Christmas doesn't have to mean another year of shopping, cooking and squeezing into the same family routine. Sometimes, the best present you can give each other is a change of scenery, a little adventure and time together without the usual distractions.
If you are celebrating an anniversary, planning a romantic Christmas or simply craving an escape, these three destinations offer very different ways to spend the festive season.

Bali

For couples who want a holiday that balances adventure with downtime, Bali is an appealing choice. Spend your days exploring ancient temples, wandering through Ubud's lush rice terraces or discovering the island's dramatic landscapes. When you're ready to slow down, settle into a beachside café, enjoy a couples' spa treatment or watch the sunset together.

There's also room for spontaneity. One day might involve exploring Nusa Penida's striking coastline; the next could be devoted to doing absolutely nothing.

Our Bali Christmas Special combines Kuta, Bali, Kintamani and Nusa Penida over seven days and six nights.

Greece

Few things sound more romantic than exploring the Greek islands together. Picture dreamy whitewashed buildings, blue-domed churches, waterfront restaurants and evenings spent watching the sun dip below the Aegean Sea.

A trip combining Athens, Mykonos and Santorini offers a mix of history, island life and spectacular coastal scenery. Explore Athens' ancient landmarks before swapping the city for island views, leisurely meals and boat excursions.

Our Athens, Mykonos and Santorini Christmas Special offers a seven-day itinerary across all three destinations.

Keep in mind that December is winter in Greece, so this is better suited to couples who enjoy culture and scenery than those expecting a traditional beach holiday.

Cape Town and the Garden Route

If your idea of romance involves dramatic landscapes, excellent food and adventure... consider South Africa. December falls during the Southern Hemisphere's summer, making Cape Town and the Garden Route an attractive option for couples seeking sunshine and outdoor experiences.

Spend time exploring Cape Town, taking in the views from Table Mountain, discovering the Winelands and continuing along the coast towards Knysna and the Garden Route's natural attractions.

Explore our Cape Town and Garden Route package for an eight-day itinerary combining city experiences, vineyards and coastal scenery.
