When booking that warm-weather winter vacation, where you stay is paramount to snowbird success: You’re looking for a sun-drenched slice of paradise where you don’t have to think about much else besides still or sparkling, beach or pool. The hotels on this list—dotting temperate locations from Antigua to the Maldives—each offer something for everyone, whether that’s all-inclusivity, proximity to nature, or luxe spa treatments. Some of these properties are palm-covered villas, situated right on the beach, while others are perched high in the jungle. These properties make the most of their breezy climates, opening the door up to activities you wouldn’t be able to get in the snow-sloshed winter months—from golfing and pickleball to rainforest treks and flamingo yoga. Below, the best hotels to book for winter sun.
How we choose the best hotels for winter sun
Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveler journalist who knows the destination and has visited that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider properties across price points that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination, keeping design, location, service, and sustainability credentials top of mind.
