The Best Winter Escapes in Asia

Our 12-day trip in Bali runs, year-round, and this paradise island is the perfect place to escape the harsh winters of the northern hemisphere. Our tour blends the island’s serene relaxation culture with a healthy dose of outdoor adventure. You’ll hike Mount Batur at sunrise, snorkel with sea turtles of the Gili Islands and swim in Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, as well as visiting temples, experience traditional Balinese ceremonies and taking a cooking class. You’ll have plenty of time to wind down on the beach, at the pool or over a FlyHigh yoga session.

It’s all about golden beaches and crystalline waters on our 11-day Southern Thailand itinerary, which starts with a day in Bangkok before heading south and ending in Phuket. In the meantime you’ll stay in a floating raft house on Khao Sok Lake, spot exotic birds and bears on a longtail boat ride, kayak through Bor Thor Mangrove Forest and swim with tropical fishies off Hong Island. You’ll also get to go on a sunset cruise and barbecue in Ao Nang, as well as have plenty of opportunities to gorge on delicious Thai cuisine.
