Winter sun holidays are an essential trip - at least for your morale - and will give you a large dose of vitamin D and serotonin (the so-called 'happiness hormone') galore. Head for the sun at all costs - but without it costing the earth. Our luxury winter sun holidays comprise oceans, deserts, jungles and islands. Recharge your batteries anywhere from India to the Caribbean, or Chile to Laos.

The Winter Sun Holiday. A Short Play In Two Acts


As the evenings close in and the temperature drops, we at Original Travel brace ourselves for a scenario that goes something like this.

Act 1. Winter. The Original Travel office. The phone rings. Original Traveller: 'Original Travel, XXXXXX speaking, how can I help?' Slightly desperate sounding potential client: 'I need a holiday.' Original Traveller: 'Well you've come to the right place! Did you have anywhere in mind?' Slightly desperate sounding potential client: 'Somewhere hot.'

Scene 2. Still Winter, but a few short weeks later. A beautiful sun-drenched beach. No longer vitamin D deficient Original Travel client: 'This is much, much more like it.'

The End. Cue rapturous applause and bouquets of flowers strewn on the stage.
