One of the most popular New Year’s resolutions is to travel more. Traveling is definitely one of the best gifts you can give to your loved ones, and to yourself as well. The holiday season has begun, and with that, we are so in the mood to pack our bags!
If you are not the biggest fan of the winter holidays, you do not have to wait for July to have an awesome (and warm) vacation. In this article, we will help you get inspired for a luxury holiday in the South Pacific. Hint: it is summer there, so pack up your summer gear and hurry!
Australia
The green queen of summer vacations in winter! In this gorgeous country, summer starts on the 1st of December. Perfect for all of you who would gladly sleep through the winters in the Northern hemisphere.
From the beautiful scenery, wild animals, and breathtaking water, to a rich culture and urban life in big cities – Australia has it all. We suggest you make a “to see” list because there is so much to experience there.
Check which landmarks in Australia and Oceania you would want to see, and do not forget to try surfing! You can opt for a guided tour, or be your own tour guide. Be prepared for crowds though, Australia is a pretty popular winter destination for tourists from all over the world.
Bora-Bora
This postcard gorgeous heaven-on-earth destination is for sure one at the top of our list. Famous for its tropical climate, Bora Bora has wonderful weather all around the year. But, as it also belongs to the Southern Hemisphere, the summer months begin in December.
Technically, Bora Bora has two seasons, a dry one and one with tropical rain. The winter season is usually dry, so if you are not the biggest fan of rain, we suggest you visit during the dry season (from October to May).
Bora Bora is often associated with luxurious hotels and resorts, but even if you are on a budget you can find good deals on overwater bungalows there.
Nature looks almost unreal with all the colors, palm trees, and water so clear you can see right through it. If you’re in the mood for sipping cocktails on the beach and just enjoying life, Bora Bora is our suggestion for you.
Fiji
One of the most popular islands in the South Pacific still managed to keep that authentic exotic vibe. Fiji is a tremendous place to be all year round, but if you have to pick when, go with the May to October period. This period tends to be drier.
Similar to Bora Bora, Fiji is something we all imagine when we are talking about a tropical paradise. Exotic nature with animals, beautiful water, the sun, and sandy beaches… What more to wish for?
Do not skip a chance to experience this island, even if you think your budget could not handle it. Look for serviced apartment deals online, invest a bit of time to research and you can find more affordable accommodation than some offered by hotels and resorts.
We hope this article inspired you for your next holiday. Planning and daydreaming about the holiday are also fun parts of traveling. A friendly suggestion when visiting exotic places – read about the local culture before you travel. It is going to make you more comfortable to partake in the daily life of the place. Have fun on your next holiday, and travel safely.
