Winter warmers in the Canary Islands
– it's not too late to book

With Christmas less than a month away, and the weather having turned distinctly autumnal, those warm days of summer seem nothing but a distant memory, but you don't have to wait until next summer to feel the warmth of the sun again. With their famously mild, year-round climate, the Canary Islands are perfect for a break from the bleakness of the British winter and offer a host of different attractions to appeal to all tastes. At just four hours' flying distance from the UK, you can stroll along the vast sandy beaches of Fuerteventura, marvel at the striking volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, go hiking through ancient forests on La Gomera, discover Spain's highest mountain on Tenerife, immerse yourself in Gran Canaria's bustling capital city Las Palmas, potter around charming towns and villages on La Palma, or simply escape from it all in a rural cottage on El Hierro.

As in all our destinations, our programme in the Canary Islands is aimed at travellers seeking a more relaxing and authentic holiday experience, so we focus on smaller properties with individual character in quieter locations instead of the large hotel complexes in the busy mainstream resorts. All our holidays are tailor-made, and we specialise in bespoke itineraries and multi-centre holidays, so if you are keen to explore more than one island, or different regions of the same island, we'll be happy to talk you through the options.

The Canaries' well-deserved popularity as a winter-sun destination, not just amongst the British but for holidaymakers from all over Europe, means that availability is already quite limited for much of the winter season, especially for the quieter locations and more personal accommodation options that we specialise in. If you are keen to book a winter break over the coming weeks and months, we strongly recommend doing so sooner rather than later. Simply call us on 020 8847 8700 with your requirements, and we'll do our best to find suitable options for you.

Plan ahead for Summer 2023

If, on the other hand, you are planning further ahead for next year's summer season, it's never too early to reserve your preferred spot in Turkey, Crete or the smaller Greek islands of Samos, Ikaria, Fourni, Chios and Kythira. We are still working on finalising our 2023 prices with our accommodation partners in the Mediterranean and will be updating our website with these in due course, but if you have a particular holiday in mind in the meantime, please contact us on 020 8847 8700 or by email for a quote. This summer, the combination of pent-up demand from travellers and a lack of flight capacity following the pandemic led to airfares rising steeply throughout the season, and a similar scenario is already emerging for next year, so booking early is a good way to avoid any likely price increases.

Book now for our Guided Walking Weeks and small-group tours in Turkey

Based at our exclusive Mandarin & Mango Boutique Hotels and ably led by our own Managing Director, Ghislain, our guided Walking Weeks are a wonderful way not just to explore the scenic coastal and mountain trails of this unspoilt corner of southwest Turkey, but to discover historic sites and learn about local culture and customs along the way. Next year's walking weeks are scheduled to run from 11 April and 18 April to showcase the splendid countryside at its most verdant, and with spaces limited to just eight participants per group, early booking is highly recommended.

For those keen to explore other regions of Turkey, we have also set the dates for our escorted tours The Turkish Triangle in late April, The Cradle of Civilisation in June, and Journey to the Edge of History in July, as well as our special interest weeks focussing on Photography, Turkish Cuisine and Argentine Tango.

To discuss any of our holidays in more detail or to enquire about making a booking, please call us on 020 8847 8700 or get in touch via email info@cachet-travel.co.uk. We look forward to hearing from you!
