Where’s Wanderlust-Worthy This Winter?

As the days get shorter and the jumpers come out, that urge to swap grey skies for sunshine feels stronger than ever.

Whether you’re dreaming of white-sand beaches, once-in-a-lifetime adventures, or a short-haul escape that still feels special, there’s no shortage of winter wanderlust waiting to be explored.

Here are a few of the destinations I’m loving right now... all personally chosen for their weather, wow-factor, and that unmistakable holiday feeling.

☀️ For guaranteed sunshine

If you’re looking for warmth without the worry, these destinations deliver every time.

The Maldives – Calm lagoons, overwater villas, and barefoot luxury at its finest. The perfect place to do absolutely nothing — beautifully.

Dubai – Think rooftop sunsets, glamorous beach clubs, and five-star hotels that cater to both couples and families. Sunshine is guaranteed; so is that “I can’t believe we’re here” moment.

Mauritius – Fringed by coral reefs and backed by emerald peaks, this Indian Ocean gem is ideal for winter escapes. It’s relaxed, romantic, and refreshingly unspoilt.

🌸 Closer-to-home escapes

You don’t always have to go long-haul to find the sunshine. These short-haul favourites are perfect for a quick reset.

Madeira – Dramatic cliffs, botanical gardens, and ocean-view hotels make this Portuguese island a year-round winner.

The Canary Islands – With warm weather even in December, this is a classic for good reason. From the volcanic beauty of Lanzarote to the family-friendly resorts of Tenerife, there’s something for everyone.

🏝️ For a little adventure

If you want your winter break to come with a story to tell, these destinations add a dash of culture and exploration to the mix.

Oman – Fast becoming one of my new obsessions, Oman is where golden deserts meet turquoise coastlines. Stay at The Chedi Muscat for pure understated elegance and add a private Wadi Shab adventure for something truly unforgettable.

Thailand – From the buzzing streets of Bangkok to the calm of Krabi’s beaches, Thailand’s winter season is picture-perfect. Think longtail boats, temples, and cocktails at sunset.

💫 Where my clients are heading right now

Right now, I’m booking couples for the Maldives, families off to Tenerife, and honeymooners mixing Oman and the Maldives for the best of both worlds. Every trip is tailor-made, and no two holidays are ever the same... that’s the joy of personal travel planning.
