Couple a winter sun destination with a luxurious spa resort and you’re on your way to chasing those winter blues away.
ABAMA Golf & Spa Resort, Tenerife

Known as the ‘Land of the Eternal Spring’, Tenerife rarely dips below the 20°c mark even in winter makes it popular destination for winter sun holidays.
