Once Christmas and New Year are out of the way, and Resolutions for the year broken, heading off for a January holiday is one way to kick off any year in style. Some of the best places for January holidays include:
Take advantage of bargain-basement flights in January and jet off to the Costa del Sol. With temperatures reaching 20C and above, it's a fantastic destination for a few days or more. Flights from the UK take just over two hours, so it's an easy matter to head off on Friday and be back at your desk by Tuesday if you can only spare time for a short break. If you're planning a longer holiday, you could also think about the Canary Islands, which are always a great January hols option.
If you've never visited Malta, then January is a great time to visit. Temperatures may only reach 15C or so, but planning a city break to Valetta in January gives you opportunities to learn about the history of the town which stretches back over 5,000 years.
If it's a January ski holiday that flicks all your switches, Bulgaria is one of the most affordable winter ski destinations at the moment. Any ski breaks in January tend to be available at best value prices anyway, and it's easily possible to pick up great deals for four or five days. If you haven't tried skiing or snowboarding yet, a short break gives you a taste of these sports. And, so much more besides!
The glorious beaches and laid back lifestyle of Goa will be a real winner for holidaymakers booking longer holidays in January. This destination offers visitors an exciting blend of Indian and Portuguese cultures, to make any holiday an adventure in its own right. Add some diving, a few boat trips, and yoga classes into the mix and you're sure to return from your holiday feeling refreshed and relaxed.
