Long winter sun break?

I am diabled and very sensitive to the cold. So I thought, instead of paying high bills to BG through the winter, perhaps I could have a long winter break in the sun. I am on my own so keen to avoid single supplements. I love turkey, malta, and spain, but would be happy to consider anywhere at a reasonable price. I would be flying from manchester, dates flexible.

Any suggestions welcome

Thanks

    I want to go for about 28 days.

    I can travel any time after 4th October through to mid December.

    Pricewise, I'd like all inclusive and can go to £1000 for that.

    Otherwise, half board, around £600

    Thanks
