The clocks changed, November came, and temperatures have well and truly dropped. What better time to hop on a plane and land on a tropical island or climb aboard a cruise and experience luxury on foreign waters.
From romance in the Maldives and wildlife in the Falklands to sailing through the Caribbean and nothing but relaxation in Bali, we’ve found some of the best escapes to book for some winter sun — with some incredible discounts, too.
Experience the beauty of the Caribbean in utter luxury
(Sandals)
Head to the Caribbean and take your pick from Sandals Resorts’ 17 luxury and adults-only destinations. This collection is soon to be 18 — be one of the first to experience modern comforts at Sandals Saint Vincent and The Grenadines, opening in March 2024. Tucked away in its own private cove and bordered by lush forest, here you can see the only black coral in the world, at Ancher Reef. Can’t wait until March? Consider a stay at Sandals Dunn’s River, which opened in May on the north coast of Jamaica near serene forests, breathtaking waterfalls and idyllic beaches. Or Sandals Royal Curaҫao, which opened in June 2022, nestled on a tiny island in the Leeward Antilles where awe-inspiring nature meets the azure ocean. And not only does Sandals have over 40 years of experience offering luxury all-inclusive holidays, but it’s been voted the world’s leading all-inclusive resort at the World Travel Awards for the past 27 years.
