The £69 winter trip to one of Europe’s best beaches

What a bargain

Travellers looking for a bit of winter sun can now travel to one of Europe's best beaches for as little as £69.

With the long nights drawing in and frost-bitten mornings becoming a more regular occurrence, many of us are longing for a getaway and a new deal will make it affordable for more of us to do!

The deal which is being offered by Wowcher sees tourists stay in a 4* hotel in Malta and includes return flights from a choice of four airports.

The package is available as a two, three, four, five or seven night stay in a hotel which boasts an infinity pool with amazing views and a spa.

Flights depart from Manchester, London Gatwick, London Luton and London Stanstead.

The Solana Hotel is situated in the lively resort of Bugibba and is not far from several UNESCO World Heritage sights and the beach where the adventurous types can entertain themselves with watersports.

Mellieha beach is just a stones throw away and is often hailed as the best beach in Malta with its long sandy beach and shallow water, perfect for taking a relaxing paddle.

Further up the island, a short drive away is Popeyes Village, the former film set of the 1980s film which has grown into one of Malta's biggest tourist attractions.

Weather permitting, tourists can also take a short boat ride to Gozo, or cruise round Comino and the Blue Lagoon.

Malta is renowned for its amazing scuba diving opportunities in the glorious Mediterranean sea which surrounds the island.

The size of the island means that it is easy to get around on public transport or via hiring a car - the English-style road system makes it less daunting than it sounds.

Prices for the holiday start from as little as £69 dependant on when you choose to go and based on two people sharing.
