Escape the ordinary this winter to more destinations than you realise, direct from Cardiff Airport.
Cancun
Cardiff Airport proudly introduces two new direct routes that bring five-star adventure closer than ever before. Whether you’re drawn to Cancún’s vibrant Caribbean allure or Fuerteventura’s golden, wind-swept charm, your next extraordinary escape begins right here in south Wales.
Cancún, Mexico
Cancún isn’t just a destination, it’s an experience of pure indulgence and ancient wonder. Once a hidden paradise, it’s now the crown jewel of Mexico’s Riviera Maya, where white sands, turquoise seas, and five-star resorts redefine relaxation.
Wake to the sound of the Caribbean surf, unwind in infinity pools framed by palms, and dine beneath the stars on world-class cuisine prepared by celebrated chefs. Mexico’s culinary scene is a journey of flavour.
Beyond the luxury lies a story thousands of years in the making. Step into the world of the ancient Maya at Chichen Itza, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where the Temple of Kukulkan aligns perfectly with the sun. Wander through Tulum, a cliffside city where stone temples overlook turquoise waves and dive deep into Mexico’s soul with a swim in pools once used in ancient rituals.
For those who crave connection with nature, Cancún offers some of the most breathtaking marine encounters in the Caribbean.
Swim alongside dolphins, snorkel with sea turtles, or dive among vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical fish. Conservation-led tours offer the chance to experience this oceanic paradise responsibly, with expert guides ensuring each encounter supports the protection of marine life for generations to come.
Fly direct from Cardiff to Cancún, Mexico, from 23 March 2026.
Fuerteventura, Canary Islands: The “Mini Maldives” of Europe
Closer to home but worlds away from the everyday, Fuerteventura is the Canary Island that embodies luxury. With over 210 miles of golden beaches, rolling volcanic dunes, and crystal-clear Atlantic waters, it’s a haven for those who find freedom in the wind and waves.
Known as the “Mini Maldives”, this UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve offers both tranquillity and thrill. Its gentle winds and calm turquoise lagoons make it a world-class destination for windsurfing, kitesurfing, and paddleboarding.
Whether you’re gliding across the waves or relaxing on soft sands with a chilled drink in hand, Fuerteventura captures the essence of effortless elegance.
For those who prefer to explore beneath the surface, the island’s coastal shelf creates Caribbean-like shallows that are perfect for snorkelling among shoals of colourful fish, playful dolphins, and graceful sea turtles. Inland, explore whitewashed villages, local markets, and family-run restaurants where Canarian cuisine shines, from fresh grilled fish and wrinkled potatoes with spicy mojo sauce.
As the sun sets, unwind in boutique seaside hotels or luxurious eco-retreats, each designed to blend seamlessly with the island’s serene landscape. Whether you’re chasing the wind, the waves, or a little wellness, Fuerteventura offers a slower rhythm of indulgence, where nature and luxury live side by side.
