There’s no shortage of spots to run to when the winds of winter start to creep up. A few of the best winter sun destinations in Europe quickly come to mind. But why stop there?

Some things in life you just can’t escape… like the cold touch of winter. But, although set in stone, nothing stops you from eluding its freezing embrace by jetting off to a winter sun destination.

I, for one, love a bit (okay, more than a bit) of globetrotting. And finding the best winter sun destinations around the world seems as good a reason as any to do so.
