Ready to plan a winter escape? Whether you prefer a lakeside retreat, an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean, or a spa in the mountains, these three destinations will help you get through the long winter.

Flores: Slip out of town—and even the country—right after the holidays to see ancient archaeological sites, colonial cities, an enormous rainforest, and fascinating animals in Guatemala.

Kadmat Island: Visit one of the most beautiful archipelagos in the world. You’ll dream of returning to Lakshadweep for years to come.

Krynica-Zdrój: Restore your energy in a brine bath, a mud bath, or a mountain-cooling bath after skiing in the mountains of southern Poland.
