With the highly anticipated release of our 2023-2024 winter schedule (if we do say so ourselves), featuring service from 23 Canadian airports to 26 destinations in para-para-paradise, it’s hard not to get excited about a winter all inclusive vacation. And we’re in the thick of summer, so that’s saying something! We’re always looking to add more sun to our lives, so here are some of the destinations and resorts where the sun never sets on summer, even during Canadian winters! Read on to find out if your dream destination made the list.

Life’s just beach-y in Antigua

With more stunning stretches of shore than its Caribbean counterparts and dramatic coves that used to shelter pirates but now make for incredible swimming and snorkelling, Antigua is the destination for beach getaways. Coastal explorers will fall in love with white, pink, gold and black sands – not to mention the crystal-clear waters of the West Indies. The best part? They’re only a few kilometres apart so you can hit up more than one in a day (there are 365, so pace yourself)! There are also plenty of all inclusive resorts to book but for our money, we’re staying at Pineapple Beach Club Antigua, set on the less crowded eastern shores and near one of its (other) most impressive natural attractions, Devil’s Bridge!

Sunny days are all the rage in Saint Lucia

If we’re talkin’ island paradise, Saint Lucia has got to be in the convo as one of the most beautiful. Palm-lined beaches? Check. Lush landscapes? Check. Jungle waterfalls and eco-adventures. You get the idea; we can go on and on. While it offers natural beauty that will make even bigger Caribbean islands blush, it also imbues down-to-earth vibes, a culture as humble as it is rich and colourful, and opportunities to explore everything that makes Saint Lucia unique. With so much to discover, you’ll find plenty of luxury tucked away in this natural wonder. On the astounding shores of Rodney Bay sits The SoCo House, an adults only boutique resort blending South Beach style with rustic French Creole architecture and personalized service for a stay you won’t soon forget!

Cuba’s little-known gem packs big vacation fun

It’s a well-known fact that Canadians love Cuba. With spectacular beaches, rich history and some incredible package prices, what’s not to love? Located on the southeastern shores of the island, Manzanillo de Cuba is blessed with some of the hottest temperatures across the island, so make sure to pack plenty of SPF. The destination is also a must-see for those who love a little eco-adventure and they’ll find it at Sierra Maestra National Park. At the base of the mountains lies Marea del Portillo beach featuring uniquely dark sands and calm waters that are perfect for families with young kids. Get the best of both worlds at Club Amigo Marea del Portillo, surrounded by the majestic mountain landscapes with tons of fun right on site.

West Coast (Mexico) love is what we’re all about

If Puerto Vallarta has been on your vacay wish list then we’ve got good news! This stunning locale and others on Mexico’s Pacific Coast are available to Western and Central Canadians from smaller gateways this winter on board Sunwing Airlines. This destination delivers the ultimate paradise trifecta – fantastic beaches, incredible culture and a delicious food scene we’re hungry already). You can experience it all when you stay at the stylish Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa near downtown Vallarta. Enjoy dream all inclusive stays with plenty of exciting activities, tasty on-site dining and the sands of your dreams just steps from your room and minutes from everything this incredible destination has to offer, from the Malecon to probably the best tacos you’ll ever have!

The more ways to get to Puerto Plata, the better

We know how much you love paradise, so we’re making it easier for you to get to one of our top destinations in the tropics with more flights to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Plata! Located on the island’s northern shores, Puerto Plata doesn’t hold back when it comes to tropical beauty! We’re talking golden-sand beaches with swaying palm trees, lush mountains in the background and rainforest landscapes hiding wonders like the Damajagua Waterfalls! If you like a splash of culture during your Caribbean getaway, dive into the history of the city and its colonial past. At the ideally situated Senator Puerto Plata Spa Resort, tucked between the foothills and golden coast, you’ll see why we’ve added more flights to this oasis. See you on board!
