easyJet Reveals Top Winter Sun Destinations for 2026

easyJet has published its 2026 Winter Sun Holiday Hotlist, revealing the most sought-after sunshine destinations for British and European travellers planning breaks during the colder months. The annual list identifies popular warm-weather locations across the Mediterranean and North Africa that are in high demand for winter travel.

 

According to easyJet’s insights, sun-seekers are increasingly choosing destinations that combine reliable winter climates with cultural experiences, beach leisure and good value flight options. Top entries on the Hotlist include a mix of traditional favourites and emerging spots where travellers can escape lower temperatures at home.

Highlight destinations span a range of regions known for winter sun. Mediterranean islands and coastal cities — especially in Spain, Portugal, Greece and Italy — continue to attract winter holidaymakers looking for relaxed beach days, outdoor dining and historic towns. Meanwhile, warmer climates in North Africa, including popular routes to Marrakech and Egypt, feature prominently for travellers seeking sunshine and adventure beyond Europe.

easyJet says the report also reflects broader travel trends, including increased flexibility in booking patterns, the appeal of short breaks combined with longer stays, and the importance of quality holiday experiences at affordable prices. The airline’s Hotlist provides travellers with inspiration and practical ideas for planning winter escapes with easyJet’s extensive network of flights.

As winter 2026 approaches, easyJet encourages holidaymakers to consider both classic and up-and-coming destinations on the Hotlist, highlighting options that cater to families, couples and solo travellers alike. The airline’s network, which serves many of these warm-weather routes from UK and European airports, supports a wide variety of travel plans throughout the season.
