The winter months are dull, grey and unpleasant. It’s nice to get some sun and have a break away from all of the gloominess of the UK during winter. There are some great destinations that are a reasonable distance away and will be easy for you to reach by plane. Here are some of the top ones to consider:

• Malta. With a mild climate all year round, Malta is a gorgeous place to explore. Going when it is slightly cooler will give you the chance to walk further.
• The Canary Islands. These islands are renowned for their climate. They are a top destination for winter sun-seekers, as they never get too hot but are always a pleasant temperature.
• Cape Verde. A relatively new destination off the coast of Africa, Cape Verde enjoys some great weather. It’s a beach destination where you can enjoy relaxing on golden sands and sipping a cocktail.
