Winter sun destination is 30C in January and direct flight away from Manchester

Now that the festive season is over, many of us are seeking a respite from the chilly weather.

Fortunately, there's no shortage of destinations offering warm temperatures in January. And one such place to consider is Cancun, Mexico.

The hotspot, favoured by celebrities and influencers, is renowned as one of the globe's top party locations. Numerous visitors take to social media to post pictures of their experiences.

Many visitors like to relax in the sun by day and party well into the night. Expect Las Vegas-style pool parties at beach clubs and resorts, round-the-clock raves, and bars featuring world-renowned DJs.

Head to the Strip at night where you'll find a huge selection of bars and clubs. Happy hour deals, themed nights, and the globally famous Coco Bongo club are tourist favourites.

While some clubs can be on the expensive side particularly if you reserve a table there are plenty of budget-friendly alternatives too. Most local beers are priced under £2, and you can also take advantage of 2 for 1 deals.

But if partying isn't your thing, don't worry. Cancun provides plenty of opportunities for relaxation. Visitors can enjoy beaches with ultra-soft white sand and crystal-clear water.

You can unwind with a book or take part in water activities. Swimming, snorkelling, and boating are among the options for those who prefer an active break. Alternatively, head inland for biking or ziplining.

If you're seeking culture, you're in for a treat. Day trips to the awe-inspiring Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, can be booked, or you could plunge into one of the numerous Cenotes scattered throughout the jungle.
