This winter will see droves of holidaymakers flock to sunnier shores - but with so many winter sun destinations to choose from, where is best to go? This can depend on how far you want to travel and what you want to get out of your holiday, but here are five of the most attractive locations. Those keen to stray not too far from home may like to stay along the Costa Blanca - a 200 km stretch of beach-based destinations in Spain that are sure to please. The area is famed for the quality of its beaches, which attract scores of visitors to destinations such as Benidorm and Alicante each year. Meanwhile, those eager to explore further afield and experience a bit of adventure may like to try Egypt or South Africa. Egypt, of course, offers dazzling sights such as the pyramids and the Sphinx - some of the most awe-inspiring and mysterious structures that can be seen in the world today. South Africa provides a wide variety of holiday types, all drenched in heat for a winter escape. Holidaymakers can head to the coast and indulge in diving, snorkelling and other water sports, or they can head inland and view some of the amazing wildlife on safari. Others may prefer a quieter island break. Those looking for a holiday of this nature may enjoy a trip to the Canary Islands, an archipelago off the north-west coast of Africa. Including popular destinations such as Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Lanzarote, visitors will be treated to an idyllic escape, equipped with glorious sunshine and beautiful beaches to enjoy it on. Or you might prefer to head to Malta, another sunny island haven. Combining interesting architecture and historical sights with its warm weather and sandy beaches, Malta strikes a good balance between relaxing, lazy days on the beach and interesting walks among native sights. It also boasts delicious local cuisine which reflects its multicultural heritage, as well as having an excellent range of bars and clubs to keep even the liveliest holidaymaker occupied. And not being too long a flight to get to from the UK, it is a quick escape for Brits in need of some winter sun.
