Looking for the sun in winter does not necessarily mean flying to a desert island or to a Carribean resort to catch a tan.

 

Winter holidays can be a great opportunity to embark on a proper journey, discovering new places or trying some new experiences. All you need is a good plan and the time to carry it out.

 

A GREEN VACATION IN THE RAIN FOREST
Nestled in the world’s oldest rainforest, Daintree Ecolodge & Spa, in northern Quuensland, Australia, is an amazing boutique eco-resort with 15 “tree-houses”. Enjoy total pampering in the unique Aboriginal inspired spa.

 

DISCOVERING AYURVEDA IN INDIA
Experiment a true immersion in Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medicine, at Isola di Cocco, a charming Kerala resort surrounded by coconut groves and water residing on the banks of the river Poovar, at the juncture where the tranquil river embraces the roaring Arabian sea.

IN OLD HAVANA
In Cuba, everything is rapidly changing. If you are willing to enjoy what’s left of its authenticity, you’d better do it fast. Historic Hotel Saratoga, in Old Havana, might be a good starting point for discovering the island’s capital.

 

ON THE NARROW STREETS OF ALFAMA
Solar Do Castelo is the only Lisbon hotel within St. George’s Castle walls, overlooking the whole city from its highest hill, in the ancient Alfama neighborhood. Definitely the best starting point for discovering Portugal’s lukewarm atmospheres rocked by the bittersweet fado melodies.

 

AN OASIS IN THE HEART OF THE HOLY CITY
If you have never been to Jerusalem, then Christmas might be the perfect time to do it . besides the charm and the beauty of the city, you will also enjoy the spring-like temperatures. Starting your day with a nice breakfast in the romantic patio of American Colony, a historic hotel in the city center, could be the prelude to an unforgettable experience.
