USA - the best winter destinations

Tuscon ("Seduced by a searing desert sun") is far from the only place in the United States that can be warm, sunny and uplifting at this time of year. Here are some other ideas for enticing all-American winter-sun breaks – at least, based on normal weather conditions.

Florida has been experiencing weather as abnormally cold as we have in Britain. Earlier this month, snow flurries were spotted around Orlando and record low near-freezing temperatures were recorded in Miami. Prices for the packages below are, unless otherwise stated, per person for a week in February, based on two sharing the cheapest type of room, and include return economy flight.


Miami and Key West
The winter months are high season in subtropical southern Florida, when “snowbirds” descend in large numbers from the northern US and Canada to bask in temperatures that usually reach around 73-79F (23-26C) in the daytime and 60-65F (16-18C) at night. Miami’s big draw is South Beach, home to fabulous Art Deco hotels and intense nightlife. Sports fans might want to time their visit to see the NFL Superbowl, which takes place on February 7 at Dolphin Stadium. Add on a few days in Key West: a three-hour drive from Miami along US Highway 1, the southernmost settlement in the US has a beguilingly laid-back lifestyle.
