+1 (587) 287 1191Best Winter Sun Destinations from Canada
By Fond Travels · Updated September 22, 2026
When winter closes in across Canada, the sun is only a flight away — and now is the time to book. Canadians reserve their December-to-March escapes in the fall, and the best resorts and fares go early. Whether you fly from Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal or Edmonton, here are the best winter sun destinations from Canada for 2026–27, with flights and all-inclusive packages arranged in Canadian Dollars.
The classic sun escapes (short flights, big value)
- Cancún & the Riviera Maya, Mexico — Canada's number-one winter escape, with the widest choice of all-inclusive resorts and frequent direct flights. See flights to Cancún.
- Punta Cana, Dominican Republic — endless Caribbean beaches and family-friendly all-inclusives at great value.
- Los Cabos & Puerto Vallarta, Mexico — beaches, golf and desert scenery on the Pacific side.
- Montego Bay & Negril, Jamaica — reggae, jerk cuisine and long white beaches.
- Aruba, Barbados & the southern Caribbean — reliably dry and sunny even in peak winter.
For nature and adventure lovers
Costa Rica is the winter-sun pick for travellers who want more than a beach — rainforests, volcanoes, wildlife and two coastlines, all in the December-to-April dry season. See our Costa Rica vacation packages.
The European winter-sun secret
Few Canadians realise that the Canary Islands (Tenerife and the rest) stay warm and sunny all winter, pairing beach days with European food and culture. See our Europe beach packages.
Further afield: winter sun with a difference
- Dubai & the UAE — October to April is Dubai's best season; sun, beaches and city glamour. See Dubai packages.
- Thailand & Bali — the dry season lines up perfectly with the Canadian winter for a long-haul beach escape. See Thailand and Bali.
Why book your winter escape with a travel agent
Bundling your flight with an all-inclusive resort is almost always cheaper than booking separately, and an IATA-accredited agent gives you real, unpublished package prices, the right resort for your budget, and a real person on the phone if anything changes. We handle the whole trip in CAD with no hidden fees.
