Winter Sun Holidays - 2025/2026
What To Do Once You've Booked
Once you’ve booked your winter sun holiday with Blue Bay Travel, you’ll want to take care of a few administrative tasks. First, print out your ATOL Certificate and double-check the details are correct. This certificate offers financial protection in the event any of the listed ATOL holders cease trading.
Next, get your travel insurance organised. It’s best to buy travel insurance as soon as you’ve made any payments for your trip; that way, you’re covered in case circumstances change and you can’t travel.
It’s also always a good idea to print out hard copies of your booking and flight information to take with you. This way, you have backups in case you can’t get internet access or anything happens to your electronic devices.
You’ll also want to organise any necessary visas. For example, UK travellers will need a visa to travel to the Maldives but not Mauritius, and the Dominican Republic will provide a tourist card on arrival. You should also check the vaccination recommendations and requirements for your destination and schedule any necessary inoculations or booster injections.
Winter Sun Holidays: FAQ
What are the most popular winter sun destinations?
There are many places where you can find winter sun around the world. Some of the most popular destinations include Caribbean nations like the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas, and Indian Ocean getaways like the Maldives and Mauritius. In fact, winter is one of the best times to visit these tropical destinations, as it’s usually during their pleasant dry season, with low risk of rain and storms.
When’s the best time to book a winter sun holiday?
It’s good to start looking at winter holidays a few months in advance. If your dream holiday is available within your price range, book it when you can, in case resorts and flights book up. You might get cheaper deals with a last-minute getaway, but your options will be more limited.
Where is the warmest place in Europe for winter sun?
If you’re looking for winter sun close to home, some of the warmest winter destinations in Europe include Cyprus, roughly five hours from the UK, and the Canary Islands, about four and a half hours away.
