After the extra expense of Christmas, splurging on an expensive holiday might not be at the top of your list. However, even with a smaller budget, numerous destinations worldwide can offer an affordable winter escape.

One of these is the coastal city of Miami, in the US state of Florida, offering all-inclusive deals to suit most budgets, with some options even cheaper than a European getaway. The vibrant city is an idyllic destination to bask in some winter sunshine with highs of around 25C in January and lows of around 15C - vastly beating the brisk temperatures in the UK.

One of its desirable features is its catalogue of famous sprawling white-sand beaches, lined with tropical palm trees, and warm, turquoise waters. Some of the most popular shores include the iconic South Beach and Sunny Isles Beach, as well as Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park.

Vizcaya Gardens and Biscayne National Park offer tranquil spaces to experience Miami's natural beauty, while visitors can immerse themselves in Cuban culture in Little Havana. Boat trips are available from Bayside Marketplace for a day on the serene blue waters, before the impressive skyline lights up the sky by night.

Elsewhere, holidaymakers can immerse themselves in the culturally rich city, which is influenced by Latin America, the Caribbean, and the United States, reflected in its food, art, and music. Notable attractions for those with an eye for art include the Art Deco architecture in South Beach and the Wynwood Walls.

One holidaymaker reflected on their time at the Wynwood Walls and wrote on TripAdvisor: "I have been to Miami a few times. One place I always come back to is Wynwood Walls. A world-renowned museum dedicated to street art, leaving an indelible mark on the world of contemporary art. A cultural landmark redefining modern art, elevating the careers of groundbreaking artists.

"Wynwood Walls features cutting-edge works from leading fine artists, graffiti writers and muralists from around the world. The curated, outdoor museum is designed to evolve, with new works regularly painted over previous ones."

While a trip to Miami might seem like an expensive choice, package deals on Booking.comstart from around £634. That includes a four-night stay at the Catalina Hotel & Beach Club for two adults, with flights from London. However, there is a lengthy list of all-inclusive resorts to choose from, dotted along the gorgeous Miami coast.

Holidaymakers who have visited Miami couldn't praise it highly enough, with one noting their experience at Little Havana. They shared: "Nothing disappoints when walking the strip. Full of history, local food, art, bars and music. Stop by a cigar shop and see how they roll, or grab a drink at a bar, and people-watch. Drinks are very reasonably priced, and some have all-day HH.

"Local vendor grubs are spot on. Some locations are not kid-friendly, but there are a few ice cream shops that cater for the little ones. Cigars and bars do not allow minors. Very enjoyable area, a must when in Miami. We toured this on our own."
