With the summer season properly and really behind us and the scent of mulled wine popping up from each nook it’s time to shift our concentrate on the upcoming winter and the place we’ll spend our properly earned holidays. In fact there’s the necessary snow-trip to Courchevel, Aspen and even the Lofoten, but when that great pure white frosting isn’t actually excessive up your wish-list, the place can be place to go? Effectively, let’s shortly record up my 5 favorite locations for the upcoming season and see if any of them attraction to you.

1. Torres del Paine, Chile

Having been named the eighth Surprise of the World, it’s a hiker’s paradise however even those who don’t wish to go on these lengthy treks will likely be blissful to spend time on this superb panorama the place the snow capped massif is omnipresent. Glaciers, lakes, rivers, forests,….it’s all there. The truth that it’s nonetheless not overrun by mass-tourism simply provides to the general expertise and the sense of being alone amongst these mountain cathedrals.

And naturally one of the simplest ways to get pleasure from this pure marvel is to remain in one of many luxurious lodges and inns. One in every of my favourites is the Tierra Patagonia which has such a novel structure that the property by itself is already well worth the effort of visiting.

2. Maldives

It shouldn’t come as a shock that I embrace this slice of paradise as for many who’ve already been it’ll be a given, for all others it ought to actually be in your “to-do” record as quickly as attainable. There’s actually no excuse to not go to this tropical archipelago and our winter time is the proper time to take action.

The Maldives is actually a resort galore and there are numerous choices for each price range. That being mentioned, I like among the previous devoted just like the One & Solely Reethi Rah which is positioned a mere half-hour speedboat journey from the worldwide airport of Malé and has all the things you could possibly want for to have an unforgettable keep. Being positioned on one of the stunning personal islands does assist alongside after all.

3. South Africa

A well known vacation spot which has a lot to supply for any sort of traveller. From the wildlife to the superb gastronomy, there may be actually no motive to not just like the  rainbow nation and whereas the entire world loves Cape City (for good motive by the way in which) and believes one of the best time to go on a safari is from June to August, it’s truly a tremendous expertise which could be loved 12 months spherical.

Due to that our winter season is the proper time to benefit from the wildlife in all its abundance and seeing the massive 5 is for many after all the head of a profitable safari. One in every of my favorite areas to identify all these gorgeous animals is on the Sabi Sand Recreation reserve which is understood worldwide as top-of-the-line. And the &Past Tengile River Lodge is the proper place to reinforce the general expertise much more with luxurious suites that make your jaw drop, excellent views over the Sand River and world-class service. A no brainer in my books.

4. Oman

The Sultanate of Oman has lengthy been within the shadow of it’s immensely well-liked neighbour and whereas their location on the Arabian Peninsula may make you consider they’re very comparable, you couldn’t be extra improper. Oman is far more understated but affords the identical luxuries and due to the bigger footprint on the peninsula it’s additionally in a position to supply more room and has an enormous number of pure and historic significance.

Probably the most distinctive locations to remain is the Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar resort which is located proper above a large canyon that gives a dramatical background to many room and offers you the chance to even dine proper on the sting of this pure marvel. It’s actually distinctive and even the late Princess Diana got here right here to benefit from the views and all the things Oman needed to supply.

5. Bora-Bora, French Polynesia

If there’s one tropical island paradise that makes individuals dream away from the second they hear its identify, it’s Bora Bora. Typically it’s in comparison with the Maldives however with the clear differentiation of getting the large Mount Otemanu  that’s towering over the entire atoll and is offering for a number of experiences which could be loved by the visitors of the resorts positioned round it.

You possibly can’t go improper in terms of lodging on this slice of paradise but when I had to choose I wouldn’t doubt going for the St-Regis with its stunning villas (each on land and overwater), excellent f&b retailers and superb experiences for each the adults and the kids.

As you may see, there’s a plethora of choices outdoors of the same old winter locations so it’s only a matter of aligning your journey wishes with the appropriate vacation spot.
