Tired of bundling up in layers and scraping ice off your windshield every morning? Let’s face it, winter can be beautiful, but cold winter days can leave us feeling blue. If you’re dreaming of a Vitamin D boost, here are some great destinations to add to your list.
Canary Islands, Spain
The Canary Islands are a popular choice for winter sun-seekers. Located off the coast of Morocco, these Spanish islands are a unique blend of European and African influences, beautiful landscapes, and a mild, pleasant climate year-round. Check out Tenerife and Lanzarote to get the inspiration rolling.
Cape Town, South Africa
Summer in the Southern Hemisphere means winter is the perfect time to visit Cape Town. You can visit iconic sites like Table Mountain and the Cape of Good Hope, explore the nearby Winelands, and enjoy the city’s fantastic food and wine scene. The surrounding area also offers great opportunities for hiking, surfing, and wildlife watching.
The Caribbean
The Caribbean is a classic winter sun destination. It has everything you can dream of: crystal-clear waters, sandy beaches, and laid-back island vibe. Each island has its unique charm, but keep in mind that winter is the high season in the Caribbean, so be prepared for more crowded beaches.
