After one of the wettest summers on record, and the recent news
that the UK could be facing the harshest winter in a century,
Cheapflights.co.uk has put together some of the best deals to help
sun-starved Brits finally catch those much-loved rays of sunshine
over the next few months.
Whether it's an idyllic beach retreat, a cultural discovery or
an exotic adventure, sunshine can still be found around the
world.
"It was a disappointing summer weather-wise this year and many
holidaymakers chose to stay at home and not miss out on events like
the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics. This means that the thought
of sun-drenched lands has never been more appealing; and it's
definitely not too late to book a flight to escape the icy
conditions," says Oonagh Shiel, Travel Expert at
Cheapflights.co.uk.
Cheapflights' team of experts has put together their selection
of some of the best value winter sun destinations in 2013.
Florida for only £ 386
The Sunshine State lives up to its name even in the winter
months, boasting the highest average January temperatures in the
United States. There is no shortage of action-packed activities to
ensure a fun family holiday, from theme parks in Orlando to water
sports in Cape Coral. St. Petersburg on Florida's Gulf Coast holds
the Guinness World Record for the most consecutive days of
sunshine, while the Florida Keys has a subtropical climate and far
fewer rain showers than in the summer.
Return flights from London to Florida with Cheapflights.co.uk
start from just £ 386 per person.
Tenerife from just £ 88 per person
Only four hours away, Tenerife is conveniently close for Brits
in need of a quick fix of sunshine over the winter months. Even in
January, the temperature will normally reach 20 degrees c at sea
level, so days can be spent relaxing on the golden beaches. Away
from the seaside, the mild winter climate provides pleasant
conditions for exploring the national park or taking in
breath-taking views from the top of Mount Teide, Tenerife's
volcano.
Return flights from London to Tenerife with the price comparison
site Cheapflights.co.uk start from just £ 88 per person.
Mexico from just £ 314 per person
With extensive coastlines, luscious forests and a rich Native
American heritage, Mexico has something to keep every tourist
entertained. Adventure seekers can trek through tropical forests in
Chiapas, while those in need of rest can laze on the white sand
beaches of Cancun. History lovers will head to the Mayan ruins in
Yucatan, also home to the colonial city of Merida. The variety of
accommodation options available makes Mexico a great value winter
sun destination, from five-star luxury beach resorts to the more
authentic haciendas in the less developed south.

The Maldives from only £ 531 per
person
Just north of the Equator in the Indian Ocean, the group of
1,200 islands that make up the Maldives is a winter sun paradise.
The flight is almost fourteen hours, so it's a significant distance
from the UK, but this makes the archipelago the place to escape
from the world and forget the bleak midwinter days at home. The
islands' resorts offer comprehensive rest and relaxation
experiences, with unspoilt white sand beaches, swaying palms and
deep-blue lagoons. For the more active holidaymaker, snorkelling,
diving and surfing are on your doorstep, and there's also a rich
cultural heritage to discover.
Return flights from London to Male with Cheapflights.co.uk start
from just £ 531 per person.
South Africa flights from only £ 479 per
person
An overnight flight in both directions and a time difference of
just one hour mean there's no jet lag when travelling to South
Africa. In fact, sun worshippers could make Cape Town the
destination for a long weekend. Holidaymakers with more time to
spend in the Rainbow Nation can combine a cultural city break with
a wildlife safari, a tour of the celebrated vineyards -- and a
beach retreat along the country's stunning coastline.
Return flights from London to Cape Town with Cheapflights.co.uk
start from just £ 479 per person.
