Holiday in Feb

Hi there, I am looking to go on holiday for a week in Feb. Can anyone recommend somewhere nice and warm/hot. Don't really want to fly too far as the missus is pregnant. Somewhere that would be reasonably priced at that time of the year.

thanks

    We had a smashing holiday in Benidorm in Feb some years ago. The weather was lovely and almost all of the hotels are full board which is handy for people who tend to stay around the local area. People knock Benidorm but for winter holidays it's good. You would find that many older people are there then as the prices are cheaper - or used to be. I booked the hotel myself for me and OH + daughter and grandsons and all were impressed with hotel (Melia Benidorm). You can see all details of this on the Melia Sol Website.

    The Canaries are warm in Feb too, around 70deg.

    The canary islands are the only place in europe to go for reasonable warm weather in Feb.Average 21c.If your budget will stretch, try sharm in Egypt where it is a bit warmer than the canaries.

  • Sharm El Sheikh is lovely in February! Not sure how cheap the flights are but some good deals on nice hotels at this time of year.

    .... ooops neil40 beat me to it!

    We went to Dubai last February when I was 16 weeks pregnant. Perfect weather and the flight is about 7 hours which I coped with fine. Flights were £256 each and although we stayed with a friend I'm sure there are plenty of hotel deals to be had.
