To ask where would you go in late February if you're broke and want sun?

Ive got a milestone birthday and have decided I would like to take myself off and spend a week doing something ive never done which is a beach holiday. Obviously I've been on holidays that have had some beach action, but I've always had either active or more kind of culture focused holidays. I want to go and spend a week doing the whole all inclusive thing somewhere beautiful where I literally just swim, eat, sleep and reflect on my life choices to date 😂
Its a shame my birthday is in February because Ive never been to Greece and always wanted to go but I think February will be too cold?
My only criteria is:

  • Cheap
  • Not trashy

Ideas???!

Unless you want quite a long flight, Canary Islands or Morocco might be your best bet for warmth and sun at that time of year.

If you’re happy to go further, Thailand/Malaysia/Vietnam spring to mind.

Canary Islands? I have a soft spot for Lanzarote.
