If you’ve been waiting for Mr. Sun to come out and visit the UK for weeks or even months, you can end the waiting time by simply going to some of the world’s great winter sun destinations. These are the following:

  
South Africa

One of the most visited countries by Britons is South Africa. One reason is because it is in the same time zone as UK, which means no jet lag. In here you can enjoy not just stunning beaches and great hot weather but also amazing sceneries, world-class food, and great-tasting wines.

Bermuda

Compared to South Africa, Bermuda is closer to the UK. If you don’t have an idea on what awaits you here, it is the mythical setting for Shakespeare’s The Tempest. It is also the land of pink houses and pink beaches. It is truly relaxing.

Cyprus

Just four and a half hours away from the UK, Cyprus is indeed one of the best choices for Britons who want a quick getaway. Although the island can be chilly during winter months, it gets plenty of sunshine most of the year.

Thailand

If you don’t mind taking the 13-hour flight, Thailand can be your very best option. Here, white sandy beaches and lots of sunshine await you. Experience not just the weather and beaches but also the amazing food and rich culture that will surely fascinate you.

Western Australia

This one takes around 20 hours from London but it is definitely worth it. This part of Australia is beautiful, remote, and largely uninhibited. Best activities here aside from getting your tan are diving and snorkelling.
