THE LIT TLE BOOK of
WINTER SUNSHINE The ultimate vitamin D supplement
CONTENTS
WINTER , SCHMINTER … Sunshine is good for you, you know. Problem is, there’s going to be a lot less of it around in the coming months. How do you ensure you’re getting a healthy dose of vitamin D when the mercury drops and the sun seems to set before you’ve finished lunch? Here’s your prescription. We’ve packed this booklet with palm-fringed coastal retreats, chic beach escapes and designer desert dwellings in those parts of the world that are still soaked in sun long after Europe has donned its thermals. We won’t just book your hotel, either: our expert team can also arrange your flights and transfers in one easy-peasy package, so all you need to do is dig out your summer gear from the back of the wardrobe and turn up at the airport with a suitcase. (And, as always, every trip is enhanced by a free Smith extra – such as sunset boat trips or massages for two.) So, consider this your guide to where to go when this winter, but should you need more inspiration, don’t hesitate to ring 0300 100 3180 – one of the specialists on our 24/7 Travel Team will be happy to help find your perfect holiday hotspot. Hello winter. Hello sunshine.
