What's hot this Christmas?

As the temperatures drop, it's tempting to ditch the white Christmas for white sand, sun and sea instead. So whether you're looking for a festive break or just fancy swinging in a beach hammock, we've found some of the best places to top up your winter sun.

Lets begin with an eastern promise for those more indulgent sunseekers. Its not too late to find a last minute flight deal to enjoy one of those luxurious Mauritius holidays.

Another exclusive option is Phuket in Thailand - where its all about swaying palms, spearmint sea and talc white sand. Why not spend new years day falling asleep under one of those palm trees. Click here to view some bargain Thailand beachfront villas.

For those with a tighter budget, you can find the same sun on just as fine sand only a few hours away by hopping on a cheap flight to the Canary Islands, where temperatures average a high 22C in December and January. It's easy to escape the crowds if you know how.

Lanzarote has something for everyone - from beach bums to adventure seekers.  For instance, there's excellent surfing on Famara beach, the longest strip of coast in Lanzarote for the wave worshipper. And there's every type of idyllic  beach, from secluded cove to wild and windswept, for the sun worshipper. Try a luxury villa in Playa Blanca for a totally relaxing Christmas break or click here to view our whole range of Lanzarote apartments and Lanzarote villas.

And finally, if you're looking for more fiesta than siesta, then escape to one of our owner's villas in Tenerife.  The new Tenerife is a place of fine food and wine, infinity pools and private beaches!

Whatever you choose have a very merry Christmas and a great start to the New Year.
