#1
For a vacation that’s brimming with nature, culture and incredible cuisine, turn to Vietnam and Cambodia. You can zip around Hanoi on a bike tour and spend the night on a traditional junk boat in Halong Bay. Siem Reap is then just a short flight away, where you can explore the intricate jungle temple complexes of the iconic Angkor Wat and Ankor Thom. For a luxurious end to the year, voyaging south is a must, so you can ring in the new year on a private island in the South China Sea.
#2
Located just off the southern tip of India, the stunning tropical island of Sri Lanka is ideal for a laid back vacation with plenty of time outdoors. You can explore lush tea plantations and scenic seaside towns, or spend a day with binoculars in hand, spotting leopards and elephants on an incredible safari experience. The glittering blue lagoons and endless beaches of the Maldives are also only a short flight away, where you can unwind in the privacy of an over-water villa.

South Africa is an ideal choice for a first time safari with the family. A majority of the trips have the option of lodge accommodation, and most parks also have fenced areas instead of open-roaming. South Africa has a never-ending list of other activities to offer too – a highlight being an excursion to Cape Point. Here you can hike trails, and explore the caves, rockpools, and sandy beaches of the national park – all while keeping an eye out for whales, dolphins, and seals that call this area home.
#4
Fully booked for 2023 - Plan now for 2024
Reykjavik's cultural and culinary scenes rival plenty of European capitals, while the otherworldly landscapes and plethora of outdoor activities make it an incredible choice for a getaway. You can spend a few days exploring the culture of Reykjavik, before seeing Iceland from new heights with a flight over an active volcano, bathing in the thermal pools, or trekking across soaring glaciers. Visiting in winter also means you’ll stand the best chance of catching the elusive, breathtaking Northern Lights.

With a moderate climate and laidback lifestyle, Costa Rica is ideal for anyone seeking a nature-rich family vacation. The Springs Resort & Spa, Arenal, means you can enjoy 5 star luxury, while exploring the lush rainforest and natural hot springs at the foot of the country’s most famous active volcano. Four Seasons Papagayo on the Papagayo Peninsula also has every activity covered, with natural trails winding around the property, guided mountain biking trips and wildlife spotting excursions.
