TUI is offering savings of up to £550 on winter sun holidays, with departures between November 2026 and April 2027. Destinations include the Canary Islands, Cyprus, Thailand, Mexico and Mauritius, providing options for travellers seeking warmer weather during the UK's colder months.
Winter Sun Options and Temperatures
The Canary Islands are among the warmest choices for end-of-year sun, with Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote and Fuerteventura typically reaching around 20-22°C. Flights from the UK take roughly four to four-and-a-half hours. Cyprus is slightly cooler, with average winter highs of 17-19°C and flights taking around four-and-a-half hours.
Holidays outside the peak summer season often offer better value, making winter a savvy time to enjoy sunshine for less. Options range from family-friendly resorts to adults-only retreats.
Featured Hotels and Guest Reviews
The TUI BLUE Atlantic Hills in Tenerife is an adults-only retreat in Puerto de la Cruz, set within Taoro Park with views across the Atlantic Ocean and Mount Teide. It features three outdoor pools, a spa, gym and rooftop sun terraces. One guest called it an "amazing hotel" and a "hidden gem," while another described their stay as "absolutely first class." A honeymooning guest praised the "fantastic views" but noted the hotel is at the top of a very steep hill. Seven-night stays start from £603 per person, departing from London on November 7.
The Riu Oliva Beach Resort in Fuerteventura sits on Grandes Playas, the island's largest sandy beach, with Corralejo around 15 minutes away by bus. Guests praised the food, with one calling it "undoubtedly" the best thing about the hotel, and another highlighting "excellent value for money." Some criticism centred on dated accommodation. Seven-night stays start from £527 per person, departing from London Gatwick on November 28.
Family-Friendly and Long-Haul Choices
TUI BLUE Flamingo Beach in Lanzarote is a family-friendly resort near Playa Flamingo Beach, with a playground, splash pool, soft play areas and an enhanced kids' club. One returning guest said they had "11 wonderful nights" and "cannot find fault with a single thing." Another praised the "lot's of entrainment for the children." However, one reviewer felt the hotel was dated and raised a safety concern about exposed electrical wires. Seven-night stays start from £701 per person, departing from East Midlands Airport on November 16.
The TUI BLUE Sensatori Atlantica Aphrodite Hills in Cyprus overlooks the Mediterranean and has more restaurants than any other Sensatori resort. It offers a two-tier main pool, an adults-only pool and a wet play area. One guest praised the "fantastic environment and fantastic service," while another said the food was "by far the best we have ever had at any hotel." One reviewer, however, said they "would not personally rate Aphrodite Hills as a true 5-star experience." Seven-night stays start from £1582 per person, departing from London Heathrow on November 21.
For long-haul options, the Riu Cancun in Mexico is an adults-only beachfront hotel around a 15-minute walk from Cancun's nightclubs and bars. The TUI BLUE Mai Khao Lak in Thailand is a family-friendly resort beside a sandy beach, with kids' clubs, a pirate ship-themed splash park and private-pool villas. Prices are subject to change.
