When the weather turns chilly, we frequently think about two very different kinds of winter getaways: snowy wonderlands and tropical beaches. On some days, we fantasize of going on a ski trip or visiting a village covered in snow in Europe, while on other days, we start making plans for our upcoming beach holiday while hating the bitterly cold weather. That roughly sums up how our lives are from December through March each year. Repeat that cycle around 50 times.
If you experience these dueling pangs of wanderlust, then you’re in luck—we’ve rounded up 30 of the best winter vacations, divided equally between cold- and warm-weather destinations, for you to dream about visiting ASAP. Because who says you have to choose just one?
best Winter Escapes We’re Dreaming of This Year
Hokkaido, Japan
The Japanese island of Hokkaido is a poster child for untouched geological beauties (think volcanoes, national parks, and lakes), most of which become even more stunning come wintertime. One notable example is the ethereal Blue Pond, whose protruding trees and azure waters pull off layers of ice quite exquisitely.
Whistler Blackcomb, Canada
In recent years, Whistler (one of the best ski resorts in North America) has become a beloved spot for high-quality ski and snowboard hills. With 8,171 acres of skiable terrain, there’s easily enough ground to keep you on new trails throughout the six-month regular season. Runs offer a wide range of difficulty levels, making this the perfect place for beginners, adrenaline junkies, and everyone in between.
