Winter is here along with its bitter cold. If you’re sick of freezing your butt off and daydreams of warm weather fill your mind, consider this list of places to go to escape the cold.
The UAE
First up for places to go to escape the cold, considering planning a trip to the United Arab Emirates. Gulf countries like the UAE have brutal heat and humidity most of the year, but during the winter things cool off significantly.
You can find beautiful beaches and warm waters around the country, and UAE cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi are some of the most luxurious places to visit in the Middle East and the world.
Australia
Australia is another great option if you’re looking for places to go to escape the cold.
The country is massive and as a result its weather varies greatly depending on where you go, but don’t worry because there are still warm beaches to be found.
Head to places like Booti Booti National Park or Shoal Bay for warm sand and weather in Australia even in January, but just be sure to check the forecast so you dodge the rain.
Mexico
Mexico is famous as a tropical escape when winter rolls around in North America and elsewhere. If you’re looking for places to go to escape the cold definitely consider Mexico.
Cancun, Cabo San Lucas and Zihuantanejo are some of the most popular cities to visit and have plenty of luxurious resorts to choose from.
But like Australia, be sure to check the weather forecast so you don’t get rained out.
South Africa
Next up on this list of places to go to escape the cold is South Africa.
South Africa’s weather varies according to the region but the capital city Cape Town is perfectly warm in January.
It’s also one of the best surfing cities in the world, so head here if you’re looking for water sports with your winter escape.
The Philippines
January is the perfect time to visit the Philippines because the weather cools off and dries out.
Consider this archipelago as another great option for tropical beaches and sun that will help you forget about the freezing cold and potential snow back home
