Beyond Cancún: Underrated Warm Escapes from Canada

Beyond Cancún: Underrated Warm Escapes from Canada

By Fond Travels · Updated September 25, 2026

Love the sun but want something more than another resort strip? These warm escapes give Canadians the beach and something extra — culture, reefs, rainforest or a real sense of place — and we package every one in CAD.

1. Cartagena, Colombia

A golden, walled colonial city on the Caribbean coast, wrapped around beaches and island day trips. Romantic, characterful and fast-rising. See our Cartagena packages.

2. Belize

The only English-speaking country in Central America, with the world's second-largest barrier reef, laid-back cayes and Maya ruins in the jungle. See Belize packages.

3. Roatán, Honduras

A Caribbean island on the Mesoamerican Reef — one of the best and most affordable places to snorkel, dive or get certified. See Roatán packages.

4. Panama

Two oceans, the famous Canal, rainforest and the island beaches of Bocas del Toro and San Blas. See Panama packages.

5. Costa Rica

Rainforests, volcanoes, wildlife and two coastlines of beaches — the original eco-adventure escape. See Costa Rica packages.

6. The southern Caribbean: Aruba & Barbados

Dependable, dry sun below the hurricane belt in Aruba, and Platinum-coast beaches and reefs in Barbados.

Ready for something different this winter? Tell us your dates and what you're after — beach, reef, culture or all three — and our Calgary team will build it in CAD. Call +1 (587) 287 1191, 8 AM–9 PM, 7 days, or browse our Caribbean and South & Central America packages.
