As the end of January is near and the first payday since Christmas comes around, is there a better way to spend that hard earned cash than booking a sunny holiday?
From the luxurious Caribbean to the charming streets of Madeira, your winter months will soon seem brighter with a dose of sunshine, blue skies and maybe even a few tan lines.
Mayfair Gardens Apartments
The clue is in the name – this beautifully lush resort is filled with colourful flowers and exotic greenery. The lagoon-like pools are the main attraction here and the hotel’s quiet location means you can laze the sunny Cypriot days away in undisturbed peace. Just a 15-minute walk away is Kato Paphos harbour where you can enjoy strolling around the shops, delicious local meals and a few evening drinks with a stunning view over the sea.
Paphos offers more than just sunshine and pretty views. Ancient ruins surround the area – old temples, monasteries and the famous Tombs of the Kings to name just a few – so history buffs will love this location just as much as sun-seekers.

Riu Naiboa
A white-wash gem that sparkles through the Dominican’s lush palm fringe coastline, the Riu Naiboa is a beachfront beauty that feels like a tropical hideaway. Beach bums that love nothing more than siestas in the sun will be at home on the supersize Bavaro Beach just a five-minute walk away. For those who prefer a more lively holiday, volleyball, tennis, snorkelling, kayaking and scuba diving are just a few of the exciting activities you can get up to at this hotel.
Dominican Republic temperatures can reach a scorching 30°C in March so your two week holiday here makes a fantastic break from the chilly weather at home.

Riu Touareg
One of our favourite hotels, the Riu Touareg is as beautiful to look at as it is to experience. Sunken pool loungers, a swim-up bar, and adults-only sun terrace make this pool area the star of the show. Because of the hotel’s fabulously quiet location, the views of the endless white sands are undisturbed – there’s nothing more peaceful than watching the sun go down here.
Despite the peacefulness, you won’t be bored. You can snorkel with the tropical fish, laugh and sing along with the nightly entertainment, and go head-to-head on the tennis courts, there’s even an on-site nightclub – you’ll never want to leave. With temperatures in Boa Vista reaching 25°C in February, your Valentines Day is sure to be a hot one this year.

Protur Aparthotel Bonaire
It’s no surprise that Majorca has become a firm favourite for Brits. With its picturesque coastline and year-round sunny days, the island has become the idea of a perfect Mediterranean holiday for many. This hotel is wonderfully located, landscaped and designed. Relaxing siestas by the winding river-like pool will become a daily habit in this tranquil setting. The Italian and buffet restaurants offer fabulous options for holiday indulgence, along with the pool snack bar for those all important ice-creams.
With the pretty fishing town of Cala Bona just a 10-minute walk away, this resort is brilliant for holidaymakers who want to explore outside of their resort too. Self Catering holidays give you the freedom to venture into town and explore the local restaurants and bars along the scenic harbour. Take in the sea views while indulging in an authentic paella, or tucking into tapas with your partner.

Pestana Grand Premium Ocean Resort
Spectacular undisturbed sea views are ready to wow you thanks to this hotel’s excellent clifftop location. Bright gardens surround the pool – which also takes advantage of that amazing view – and winding trails entwine the outdoor area so you can go for romantic strolls without even leaving the resort.
There are four restaurants in the hotel with menus sampling cuisine from Morocco, Italy, and of course Madeira, among international classics. Funchal, Madeira’s capital, is just a 10-minute drive away, and with the hotel’s complimentary shuttle bus running into town regularly, you can explore local shops, bars and restaurants to your heart’s content.
