As the chill of winter sets in, why not trade snowflakes for sunshine and jet off to some of the world’s most indulgent winter sun destinations?

From secluded beaches to vibrant cultural hubs, here’s our curated list of places to explore, complete with unforgettable experiences that promise warmth, relaxation, and adventure.

Antigua and Barbuda

For yachting enthusiasts, Jolly Harbour is the place to be. This vibrant marina community offers waterfront villas with private docks and easy access to luxury boat charters, perfect for exploring Antigua’s idyllic coastline. Dive into thrilling watersports like jet skiing and snorkelling or enjoy a relaxing round at the Jolly Harbour Golf Club, an 18-hole championship course surrounded by lush tropical landscapes.

ST Barts

Few destinations embody glamour like St. Barts. The island’s chic capital, Gustavia, tempts visitors with its harbour of superyachts, designer boutiques, and world-class dining at spots like Bonito. For lively beach vibes, head to Saint-Jean, home to the famous Nikki Beach, where beachfront villas provide the ultimate in sophistication. For a quieter escape, Colombier Beach, accessible only by foot or boat, offers unmatched seclusion paired with luxurious villas boasting panoramic views and personalised services.

Seychelles

Praslin is paradise defined, home to two of the world’s most stunning beaches – Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette – with their powdery white sands and crystal-clear waters. Beyond the beaches, a short boat ride to Curieuse Island lets you meet giant Aldabra tortoises, while snorkeling at St. Pierre Islet unveils vibrant coral reefs. Nature lovers shouldn’t miss the Vallée de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage Site often called the “Garden of Eden,” where you’ll find the rare coco de mer palm amidst lush tropical beauty.

South Africa

Cape Town is a popular winter destination for good reason, renowned for its wonderful climate, beaches, culture, and vibrant food and wine scene. We have chosen spectacular villas in the popular neighbourhoods of  Clifton and Bantry Bay as they blend architectural mastery with natural beauty. These coastal neighbourhoods are known for their hillside villas, featuring glass walls, infinity pools, and uninterrupted ocean views. Clifton’s sleek, modern homes emphasize seamless integration with nature, while Bantry Bay’s wind-free location and refined designs provide a tranquil retreat for discerning visitors.

For those accustomed to elevated travel experiences, the area offers private helicopter tours over the Cape Peninsula, sunset cruises showcasing the dramatic coastline, and curated wine tastings in the historic Constantia Valley. Dining highlights include The Bungalow for fresh seafood with ocean views, The Roundhouse for fine dining in a historic setting, and La Parada’s Spanish tapas. Clifton and Bantry Bay go beyond luxury, delivering a bespoke lifestyle that resonates with seasoned explorers seeking exceptional quality and exclusivity​​.
