5x Winter sun destinations

During a visit to Universal Studios is great weather guaranteed. Plenty to do and explore. Pick up your rental car from one of the many airports such as Tampa or Orlando. The whitest beaches can be found in the Keys, the archipelago in southern Florida or the Gulf Coast in western Florida.

2. Faro, Portugal

Faro lies in the most southern area of ​​Portugal. A place with beautiful beaches and, despite the still cold sea water, very popular among surfers. Faro is already a wonderful winter sun destination in spring. In March the temperatures vary between 16 and 22 degrees. Great for walking, cycling, and exploring the surrounding area. The city itself also has plenty of sights such as the impressive São Pedro church in the old center. If you have a more time available and want to see more of the country, a one-way between Faro and Lisbon is a good option. Here you hand in the car at a different place than where you picked it up.

3. Spanish Islands

The Spanish islands have been a popular destination among Europeans for years. The best known are Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote, and Fuerteventura. Each island has its own unique charms, but one thing they all have in common is a good dose of sun all year round! In fact, it is spring all year round, with temperatures between 20 and 27 degrees. Do you prefer to walk in distinct nature during your winter getaway? Then you will feel most at home on either El Hierro, La Gomera or La Palma.

4. Curacao

With temperatures of 30 degrees, little rain, and a Caribbean wind in winter, Curaçao certainly belongs on this list. Due to the tropical temperatures, a visit to the islands in winter is recommended. There is also plenty to do on the island, such as visiting colorful Willemstad or going to Jan Thiel Bay. The latter is located on the south of the island and has a beautiful snow-white beach and several beach clubs. Curaçao is a large island, and the sights are very spread out. When you drive from the east to the west, it will easily take you an hour. It is therefore advisable to rent a car on Curaçao, also due to the high costs of public transport.
