Maafushivaru in the Maldives is the new hotspot for celebrity honeymoons and pure escapism. November to March is a great time to perfect your tan in paradise and we highly recommend dinner on Maafushivaru’s deserted sister island.
A direct flight has seen interest rise in the Philippines, as this archipelago of more than 7000 islands is easier to reach than ever. Our picks include remote retreats oozing luxury, such as Huma Island Resort & Spa, best visited in February and March.
Authentic experiences are trending and our Temple, Tiger and Taj Trail tour of India is filling up fast for the 15 March 2016 departure, which centres around Holi, the vibrant Festival of Colours. March is a great time for an India escorted tour, as the weather is cooler and the humidity less stuffy.
We’ve seen Cuba soar in popularity and Havana is high on most people’s wishlist. Old Havana is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and bursting with atmosphere, history and colour. Visit in March for perfect touring temperatures and blue skies.
More intimate, personal and charming, boutique hotels are booming in popularity and we’ve picked the best of the best. We also offer boutique stays exclusive to our guests in the UK, including Le Cardinal in Mauritius where all of the 13 suites and penthouses offer incredible sea views.
The east coast of Sri lanka is up-and-coming and its relatively undiscovered beaches (the best on the island in our opinion) have been hard to reach until now. A new small plane transfer means you’ll arrive at beach heaven in no time, so visit in March before everyone else hears about it.
December is the perfect time to head to Australia and embrace the summer sunshine. Make sure you’re in Sydney for New Year’s Eve to watch one of the most epic fireworks displays in the world.
Post-Christmas lows can’t possibly hit you when you’re relaxing on a picture-perfect beach holiday in Krabi, Phuket or Koh Lanta in Thailand. Join smart travellers planning now to spend January in the sunshine.
