Long Stay & Snowbird Vacations from Canada

Why settle for a week when you can spend the winter in the sun? A long stay lets you escape the Canadian cold for weeks or months at a time — living in an apartment with a kitchenette, shopping the local market, and travelling at your own pace instead of rushing a one-week trip. Fond Travels, an IATA-accredited Calgary travel agency, pairs your flights with the right apartment-style stay and books it all in one call, in Canadian Dollars, with our best unpublished long-stay rates by phone.

Call our specialists at +1 (587) 287 1191 and we’ll build your snowbird escape around your dates and budget — two weeks or three months, one destination or a combination, 8 AM–9 PM, 7 days.

Popular long stay destinations from Canada

• Costa del Sol (Spain) — Málaga, Marbella and Fuengirola, the classic European winter-sun coast.
• Tenerife (Canary Islands) — the warmest European winters, weeks of spring-like sun.
• Algarve (Portugal) — golden cliffs, mild winters and great value in Lagos and Albufeira.
• Varadero (Cuba) — an easy, well-priced all-inclusive or apartment winter on the beach.
• Puerto Vallarta (Mexico) — the snowbird capital of Mexico’s Pacific coast, with easy direct flights.
• Thailand — the best value of all, from Chiang Mai to Phuket for a longer winter.
• Bali — villas, wellness and warm tropical living at great value.

Why a long stay makes sense

• Better value — weekly and monthly apartment rates beat nightly hotel prices.
• Live like a local — a kitchenette, a neighbourhood and time to actually relax.
• Escape the whole winter — one flight, one base, months of sun.
• Flexible — stay put or use it as a base to explore the region.
