1. Whistler/ Hawaii Twin Centre:

Whistler & HawaiiPerhaps the ultimate ski trip combining skiing at one of the greatest ski resorts in the world with the sunshine on one of Hawaii's beautiful islands. From £1,950 pp for 7 nights at each location including flights, transfers and 4* accommodation.

Other luxury Ski & Sun combinations are available - it is very easy to couple most of the US resorts with Florida or San Diego (direct flights home) and it's affordable - from £1200 pp for a 14 night holiday. Barbados and Cancun in the Caribbean are also relatively easy to add to an itinerary if you are looking for something more exotic, but the hotels are more expensive so you will need to budget £2000 pp upwards.
