Cancun

This may be a longer flight than Sharm, but trust us it will be worth it when you first step foot on that warm fine sand.

However, the biggest draw has to be the weather – yes you may have to travel a little further afield for it, but with highs of 30°C in November and December it’s a no-brainer.
