Although temperatures are due to regularly fall into single figures or below zero for millions living in the UK this month, not everyone will feel the chill.<\/p>\n

Some will be able to fly away for some winter sun and rather than freezing over Christmas will be trying to get a tan.<\/p>\n

Despite the low temperatures, there are plenty of places to get some winter sun this Christmas, including hundreds of areas north of the equator.<\/p>\n

One of those popular destinations is Lanzarote, one of the Canary Islands.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Conde Nast Traveller,\u00a0the island, which sits off\u00a0Africa\u2019s west coast, remains warm enough for people to swim in the ocean in December.<\/p>\n

They recommended avoiding “the package hordes” and heading to Papagayo Beach on the southern tip of the island.<\/p>\n

While Conde Nast has given Lanzarote glowing reviews, they aren’t the only ones and thousands of people have taken to Tripadvisor to praise the island.<\/p>\n

There is a wide range of things for people to see and do including visiting the Marina Rubicon, the Timanfaya National Park, the Jardin de Cactus, and the Cueva de los Verdes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the Timanfaya National Park, one person wrote: We have visited here on numerous occasions and it never fails to be an amazing experience.<\/p>\n

“The whole experience is very worthwhile but the visitor centre is such a history and geological lesson that you need to visit more than once.<\/p>\n

“Definitely recommend a visit here, don’t rush, take your time and immerse yourself in the amazing history of the place.”<\/p>\n
