting through emerald waters in Ha Long Bay, exploring lantern-lit streets in Hoi An, or tucking into sizzling street food in Ho Chi Minh City. It’s a feast for the senses – the smell of fresh lemongrass, the buzz of scooters, the sparkle of sunshine bouncing off rice paddies. It’s not just a place, it’s a feeling – and you’ll be right in the heart of it.

 

 


Egypt

 

Egypt does winter sun with a splash of ancient magic. Cruise the Nile, stand in the shadow of the mighty Pyramids, and feel the dry desert heat on your skin while the UK is wrapped up in scarves. It’s a land of pharaohs, temples and timeless stories – the kind of trip where you’ll go home with tales to tell and friends you shared them with.

 

 

The Caribbean

 

When we say ‘slice of paradise’, we’re picturing the Caribbean. Warm turquoise seas, soft white sands, and that laid-back vibe you can feel in your bones. Whether you’re sipping rum punch in St Lucia, dancing to reggae in the Dominican Republic, or simply watching the waves roll in, the Caribbean’s got solo travel written all over it. And yes – it’s as dreamy as it sounds.

 

 

Turkey

 

Turkey is where cultures collide and the sun always seems to stick around. In winter, you can still wander the spice-scented bazaars of Istanbul, soak in a traditional hammam, or explore the surreal landscapes without the crowds. There’s something pretty magical about strolling through the ancient ruins of Side, where Roman temples meet turquoise waters, and the sunsets put on a show you won’t forget. 

 

 
 
 

 Malta


Malta may be small, but it packs a punch when it comes to winter warmth. Mild temperatures, crystal-clear waters, and more history than you can shake a camera at. Lose yourself in the winding streets of Valletta, dive into the Blue Grotto, or simply kick back at a waterfront café with fellow Solos. Malta is friendly, easy to explore and wonderfully laid-back – just what you need when the UK’s in hibernation mode.

 
 
 


Cyprus 

 

With over 300 days of sunshine a year, Cyprus is a sure-fire hit for a winter escape. From its golden beaches to its charming mountain villages, Cyprus offers a brilliant blend of relaxation and adventure. Wander ancient ruins, feast on fresh halloumi, and soak up those toasty winter rays with people who are just as ready for a getaway as you are.
