Where's hot in February
Every destination we track, warmest first, by its average daytime high in February — not the annual average, and not a forecast. Beside each: how long the flight is, which UK airports fly it direct, and the cheapest February fare we have measured.
The winter sun band: Morocco, Egypt, the Canaries, Madeira, Cyprus, Cape Verde and Türkiye.

The short answer
Where is hot in February from the UK?
The warmest places within seven hours of the UK in February are Sal (25°C), Hurghada (24°C) and Sharm el-Sheikh (23°C), going by average daytime highs. Further out, Bangkok (33°C), Phuket (33°C) and Zanzibar (33°C) are the warmest of the long-haul destinations we track. The cheapest February fare we have measured is Sharm el-Sheikh at £123 return from London.
A February fare appears only where one of our searches found its cheapest week in February. Every UK airport is searched across the next six months and kept at its own cheapest week, so a destination without one here had a cheaper week in another month — it is not sold out. Fares were measured on 30 September 2026; the destination guide carries today's fare from every airport.

Not on our boards in February
We stop publishing fares to Mauritius, Paphos, Antalya and Dalaman in February. A cheap fare there that month is cheap for a reason — the weather, the sea, or half the resort shut for the season — and each guide says which.
The rest of the season
Another month
Warm is half of it. The fare is the other.
The winter sun board has today's cheapest fare to every destination on this page, from whichever of ten UK airports has it.
