Our last-minute holiday gift guide that’s sure to impress
December is well underway and, if you’re anything like us, you’re thinking that maybe, just maybe, you should have started your holiday shopping at least a month ago. Our Flynancial Advisors – ahem, the travel pros – not only crush the gift-giving game so good it covers you for the next year, but they also give something more valuable than just another trinket (or ugly holiday sweater). The worker bees themselves have put together a holiday gift guide of all inclusive vacation destinations that’ll give those on your list an experience they’ll cherish for a lifetime!
For the arts afficionado
If you have someone on your list that’s big on arts and culture, loves to show off their Spotify Wrapped or is the first in line at the latest installation, Mazatlán is practically gift wrapped for them! Not only is this a stunning representation of Mexico’s colonial past, but it’s also set on a breathtaking shoreline AND is home to an impressive art scene. Speaking of, there’s an Art Walk they can book that takes them through the downtown core! From strolling the seaside promenade with sculptures by local artists one after the other, to craft stands and museums, apologies in advance for having to listen to your gift recipient go oooon about all their incredible finds (as if it was their idea).
For the one that must do it all
Looking for the perfect gift for the part thrill-seeker and part professional hammock tester in your life? Turns out, it’s not as impossible to shop for them as you thought, not when all inclusive packages in Puerto Plata are this good. Like a stay at Viva Heavens by Wyndham, a boutique resort which is really two gifts in one thanks to the Stay at 1, Play at 2! inclusion giving them free access to the facilities at Viva Tangerine by Wyndham. This Dominican Republic gem is where escapades meet serenity with family friendly and adult only resorts (whatever they’re into) set along the beach, and off the coast, adventures abound with the likes of jungle hikes to hidden waterfalls, dune buggy rides and more.
For the one who deserves a break
We all know someone that would do well with taking their foot off the gas. Help them slow things waaaaay down by giving them the gift of rest and relaxation in Cienfuegos. Time seems to stand still here – and we’re not just talking about the colonial architecture. The locals live one day at a time and don’t let the pressures of the day to day stop them from making every minute count. This less explored Cuban locale is a great option – it’ll help them remember what it’s like to not need coffee to smile. And, they can escape from the big crowds that are often found in Varadero or Havana but still enjoy the same great beaches and city life that make those spots so popular.
For the bougie one in the group
When someone is known for liking the finer things in life, what do you get them? We’d say Aruba fits the bill rather nicely! This island oasis may be small, but so are those little blue boxes they love so much, so instead of another handbag or big-name cologne, show you know what’s good for their soul. Your giftee will get a kick out of the colourful, dollhouse-style buildings in the capital, the breathtaking white-sand beaches and the stunning landscapes of Arikok National Park. And, if shopping is a must, the world-class designer boutiques are ready and willing (fingers crossed you get a thank you gift!). When they’re not strutting the streets or shopping in style, the island’s nightlife and numerous casinos are worth a visit.
The best gifts are the ones that can’t fit in a box (although a Sunwing gift card technically could). Why not treat your loved ones to the experience of an all inclusive vacation this holiday season? – You can also book now and pay later with easy monthly installments thanks to Flex Pay. And don’t forget to treat yourself, too!
