Do you wish you could tell your family what you really want for Christmas this year? You appreciate their ideas, but you can’t handle more ill-fitting clothing and gift cards to stores at which you no longer shop. If only they’d give you one big gift instead, you could do what you really want to do: travel to these three locations.

Mavrovouni: Find the Greek seaside town, which you’ve always dreamed about, without even leaving the mainland on the Peloponnese peninsula.

Sumba: Go to the “edge of the wilderness” to go surfing and relax at a gorgeous resort on a previously unexplored island in Indonesia.

Jabal Akhdar: Drive through the desert, up into the green mountains, and along terraced hillsides to find a cliffside hotel in Oman.
