Where to go for winter sun - and why

The Caribbean for singles

Grenada

Ditch the Dominican Republic crowds and pamper yourself on this laidback tropical spice island instead. Monarch launched new charter flights in December, and this February, the island celebrates its 35th anniversary of independence from the British so expect plenty of Caribbean-style rum punch festivities. Singles in search of rejuvenation might like to check out LaSource spa resort (www.theamazingholiday.com). It's a bit of a credit-card treat but, as well as ‘the ultimate head rest', you can also expect nightly group cocktail hours, a singles dinner table so you don't have to dine alone and group activities from tai chi and yoga to sailing and diving. There are also limo transfers and no single room supplements if you book direct.

Getting there: Tropical Sky (www.tropicalsky.co.uk) has all-inc seven nights at La Source for £1,499. Also try Just Grenada (01373 814214; www.justgrenada.co.uk) and Monarch Holidays (www.holidays.monarch.co.uk), which has packages from £722 pp.
