Hi everyone,
My husband and I are looking to take our first holiday with our baby (who will be 5 months old) over Xmas & new Year. Sunbathing and the pool is an essential part of the holiday - which we appreciate will have to be adapted with a baby - but can anyone tell me the best destination for heat without having to fly too far? We are looking for a min temp of early 20's during the day.
We've looked at Sharm but the prices really do seem to rocket (over and above other destinations) over Xmas. How do places like the canaries, particularly Lanzarote look over Xmas? I've looked at weather history, but as they take the temp in the shade it can be deceiving!
We are open to suggestions so any advice appreciated.
Thanks

Wherever you go over Xmas/New Year it will be expensive - in the Canary Islands it can sometimes cost more at Xmas than July/August.
Weather in the Canary Islands will be pleasant enough, especially with a young baby. Egypt may be a tiny bit hotter. Cape Verde is a similar flight time to Egypt and a bit further south than the Canaries and Egypt, so will probably be hotter.
Price-wise unless you can wait until just before or after Xmas for your holiday it's going to cost quite a bit! Prices drop dramatically if you fly out straight after New Year or are coming home before Xmas Day.

Cost isn't a huge factor - we are prepared to pay the premium for going at this peak time, it's just that Sharm seemed to particularly rocket compared to other places at the same time of year. The last couple of years we've done either the Middle East or Caribbean but we were looking for a shorter flight time this year.
Thanks again

I have been to the Canaries in January and February and found it was cold at night.Sharm was warm when we were there last December.The prices may come down nearer the time as if the prices are high there wont be as many folk booking.
