New year travel destinations
It’s a new year and a new decade which means it’s time to open new doors and seek new opportunities. There is so much that this world has to offer and so much that is there in it to see. Home to the most extraordinary landscapes and nature’s gift, this new year why not knock off visiting few of the most beautiful destinations across the globe?
Bali, Indonesia
For all the sea lovers out there, this year, this blue island is a destination you must tick off your bucket list. Home to serene blue waters coupled with coral reef or colourful shoal of fish, a plunge in Bali’s surrounding seas is an absolute delight. You can also unwind and relax while enjoying a soothing massage service in this haven of spas. If you book in advance you are sure to find the best villas in Bali that offer shore touching views of the sea.
Lake Tekapo, New Zealand
This area, in the centre of the south island usually gets clear skies for some amazing Aurora Australis displays. In fact, Lake Tekapo and the surrounding Mackenzie region is an internationally recognised dark sky reserve meaning, it is one of the best places in the world to stargaze, and in turn, see the southern lights. You can always head to higher ground in the surrounding mountains for better views. You can ditch the comforts of the hotel rooms or cottages because the views of this perfectly colourful sky are best enjoyed snuggling in your tent, camping with your loved ones.
Cairo, Egypt
If our choice of the waters or the snow has not impressed you then this mysterious land of sand might. Cairo, the capital city of Egypt holds some of the ancient secrets of the world. The homeland of the great Cleopatra and the magnificent pyramids, this city is sure to get you lost in its history. Set on the banks of river Nile, it is one of the biggest cities in the Middle East. Browse through the treasures of the Egyptian museum or get a bird’s eye view from the Cairo tower, a holiday in this city is a must need this new year.
Phuket, Thailand
Motherland of the most pristine white-sand beaches, Phuket is a top favourite amongst tourists. And why should it not be, Phuket is filled with a variety of entertaining sights and tourists attractions. Transcending nightlife, water sport activities, colourful night markets, tiger kingdoms, elephant sanctuaries or cabaret shows, here you can find it all. Phuket’s luxury villas are also an upcoming tourist attraction.
Santorini, Greece
Santorini is like no other place in the world! You’ll instantly recognise its typical whitewashed buildings against the rugged volcanic landscape. It truly is as beautiful as in the pictures, just be aware that you will not be enjoying the romantic sunsets alone – over two million tourists visit Santorini every year. You’d be lost in the beauty of its traditional cottages and surprised by the structure of the luxury holiday home. Alas! Both behold comfort.
Coonoor, India
Between the hills and mountains of Tamil Nadu, hides Coonoor. Riding with your loved ones on day 1, on the toy train, tops the list of things one must do while visiting Coonoor. Pretty exciting as it passes through tunnels and valleys with alluring views. Hidden Valley and the Sim's Park are a haven for adventure and a rather blissful place for a picnic. Trekking and camping, enjoying the nature and the outdoors away from the city, are what people look at while taking a trip to this quaint hill station. The Catherine falls and the Indian bakery make this a divine fit for you. To top it all, Isprava’s luxury private villas in Coonoor provide the most comforting stay.
