Why choose a winter sun villa holiday?
When winter feels like one long stretch of grey skies, having some sunshine in the diary gives you something to look forward to.
A villa gives you space and privacy too. Make breakfast when you fancy it. Spend an afternoon beside your own pool. Eat outside while the sun goes down. There are no hotel timetables to follow, so you can enjoy every day your way.
Travelling outside the main summer season can also mean quieter resorts, giving you more space to explore.
Where to go for Winter Sun
Canary Islands
For reliable winter sunshine without travelling too far, the Canary Islands are hard to beat. Choose between the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, Fuerteventura's sweeping beaches, Tenerife's lively resorts or the varied scenery of Gran Canaria.
Madeira
Prefer green mountains to endless beaches? Madeira brings a different flavour to your winter escape.
Spend your days walking through dramatic landscapes, exploring Funchal or simply enjoying the afternoon sun from your villa terrace. Then slow things down as evening arrives.
Cyprus
Cyprus is a great choice when you want to mix sunshine with history, food and days beside the sea. Explore around Paphos, settle in for a long lunch or spend the day doing very little at all.
Algarve
Winter reveals a quieter side of the Algarve. Explore its coastline, wander through historic towns and enjoy long lunches without the summer rush.
Winter villa holidays with heated pools
Fancy a swim even when the air feels a little cooler?
Choose one of our villas with a heated pool and make more of your private pool throughout the winter months. Pool heating is included during winter in the majority of our villas where heating is available.
