Holidays in January
The cheapest month of the year to travel and the one where destination choice matters most. Half of Europe is cold and wet; the other half of the world is at its best.
The cheapest month of the year to travel and the one where destination choice matters most. Half of Europe is cold and wet; the other half of the world is at its best.
School holidays are over, Christmas demand has collapsed, and the weather in the right places is at its peak.
The Caribbean, the Maldives, Thailand's Andaman coast and the Gulf are all in their dry season and at their most reliable. The Canaries sit at 21–23°C. Meanwhile European city breaks are at their cheapest of the year — Prague, Budapest and Kraków are freezing, empty and about half their summer price, which suits some people very well. What doesn't work is the Mediterranean beach: 15°C and nobody swimming.
In season this month, with honest temperatures.
21–23°C, four hours, same time zone. The short-haul answer.
Peak dry season. Reliable sun, warm sea, and priced accordingly.
Dry season, clearest water of the year.
Andaman coast at its best — Krabi, Phuket, Phi Phi.
25°C, no rain, and the city at its most comfortable.
The cheapest ski weeks of the season, and reliably cold.
Freezing, empty and half price. Superb if you don't mind the cold.
Dry, no hurricanes, no seaweed. The best month on that coast.
Dry on the south and west coasts, and blue whale season.
We'll tell you honestly. School holidays and Easter move prices far more than the season does — send us your dates and we'll show you what a week either side costs.
They're typical daytime highs, not guarantees. We'll give you sea temperature as well as air, which is the number that decides whether you swim.
Yes, and it's usually 30–40% cheaper for identical weather. If your dates have any flexibility at all, tell us and we'll price both.
Then book early rather than waiting for a deal. In peak weeks the good rooms go first and prices only climb.
In season this month, with guide prices for January departures.
The warmest thing four hours from the UK, and the cheapest week of the year.
Peak season and priced as such, but the water is at its clearest.
The driest month on the west coast, and worth the long flight.
Wildebeest calving on the southern plains, and very active predators.
Freezing, half-price and nearly empty. Which suits some people.
The long-haul all-inclusive that discounts most reliably.
Guide prices, per person, based on two sharing, including return flights, accommodation and transfers. They indicate what a holiday of this type has typically cost and are not an offer or a quotation. Your price depends on dates, party, board basis, departure airport and availability, and is confirmed in writing before any payment is taken.
In season this month, and every one can be reshaped around your dates.
