<\/a><\/p>\n1<\/span>\u00a0 | \u00a0Best Romantic Destination<\/h4>\nKokomo Private Island Resort, Fiji. Everybody knows, a little place like Kokomo. Okay, okay, cheesy song from the Beach Boys, but there\u2019s nothing cheesy about this resort which opened last year. Take a seaplane from Fiji\u2019s main airport, and you\u2019ll land beside your own tiny island oasis. There\u2019s a casual open restaurant built on the water where the chef cooks what was caught yesterday. Go diving on coral reefs completely unaffected by bleaching, catch huge game fish, or just relax on the sand outside your private villa.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n2<\/span>\u00a0 | \u00a0Best South American Destination<\/h4>\nLlao Llao Hotel & Resort, Argentina. You\u2019ll find this sunny little gem in the heart of Argentina\u2019s Lakes District. Take a 25-minute drive along the shores of Moreno Lake and you\u2019ll find a resort (with a golf course) nestled between two lakes. In summer, the elevation means the temperature stays below 90 degrees and humidity remains low. This area is the best on Earth for fly-fishing, or take a swim in the lake. Spend your evenings outside in the resort\u2019s dining patio, looking out to the Andes.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n3<\/span>\u00a0 | \u00a0Best Beach Destination<\/h4>\nByron Bay, Australia. Perhaps you\u2019re no surfer \u2013 maybe you don\u2019t have an interest in surfing at all, but nowhere spells \u2018summer\u2019 more than an Australian surf town, and no surf town\u2019s quite like Byron Bay. Sample the vibe of a village with 18 beaches around it where everyone lives for waves. Bronzed Aussies walk through town on their way to the surf, tourists take lessons (there\u2019s more than 10 surf schools here if you\u2019re up for the challenge), while afternoons are spent at beachside bars and cafes watching the waves (Crocodile Dundee Paul Hogan once lived here and you can down a cocktail at the bar his best buddy once owned, The Beach Hotel).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n4<\/span>\u00a0 | \u00a0Best Secret Destination<\/h4>\nCook Islands. How they slip under the radar is anyone\u2019s guess, but these 15 islands set in an area of ocean the size of western Europe populated by barely 15,000 inhabitants are a beachcomber\u2019s paradise. There\u2019s high-end romantic resorts on the island group\u2019s most iconic island, Aitutaki, while main island, Rarotonga, has the right mix of sunset bars and atmospheric restaurants while still being home to empty beaches and an almost entirely undiscovered mountainous hinterland. There are islands 40 minutes away that are visited by fewer than 20 people each year.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n5<\/span>\u00a0 | \u00a0Best African Safari Destination<\/h4>\nMana Pools, Zimbabwe. There\u2019s no better antidote to all that Northern Hemisphere chill than time spent on the savannahs on an African bush safari, and there\u2019s nowhere better to come face-to-face with wild animals while escaping the crowds of South African and Kenyan safari camps than Mana Pools. After a change in government, Zimbabwe has opened back up to tourism. At Mana Pools, take walking safaris with lions, leopards and elephants or float down the mighty Zambezi River amongst hippos and crocodiles.<\/p>\n

Want to feel like you\u2019re an adventurist while not giving up any of your creature comforts in five-star lodgings by the beach? Then come to Tanna. Barely 60 minutes by plane from Vanuatu\u2019s capital, Port Vila, Tanna is still dominated by locals who live in tribes in grass huts in the forests (called Cargo Cults, they worship everyone from the Queen Of England\u2019s husband, Philip, to American WWII deserters). You\u2019ll get to snorkel and swim in clear blue waters along a deserted coastline. Though the biggest thrill is taking a 4WD safari to active volcano, Mt Yasur, to sit by its crater as dry lava spits out into the air at sunset as you sip champagne.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n7<\/span>\u00a0 | \u00a0Best Luxury Destination<\/h4>\nBora Bora, French Polynesia. Don\u2019t consider it unless you\u2019re willing to blow some serious cash, but if luxury in the sunshine is your thing, nowhere on Earth does it better than Bora Bora. Fly from Tahiti and take a speedboat to a private island retreat. You\u2019ll find some of the most iconic luxury resorts here \u2013 where Hollywood stars flee \u2013 all built on tiny atolls in the lagoon (the most revered are the Four Seasons and St Regis). Book an overwater bungalow. Ride a cruiser bike to breakfast, then spend your day in a hammock, or in the lagoon, before sunset drinks looking back on volcanic peaks, Mt Otemanu and Mt Pahia.<\/p>\n

Not only is Cape Town one of the world\u2019s prettiest seaside cities (it\u2019s surrounded on three sides by ocean and dwarfed by the kilometre-high Table Mountain), it\u2019s also one of the most affordable gourmet cities of the Southern Hemisphere. Populated by Europeans, African and Asians \u2013 there are more than 200 restaurants in a city which reflect this multi-culture. Cape Town is also surrounded by some of the Southern Hemisphere\u2019s best wine regions, especially Stellenbosch. Be sure to try the unique Cape Malay cuisine \u2013 a combination of Malaysian and Dutch food.<\/p>\n
