Wondering how to unwind after all the Christmas chaos? A holiday, of course! At Jet2 HQ, dry January is all about heading off in search of warmer climes and sunnier skies. So, we’ve rounded up some of the toastiest destinations, where you can leave your brolly at home and enjoy a well-earned break. Wanting to avoid alcohol? We’ve scouted out some of the best places for mocktails too!

Gran Canaria

Average January temperature: 21°

Winter warmth is Gran Canaria’s specialty, so ditch the scarves and grab the suncream. Whether you spend your days cycling across volcanic landscapes, pottering around local villages or simply kicking back on golden shores, there’s plenty to see and do. Vast sand dunes, upmarket resorts and bang-for-your-buck restaurants add to the appeal.

Best spot for mocktails: Tipsy Hammock, Playa del Ingles

This popular pick in Playa del Ingles, right by the beach, does non-alcoholic versions of lots of its cocktails. We’re talking everything from spicy mango mojitos to passion fruit daiquiris.

Madeira

Average January temperature: 18°

Make oh-so-majestic Madeira your choice for a slice of sunshine this January. Aptly nicknamed ‘the island of eternal spring’, you can bask in the rays all year round. Take on the scenic levada walking trails, admire colourful flowers and botanical gardens, and check out the buzzy capital, Funchal.

Best spot for mocktails: Alforno Madeira, Funchal

This Italian restaurant in Funchal is known for its delicious food and zero percent cocktails. Pizzas and piña coladas? Sounds like a perfect evening to us.

Costa Blanca

Average January temperature: 18°

Welcome to the home of bold-and-bright Benidorm! It’s the jolly giant of Brit-hit hotspots, but that’s far from all that’s here. Prefer somewhere more sedate? The former fishing village of Calpe boasts a mystifying marina to walk around. Cycling routes, tucked-away towns and seaside eateries are all here in droves too.

Best spot for mocktails: Tiki Town Beach Club, Benidorm

Pull up a pew and sip on a tee-total tipple at this beachfront bar. The St. Patrick is a fave, made of orange juice, pineapple and kiwi syrup.

Fuerteventura

Average January temperature: 21°

In Fuerteventura, you can expect warm winter temperatures, Caribbean-esque sands and a mix of buzzy and chilled-out resorts. The Corralejo Sand Dunes are a must, though you could go hiking or windsurfing if you’re looking to get active. Shopping centres and local markets offer retail therapy, then later, who’s for cocktails and an evening show?

Best spot for mocktails: Mojito Beach Bar, Corralejo

Most of the bars in Fuerteventura will make any drink from the menu into a mocktail, all you have to do is ask. Mojito Beach Bar is a top pick. Come for the tasty drinks and stay for the fabulous sea views.

Lanzarote

Average January temperature: 21°

Uniquely filled with moon-like vistas that’ll make your jaw drop, Lanzarote’s quite something in the scenery stakes! Timanfaya National Park is an essential, and various César Manrique-designed artworks will draw your eye too. Bronzed bays, verdant vineyards and a whole lot of restaurants and bars await.

Best spot for mocktails: Bar Vali, Costa Teguise

Tucked away in the laidback resort of Costa Teguise, Bar Vali is on the must-visit list among tourists and locals alike. Our boozeless beverage of choice? The Nori. Fizzy lemon, cherry, yuzu and lemon sorbet... sounds delicious!
