As winter approaches and the days grow shorter, the desire to be in the sun grows stronger. Fortunately, there are several idyllic destinations that offer the perfect escape from the winter chill. Below are five locations where you can chase the sun during these cold winter months. 

When I think of Dubai, I think of luxury and opulence; this city beckons winter sun seekers with its year-round sunshine and world-class attractions. Explore the iconic Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, or drive around the sprawling Dubai Mall in a chauffeured buggy! Immerse yourself in the vibrant culture of the city's traditional souks or relax on the pristine beaches along the Arabian Gulf. There is so much you could do here on a family holiday or do absolutely nothing at all and enjoy some of the most luxurious beach hotels in the world. With a mix of modern marvels and desert charm, Dubai offers a unique winter sun experience. 

Marrakesh - one of my favourite places in Morroco! Prepare to have every one of your senses heightened in this enchanting city, where ornate palaces, bustling markets, and aromatic spices create an absolute feast. Winter is an ideal time to visit as the scorching heat of summer gives way to comfortable temperatures. Lose yourself in the maze-like streets of the Medina, visit the breathtaking Bahia Palace, spot the storks that sit guard over palace ruins and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of Jemaa el-Fna square. I would also recommend a visit the Majorelle Gardens and the Yves Saint Larent Museuem which are great photography spots! With its rich history, vibrant culture, and sunny skies, Marrakesh is an irresistible destination for winter sun seekers. 

For those seeking a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage, Oman presents an intriguing option and you dont have to travel halfway around the world. With its rugged mountains, stunning coastlines, and ancient forts, this Arabian gem offers a diverse range of experiences. Explore the majestic Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, take a dip in the crystal-clear waters of Wadi Shab, or venture into the enchanting desert of Wahiba Sands. With its warm climate and welcoming locals, Oman is an ideal destination for winter sun escapes. 

When it comes to idyllic winter sun destinations, the Maldives needs no introduction. Comprising a network of secluded islands with pristine white-sand beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters, this archipelago is a true tropical paradise. Snorkel (or scuba dive) among vibrant coral reefs, unwind in luxurious overwater villas, and witness breathtaking sunsets that will leave you in awe. With its year-round tropical climate, the Maldives offers the ultimate winter sun getaway. 

If you're looking for a winter sun destination that combines adventure and relaxation, Costa Rica is the perfect choice. Known for its lush rainforests, stunning waterfalls, and abundant wildlife, this Central American gem offers a plethora of outdoor activities. Zip-line through the treetops, hike to the majestic Arenal Volcano, or unwind on the pristine beaches of Manuel Antonio National Park. With its tropical climate and captivating biodiversity, Costa Rica promises an unforgettable experience.

Whether you seek the modern extravagance of Dubai, the vibrant charm of Marrakesh, the natural wonders of Oman, the serene beauty of the Maldives, or the adventurous spirit of Costa Rica, these destinations offer a respite from the winter chill.
