Whether you’re escaping the family or bringing them with you, Christmas beach holidays are a fantastic way to experience the festive season in a new light. Create new holiday memories by building sandcastles instead of snowmen, and surfing waves instead of ice.

Alternatively, Christmas beach holidays are great for those who don’t celebrate but want a break from the cold season to enjoy some of the world's most luxurious destinations for winter sun.

No matter why you’re after a hot holiday at Christmas, here are some beach holiday destinations that are great to visit in December and over the Christmas period. Alternatively, speak to one of our travel specialists for more suggestions and to start planning your Christmas break in the sun.
