The Best Winter Breaks that Will Fill You With Sunshine

If you are looking to escape from the cold and wind, and would like to top up your tan as well as your Vitamin D supplies this winter, there are plenty of vacation ideas that come to mind. From the sunny part of Europe to the Caribbean and the Canary Islands, you can choose a destination with sunshine and freedom in mind. Below you will find a few tips on how to plan your perfect winter break.

Consider the Time You Have

Before you choose your next holiday destination, it is important that you consider how much time you have free. After all, you simply don’t want to end up paying more for your flights than your accommodation and your activities. You can visit nearby beach resorts if you only have a couple of days. Costa Rica is only a few hours by air, for example. However, you might even plan a longer ski break in Europe and top up your tan while staying active.

Accommodation Options

It is important that you compare the different options when it comes to booking your hotel and your long term rental. Air B and B is a good option if you are touring a country, but you might also consider investing in timeshare deals  to make the most out of your time and budget. You can visit a new country and resort every time you go away for less than the package holiday prices.

Tours

Once you know where you want to go, you will have to look around for tours to stop yourself from getting too comfortable and lazy. If you visit the Canary Islands, for example, you will not only be able to sign up for volcano tours, but also trips to nearby islands and attractions. The good news is that tours are generally much cheaper during the winter months, even though you will get plenty of sunshine, still.

Adventure Travel

To make the most out of your vacation in the winter, you might also engage in adventure travel. From hiking tours to visiting places that are usually crowded during the summer vacations, you can sign up for some great deals, such as paragliding, scuba diving, learning to sail, or surfing. Go backpacking, visit remote villages, and get to know new cultures.

Eco Lodges

One of the best ways you can take advantage of the outdoors is staying in an Eco lodge close to nature. You might want to explore different places and ecosystems, volunteer wildlife projects, or simply enroll in a yoga retreat, so you can return home healthier, happier, and rejuvenated. You can find some stunning nature reserves with Eco lodges in Central America where you can take a step back from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Some days during the winter we just think we need to get away, but don’t know where to. There are plenty of great ideas for filling up with Vitamin D, fresh air, and taking a break from sitting in traffic every morning and night.
