Updated December 2018
From Christmas in New York, to skiing in Norway, we’ve gathered together the places to go in December when the weather gets chilly. If you’d rather a little sunshine instead, we’ve got that covered too, in the form of chic Miami and dreamy Mauritius.
The beach…
Relax during December, with average temperatures of 25°C on the island of Mauritius. Kick back on picture-perfect white sands or liven things up with water sports or zip-lining through jungles. Go scuba-diving and plunge into the Indian Ocean at Roche Zozo, off Blue Bay on the southern coast, to experience colourful coral reefs and creature encounters. Venture south west to find wild dolphins and enjoy the revitalising spray of sea water on a catamaran.
Eat
Savour the delights of luxury at the Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita, with a choice of four restaurants and mouthwatering menus. The Beau Champ is open for breakfast and dessert, with a beautiful setting on the water’s edge. In the morning, choose from crab benedict, Mauritian dishes, and sweet French toast. Come nightfall, dine on the six-course menu, created by multi-award-winning chefs.
Stay
The five-star exotic luxury of LUX* Belle Mare offers plenty of quirks and spectacular views. Enjoy a scoop or two at the ice-cream parlour, then head to the new gin haven IM-A-GIN. Take a sunset stroll across the blissful beach, or horse-ride by the waves. Head to the glistening sands in the morning for beach yoga, then hop on a red bicycle to explore more of Mauritius.
