Cheapest winter sun destinations from £51pppn in January – including Cyprus & Spain | The Sun

THE biggest winter sun bargains for Brits looking to go on holiday in January can be found in Spain and Cyprus, with prices from £51pp a night.

If you're willing to travel further, long-haul destinations include Orlando in Florida, Dubai and Thailand.

The Post Office report found those destinations to be the cheapest for Brits, using a three-course dinner for two with wine, a cup of coffee, a bottle of local beer, sunscreen, bug repellent, a Coca Cola can, a glass of wine, a bottle of still water as cross-references to compile the list.

The best bargain holidays were in Turkey; however, the temperatures are not the warmest in winter.

Spain and Cyprus are good contenders coming in fifth and sixth spots.

The average cost for a package holiday, a daily cup of coffee, beer and a three-course meal, is less than £500 per person.
