Escape the winter gloom with some guaranteed sunshine in Gambia and Goa.
Package company Olympic Holidays has savings of up to £700 on certain holidays in both destinations.
Daytime temperatures of up to 30 degrees, eight hours of sunshine a day, virtually no rain and low humidity are Gambia’s obvious attractions. It also has just a six-hour flight time (less than Dubai or Florida) with no jet-lag because it is in the same time zone as the UK.
Olympic has seven nights’ B&B at the four-star Ocean Bay Hotel at Cape Point from £529 per person, including flights from Gatwick on January 7.
Further afield, Goa in India enjoys similar temperatures: up to 30 degrees with 10 hours of sun every day.
Seven nights’ half board at the Radisson Blu (pictured) is from £789 per person, including flights from Gatwick on December 18.
