Perfect journeys from December to March…
If you're after a cultural 2020 winter escape, nothing beats Sri Lanka's historic forts and temples, peaceful tea plantations and palm-fringed fishing beaches. Add another dimension to your trip by following the Geoffrey Bawa pilgrimage route by staying in and visiting the great man’s architectural treasures, or for families who want a bit of adventure, we recommend our 'If Tarzan went to Sri Lanka' tour.
North and South India are perfect if you’re hankering after a dose of even headier exoticism with your winter sunshine. From her balmy backwaters beaches, exquisite forts and palaces, to her vibrant people and colourful saris, India is a tremendously inspiring winter holiday destination, particularly evocative for children.
The vast archipelago of Indonesia is white hot from December to March and holds endless treats for tropics-lovers: emerald paddy fields, whispering volcanoes, pristine white beaches and warm turquoise seas – best explored on a luxury sailing voyage. This is also a great time of year to head to Vietnam for a luxury food tour, or to Laos and Cambodia for Angkor temples, charming cafés and a pampering private island treat. Burma is an ideal destination for adventure seekers and October to March it is the only time of year that hot air ballooning is possible.
From swimming in see-through seas to able-fingered massages, gourmet food and exceptional service, the Maldives has all the ingredients for an utterly spoiling winter break. The Conrad Rangali is a fantastic all-rounder: it is great for families (it has a kiddie spa which does ice cream facials!) and it has one of the best house reefs for snorkelling and scuba diving.
