Lanzarote is Ireland’s most popular destination for winter holiday deals from Ireland. TUI have many resorts and accommodation options to choose from, and I found great value in self catering and all-inclusive holidays.

The Cinco Plaza apartments in Puerto del Carmen have been a firm favourite with Irish holidaymakers for many years, due to their central location and lively atmosphere. Price for a seven-night stay is €599 in January.

If you prefer an all-inclusive hotel, the 4-Star Rio Playa Blanca Hotel is only €787 in January and €839 in February for a seven night stay. Alternatively the 4-star Riu Paraiso in Puerto del Carmen is €961 on an all-inclusive basis.

All prices include flights, checked baggage and airport transfers, and all inclusive resorts include meals and drinks too. Many more dates are available.

2. Long haul for less in Thailand – Half Board €1412, All Inclusive €1665

Treat yourself to a winter holiday in Thailand. I found a great deal staying in the 4-Star Sunsuri Phuket Hotel in November, which is just 5-minutes walk from one of Thailand’s best beaches! This hotel is rated as Excellent on TripAdvisor and was a Travellers Choice award winner this year.

Price for a seven-night stay with flights, hotel on a bed & breakfast basis, checked baggage, and return airport transfers is €1475 per person in November and €1299 in January. Price for Half Board is €1412 or All Inclusive is €1665 in January. Many more dates are available.

3. Christmas market breaks – Berlin from €351, Vienna from €383

Did you know TUI offer Christmas market breaks ? They have a wide range to choose from, but these two caught my eye!

A two-night break in Berlin, staying in the superbly located Catalonia Berlin Mitte with flights included is only €351 on the 11th of December. 

If Vienna is on your wish list ( believe me it should be ), a two-night Christmas market break at the top-rated Leonardo Hotel Vienna Schönbrunn is €383 on the 11th of December.

Both options include Aer Lingus flights with 10kg checked baggage and seat selection, and a two-night stay in top-rated hotels. Many more dates are available.

4. Marvel at Marrakesh – 4 Night All Inclusive Break from €552

Explore magical Marrakesh while staying in a top-rated all-inclusive resort in the heart of the city. The TUI BLUE Medina Gardens is the place to stay if you want an adult-only property with a choice of dining options and super service.

There are seven bars – including a rooftop bar, as well as cookery courses, sports, well being classes and lots more. Rated as Excellent on TripAdvisor, you may want to consider staying longer…

Prices include return flights with Aer Lingus and a four-night stay with transfers, baggage, all meals and drinks is €563 in December, €552 in January and €611 in February.

5. Winter sun in Gran Canaria from €585

The west coast of Gran Canaria is the most sheltered, making it the perfect choice for winter sun and sea bathing. I found great value in the popular Rocamar apartments in Puerto Rico, priced at €585 for a seven-night stay in February.

If you prefer to go all-inclusive, the 4-star Mogan Princess & Beach Club is available from €921 in February. Many more dates are available.

Both prices include flights, accommodation, transfers and baggage, and a stay in the Mogan Princess & Beach Club includes meals and drinks too.

If you want incredible beaches and a laid back vibe, then look no further than Fuerteventura. We spent Easter holidays there this year and loved it.

The Natural Park in Correlejo is home to Grandes Playas – 10km of coastline with white sandy beaches and dramatic sand dunes. People travel from all over the island to spend some time here, but if you stay in the Riu Olivia Beach Resort – you will be right on this beach!

Price for an all-inclusive stay with flights, transfers, baggage, and all meals and drinks is €3876 family over the February mid term break, or €2802 over St Patrick’s week, based on a family of four. Prices are much lower on off-peak dates.

7. Try Tenerife – Luxury All Inclusive from €987

The 4-Star+ All Inclusive Marylanza Hotel is constantly rated as Excellent on TripAdvisor and boasts a fine dining restaurant and Teppanyaki, as well as a buffet restaurant with a terrace for al fresco dining. Chilled Cava, a chocolate fountain and themed evenings elevate the dining experience.

There are two pools, including one with in-water seats, as well as a luxury Spa, and the location is great too, with Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas just 15-minutes’ walk away.

Price for flights, transfers, baggage and a seven-night stay with all meals and drinks included is €1079 in November, €1031 in December, €987 in January and €1009 in February.

8. Do Dubai – 7 Nights All Inclusive from €1889

Dubai is a great winter holiday destination if you want sunshine and top attractions to visit. Try a desert safari, go to the top of the world’s tallest building, ski in the worlds largest indoor ski slope, or simply relax on one of its stunning beaches.

We visited Dubai the year before last year had a blast. Activities and dining are expensive, so I always recommend booking a hotel with meals included, or better still book an all-inclusive hotel. St Patrick’s week is a great week to visit Dubai, as there are many Irish bands playing all over the city.  

TUI have a great winter holiday deals to Dubai, especially in the the top-rated all-inclusive Riu Dubai. Price is €1889 for a seven-night stay with direct flights, baggage, transfers and all meals and drinks included in January and March.

9. Malaga, Caminito del Rey & Beach – 4 Night Half Board Stays from €404

Torremolinos is having a moment. It’s recent regeneration has earned high praise from visitors, mainly due to €3 million investment into the main squares and pedestrian zones.

It is also just a short hop by taxi or train to nearby Malaga, a beautiful city which I recently discovered on a short break, and also within easy reach of the stunning cliff path walk – Caminito del Rey.

I suggest staying at the Hotel Pez Espada, it is one of the most iconic hotels on the Costa del Sol and was the first luxury hotel to open here. Celebrities such as Frank Sinatra and Sean Connery were guests, and Frankie’s Bar pays homage to this.

The hotel combines old world charm with modern comforts beautifully and it is just a few minutes’ walk to La Cariheula, Torremolinos’ Spanish quarter known for its tapas bars. Check out the reviews on TripAdvisor if you still need convincing.

Price for a four-night stay with breakfast and evening meal included, as well as flights, transfers and baggage is €452 in November, €417 in December and €404 in January or February. 

10. Go All Inclusive in Zanzibar – Flights & 7 Nights Stay, €1952

Scratch one off your bucket list and book a winter holiday in Zanzibar! The Reef and Beach Resort is traditional in design with thatched roofs that blend beautifully into the landscape.

There are two pools, two bars and two restaurants, as well as a selection of water sports and activities for you to enjoy. The reviews on the sundowners at the hotel’s beach bar are enough to tempt me – it is located on a jetty and resembles an overwater bungalow! This hotel is rated as Excellent on TripAdvisor and is superb value for winter holiday deals from Ireland in such an exotic location.

Price of €1952 includes flights, transfers, baggage and a seven-night stay on an all-inclusive basis, departing 19th February, and price is only €1635 in March! Many more dates and durations are available.
