If you are planning to go away in the winter months of the UK but want to go somewhere that is hot and sunny, then you may be a little limited in choice. The southern hemisphere is usually hotter at this time of year so places such as Australia, South America and the Caribbean should be top of your list. These places are all quite a distance from the UK so you can expect longer flight times and also more expensive holiday costs.
Many places in the Caribbean cost between £1000 and upwards of £3000 per person for one week. These types of holidays are certainly not cheap, but if you can wait and boo at the last minute you may be able to save up to 50% on the total cost of the holiday.
Cape Verdi is another beautiful location if you are looking for all year round sun. Cape Verdi is a nation on a volcanic archipelago off the northwest coast of Africa. It is renowned for its beautiful white sandy beaches and its friendly Portuguese- African culture.
As there have been some recent events in the Caribbean where a storm has caused devastation, it is advised to check carefully that your chosen location has not been affected.
