Where to escape to and what to wear for... Winter Sun
As the weather makes no mistake in showing us that winter is well and truly here, paired with the long working year we’ve all experienced, it’s undoubtedly time for a winter holiday. While the sights of the Northern Lights and the alure of a cozy Christmas market are appealing, nothing lifts the spirits and signifies ‘holiday mode’ like a warm weather getaway. So, without further ado, these are our team’s favorite winter sun destinations, and more importantly the pieces to pack for the moments you won’t forget.
Bali
We don’t need to put Bali on your radar, we’re sure it’s already firmly there. However, the island is more than a surf and party hotspot, it’s known as a place of true relaxation and spirituality. Because of this it can offer a chance to disconnect, heal and truly recharge. Plan your trip around a stay at a spiritual resort, our favourites include Fivelements Retreat, COMO Shambhala Estate and The Yoga Barn. As for what to pack, lean into the healing energy with our white and earthy tone styles, like a white mini dress or yellow maxi.
Kangaroo Island
It’s no secret that Australia is a popular travel destination for those wanting to get as far away from the cold as possible. However, Australia’s biggest cities mirror the hustle and bustle of any major world city. So, it’s important to search for the country’s best kept secrets for your endless share of pristine beaches and picturesque sunsets. That’s where Kangaroo Island comes in, in South Australia the island is known for its luxury accommodation and focus on environmentally friendly practices, oh and its kangaroos. If you want a stay you’ll never forget, look to Southern Ocean Lodge. As for what to pack, contrast the white sands and light blue sea with our burgundy and olive maxi dresses.
Puerto Rico
Located in the middle of Central America, Puerto Rico certainly brings the Latin American heat and flair. Known for its connection to nature, the country is perfect for those who want to hike, seek adventure and surf, and then relax over a glass of wine and award-winning meal in the rainforest. San Lucas is known as the ultimate treetop dining experience, with the jungle as your backdrop. As for what to pack, when you’re not in activewear, opt for one of our floral mini or maxi dresses for a look worthy of your tropical and biological diverse surroundings.
Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is the antithesis of a wintery Christmas, with its balmy days filled with tango and art galleries, and breezy nights filled with asado barbeque and Malbec wine. It’s hard to not feel floaty and relaxed when you’re swept up in the Argentinian atmosphere. If you want an experience that feels both unique and opulent make sure to put a show at Rojo Tango on your list. As for what to wear, opt for one of our flowy styles like a red ruffled maxi dress or draped burgundy mini dress that allows you to dance the day away.
Dubai
Known for having the tallest building in the world, its rich cultural heritage and desert surroundings, Dubai is the crown jewel of the Middle East. This modern city has something for everyone, with cultural sites, all-inclusive resorts, and healing desert experiences. While you’re there make sure to pencil in a stay at Al Maha, which feels like a luxurious oasis in the middle of golden dunes. As for what to pack, use this as an opportunity to embrace flowy lines and relaxed silhouettes with our draped summer maxi dresses.
