Top Beach Destinations for Your Winter Getaway

Winter is almost here, which means it’s time to start planning your getaway. There are plenty of beautiful places on this planet that you can visit. With the days getting significantly colder, the allure of white-sand beaches and sizzling sun rays gets harder and harder to resist. Here are the best beach destinations sure to take away any winter blues. 

The Maldives
In the last number of years, the Maldives has become quite a popular destination — especially for Canadians. The picturesque country is located to the west of India and consists of almost 1200 individual islands. Though not all islands are habitable or open for tourists, there are still close to 200 islands to enjoy.

Besides the relaxing environment, the Maldives is home to a rare phenomenon. Vaadhoo is one of the more well-known beaches to have bioluminescent plankton light up the ocean waters at night. This seems not only otherworldly, but it is also incredibly beautiful to witness.

Cuba
The biggest island of the Caribbean has been a top beach destination for some time now. And although Havana is the first place that comes to mind when people think of Cuba, its more popular resort town is actually Varadero. The island certainly caters to its tourists with a myriad of water activities such as snorkeling, swimming with dolphins, and even kayaking. If scuba diving interests you, make sure to check out some historical wreckage at Parque Marino Cayo Piedras.

Florida, US
If you want to visit the best beaches in the US, you have to go straight to Florida. The waters are the perfect temperature; warm enough to keep you from freezing, but chill enough to cool you down in the hot sun. Many say that Bahia Honda, located in the Florida Keys, is the best beach in the state.

Bali
Bali is not only a home for those seeking spiritual enlightenment; it also caters to surfers from all over the world. Hands down the best places are along the southern coast. The waves are just right, and the views are amazing. Check out Uluwatu beach for a completely zen experience as you gaze at the Pura Luhur Uluwatu temple which stands on a cliff above the shore.

Of course, you don’t have to be an adrenaline-junkie to enjoy nature in Bali. Put on some comfortable sneakers, bring plenty of water, and start hiking. Take a peaceful walk through the rainforest and listen to the waterfalls.

With all of the incredible options available for a winter vacation, it can feel overwhelming or even intimidating. Yet, don’t let that stop you. Plan to look your best at the world’s best beaches by preparing yourself now. Eating right, drinking water, along with a little exercise can go a long way. 

You don’t have to abandon your skincare regimen just because you’re at a beautiful beach getaway, either. Portable laser skin care devices allow you to focus on hair removal treatments while traveling — these devices help you keep your bikini line and you can take them with you anywhere.

No one wants to deal with the embarrassment of noticeable stubble poking through their bikini. By packing an at-home hair removal device you can give yourself quick treatments before baring it all on the beach. The best part is that there is no irritation or red bumps to deal with afterward.

Take a break this winter and confidently enjoy the sun. Hopefully our list of recommended destinations has inspired you and you’re already packing your bags!
