Last minute winter breaks

Winter is settling in, but that doesn’t mean you have to... just yet, at least.

Laze... in Lanzarote

By quirk of geography, Spain’s Canary Islands enjoy the kind of year-round temperatures Irish people would give their eye-teeth for. In wintertime, Lanzarote wallows around 20 degrees — just the right amount of sun to get you out and about on the island’s beaches, mountains, caves, boats and bike runs. Topflight has a series of specials, including the four-star Vik Hotel San Antonio from €699pps (departing November 29), and the five-star Hotel Volcan in Playa Blanca from €799pps (departing November 21). All prices include flights, transfers and luggage allowance.
