Beach holiday destinations for November and December

Travelers seeking sun during the late autumn and winter months have several viable options for beach holidays. In November, the Red Sea remains a reliable destination with air temperatures between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius and water temperatures around 25 degrees. Locations such as Hurghada and Marsa Alam offer high sunshine hours and minimal rainfall, with package tours for November 2026 already available.

For those looking for warmer tropical climates, Thailand, the Maldives, and the Dominican Republic provide water temperatures between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius. Within Europe, the Canary Islands serve as a closer option, though temperatures are cooler than the Red Sea.

In December, Tenerife offers milder conditions compared to mainland Europe, though weather varies by region. The southwest area of Adeje sees maximum temperatures around 18.6 degrees Celsius, while the capital, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, averages between 16.1 and 18.3 degrees. Higher elevations, such as Teide National Park, can experience temperatures near freezing and potential snowfall.
