Winter Sun Holidays

Discover the best selection of winter holidays with Hays Travel

Winter is the perfect time of year to take a much-needed holiday and escape the shorter days and wintery chills at home. Not only is travelling in the winter often a budget-friendly option as you’re holidaying off-peak, but you'll still have a whole world of amazing destinations to choose from. Sun-seekers can jet away to the Canary Islands or further afield to Dubai and Mexico. Lapland and Iceland are perfect for snow-based activities. Intrepid explorers can choose a Prague or Marrakech city break. Or why not see in the New Year with loved ones at a cosy lodge on a UK break?
