Top winter holiday destinations
Switzerland
If you want a true winter wonderland of an escape, then Switzerland is ideal: we can arrange stays in luxury resorts, cosy cottages or sleek chalets, and book dedicated outings so you can explore the snow-capped mountains and stunning sights of Switzerland. Get out into the fresh alpine air and explore that magical winter scenery or hit the slopes for skiing and snowboarding, then relax and unwind with world-class dining and lakeside spa retreats.
Maldives
Prefer sunshine to snow? Then a Maldives holiday is a classic choice for UAE travellers seeking winter warmth. Stay in an overwater villa, snorkel in crystal lagoons, and enjoy the calm and seclusion of your own private island – with all of this winter-sun luxury just a short flight away from Dubai and the UAE.
Austria
For culture, charm, and snowy wonderlands, Austria delivers in spades. Explore Vienna’s festive markets, glide across alpine ice rinks, or head into the mountains for a classic ski break in resorts like Kitzbühel.
Georgia
Just three hours from Dubai, Georgia holidays are an increasingly popular winter break option. Combine ski resorts like Gudauri with big-city culture in Tbilisi, and enjoy a break that balances adventure with affordability.
UK
From Christmas shopping in London to snowy countryside escapes, a holiday package to the UK is perfect for memorable winter experiences. Festive lights, cosy pubs, and iconic attractions make the UK a perfect seasonal getaway.
Singapore
If your perfect winter escape means sunshine and shopping, Singapore is a must. Browse designer boutiques on Orchard Road, explore futuristic attractions like Gardens by the Bay, and relax with a rooftop swim overlooking the skyline. With world-class dining and year-round warmth, it’s a vibrant alternative to snowy destinations.
