Why choose a long stay this winter?

A long stay is a two- to three-week trip in one place, with the essentials arranged in advance. You settle in, slow down and experience the destination like a resident rather than a rushed tourist.

Live like a local
The morning market, the late-afternoon beach, the little restaurant around the corner: within days you have your routines and the destination starts to feel like yours.
More sun for every dollar
The longer you stay, the better the cost per night. In Malta, 20 nights start at $1,840 per person, under $100 a night.
Escorted, if you like
In Costa Rica and Colombia, English- and French-speaking tour escorts are on site. In Tenerife, a bilingual tour escort joins the group once it reaches 20 participants.
A shorter Québec winter
Leaving in February or March cuts winter short by several weeks. Accommodation, transfers and included tours are all arranged before you even leave.
