Certified fresh destinations we have our eyes on this winter
We’ve seen the snow, we’ve felt the cold, and we’re incredibly desperate for summer to come back already. If you, too, are experiencing the same winter turmoil, a visit to the tropics seems necessary. From Eastern Caribbean gems that understand the real meaning of paradise, to Mexico and Caribbean oases offering a look into local culture, read on to discover some of the top destinations you should consider for your winter vacation.
Life’s just beach-y in Antigua
With more stunning stretches of shore than its Caribbean counterparts and dramatic coves that used to shelter pirates but now make for incredible swimming and snorkelling, Antigua is the destination for beach getaways. Coastal explorers will fall in love with white, pink, gold and black sands – not to mention the crystal-clear waters of the West Indies. The best part? They’re only a few kilometres apart so you can hit up more than one in a day (there are 365, so pace yourself). There are also plenty of all inclusive resorts to book but for our money, we’re staying at Pineapple Beach Club Antigua, set on the less crowded eastern shores and near one of its (other) most impressive natural attractions, Devil’s Bridge.
Sunny days are all the rage in Saint Lucia
If we’re talkin’ island paradise, Saint Lucia has got to be part of the convo as one of the most beautiful. Palm-lined beaches? Check. Lush landscapes? Check. Jungle waterfalls and eco-adventures. You get the idea; we can go on and on. While it offers natural beauty that will make even bigger Caribbean islands blush, it also imbues down-to-earth vibes, a culture as humble as it is rich and colourful, and opportunities to explore everything that makes Saint Lucia unique. With so much to discover, you’ll find plenty of luxury tucked away in this natural wonder. On the astounding shores of Rodney Bay sits The SoCo House, an adults only boutique resort blending South Beach style with rustic French Creole architecture and personalized service for a stay you won’t soon forget!
West Coast (Mexico) love is what we’re all about
If Puerto Vallarta has been on your vacation wish list then we’ve got some good news: vacation packages to this beauty of a destination and others on Mexico’s Pacific Coast are available to Western and Central Canadians from several gateways on board WestJet this winter. This spot delivers the ultimate trifecta – fantastic beaches, incredible culture and a delicious food scene (we’re hungry already). You can experience it all when you stay at Dreams Vallarta Bay Resort and Spa near downtown Vallarta. Enjoy dream all inclusive stays with plenty of exciting activities, tasty on-site dining and the sands of your dreams just steps from your room and minutes from everything this incredible destination has to offer, from the Malecón to probably the best tacos you’ll ever have.
The more ways to get to Puerto Plata, the better
We know how much you love paradise, so we’re making it easier for you to get to one of our top destinations in the tropics with convenient flights to Puerto Plata and the Dominican Republic. Located on the island’s northern shores, Puerto Plata doesn’t hold back when it comes to tropical beauty. We’re talking golden-sand beaches with swaying palm trees, lush mountains in the background and rainforest landscapes hiding wonders like the Damajagua Waterfalls. If you like a dash of culture during your Caribbean getaway, dive into the history of the city and its colonial past with the ideally situated Senator Puerto Plata, tucked between the foothills and golden coast.
