As the crisp November air settles in and days grow shorter, many of us start dreaming of sunshine, turquoise waters, and that first sip of a cool drink under palm trees. Winter is wonderful — but sometimes, we all need a little warmth and adventure to break up the grey skies.

At TravelbyMoniz, we believe that the best cure for winter blues is a plane ticket to somewhere golden. Whether you’re after a luxury island retreat, a cultural escape, or a new adventure, we’ve rounded up six incredible warm-weather destinations to inspire your next getaway.

Pack your sunglasses — it’s time to chase the sun!

Colorful houses line a cliff above a rocky coast with ocean waves. Green terraces and distant mountains under a partly cloudy sky.

If you’re looking for mild temperatures, stunning views, and an easy flight from Europe, Madeira is unbeatable. This lush Atlantic island — often called the “Hawaii of Europe” — offers a perfect mix of nature, gastronomy, and local charm.

Hike along dramatic coastal cliffs, stroll through Funchal’s flower-filled streets, and sample world-famous Madeira wine as the sun sets over the ocean. In November and December, temperatures hover around 20–23°C, making it ideal for outdoor exploring.

TravelbyMoniz tip: Ask us about our exclusive Madeira Explorer Package, which includes private guided tours through the island’s levadas (irrigation trails) and a traditional dinner at a local quinta.

Just a short flight from mainland Europe, the Canary Islands are a dream for winter travellers seeking warmth without long-haul flights. Whether you choose Tenerife, Lanzarote, or Gran Canaria, you’ll find golden beaches, volcanic landscapes, and charming coastal villages waiting for you.

Each island has its own personality: Tenerife is perfect for families, Lanzarote for art and nature lovers, and Fuerteventura for surfers and kite enthusiasts.

Phuket is Thailand’s most beloved island for a reason. With its emerald waters, Thai hospitality, and incredible street food, it’s the ultimate tropical escape. Visit temples, take a Thai cooking class, or simply unwind on beaches like Kata and Nai Harn.

In November, the monsoon season ends, ushering in clear skies and gentle breezes — perfect timing for travelers seeking both relaxation and adventure.

TravelbyMoniz tip: We can organize a Phuket Island-Hopping Cruise, visiting hidden gems like the Phi Phi Islands and James Bond Island — ideal for honeymooners or families alike.

– Africa’s Atlantic Gem

A rising star among winter destinations, Cape Verde offers a unique blend of African soul and Portuguese charm. With year-round sunshine and temperatures around 25°C, this volcanic archipelago off the West African coast is perfect for those who want warmth without crowds.

Relax on the beaches of Sal or Boa Vista, try windsurfing, or dance the night away to traditional morna music. Cape Verde is both tranquil and vibrant — and surprisingly affordable.
