!Things to do 1. Lanzarote

 Part of the Canary Islands, located off the West coast of Africa, Lanzarote features beautiful year-round heat, vast stretches of beaches and grand volcanic landscapes. If your idea of winter activities includes snorkelling in crystal clear waters, hang-gliding over rolling, rocky cliffs and lazy-days with your toes in the sand, then Lanzarote is your ideal winter getaway. 

!Getaways 2. Costa Rica

 A tropical paradise – there’s no other way to describe Costa Rica, but we’ll do our best to paint a picture of this incredibly beautiful country. Waterfalls nestled in jungle-lined beaches, active volcanoes, diverse wildlife, trials through emerald vegetation and soaring hills, and most importantly of all (to excite the kids) zip wires over rainforests! 

!Food & Drink 3. Tenerife

 The largest and most populated of Spain’s Canary Islands, Tenerife is famous for its imposing 7,500m mountain, Mt. Teide, one of the world’s largest volcanoes. The island is a busy hive of upscale family resorts with miles of sun-lounger dotted beaches of yellow and black sand. Time it right in February, and you can also enjoy the festivities of the pre-Lent Carnival.

!Health & Beauty 4. Switzerland

 The home of the majestic Alps offers the perfect winter escape for chocolate lovers and ski fanatics alike. Explore quiet villages, incredible medieval landmarks and mirror-like lakes nestled in between the stunning peaks and slopes of the Alps. Pack your skis/snowboard and enjoy days spent drifting down some of the most spectacular mountain landscapes found in Europe with the family.

!Goodies 5. Antigua

 Antigua is an unobtrusive and enchanting little patch of paradise in the West Indies known for its peaceful, family-friendly villas and pristine white-sand beaches. Time slows down to an amble on the shores of Antigua and days are best spent meandering the palm trees and quiet trails of the coastal hills.
