In order to make it through the cold season, many travelers treat themselves to another holiday in the sun in winter.

Where it's warm now

While some look forward to Christmas markets, mulled wine and festively lit streets in December, others long for sun and warmth.

But where is it currently?

In Europe, the peak travel season is mostly over – with the exception of a few islands in the Atlantic, it is too cold for a beach holiday.

So if you really want to work up a sweat, you have to let your gaze wander into the distance.

Egypt

In the summer months it is almost too hot for a holiday in Egypt with around 40 degrees Celsius - unless you just want to spend your time on the beach.

However, if you also want to experience something of the culture, December is the perfect time for you in the desert state.

In addition to the legendary pyramids of Gizeh, metropolises such as Luxor or Alexandria can be experienced up close.

A trip to Hurghada on the Red Sea is worthwhile for beach enthusiasts, where they can not only unwind but also immerse themselves in water sports activities.

Dominican Republic

The best travel time for the Dominican Republic differs depending on the stretch of coast.

However, for vacationers who want to visit the east coast with Punta Cana, December is the perfect month.

There are summer temperatures around 30 degrees Celsius with few rainy days - ideal for windsurfing, kayaking or sailing.

The south with the capital Santo Domingo is also ideal for a holiday between November and April.

On site you can explore the world heritage site "Museo de las Casas" or the palace "Alcázar de Colón".

Thailand

Phuket, Koh Samui, Khao Lak and Krabi are among the top destinations in Thailand.

Especially for the southwest, which includes Phuket, the main travel season begins in December - at the same time the rainy season is over here.

The perfect opportunity for a beach holiday on one of Thailand's numerous beaches.

Mai Khao Beach on Phuket, Thong Krut Beach on Koh Samui and Khuk Khak Beach in Khao Lak are particularly popular.

Holidaymakers can expect pleasant water temperatures of around 27 degrees - but trekking and culture fans will also get their money's worth in the winter months.

South Africa

When low temperatures set in in Germany, things really get going in South Africa with midsummer.

In Cape Town, travelers enjoy a warm 25 degrees Celsius and a whopping 11 hours of sunshine - the perfect weather to explore the capital and the Cape region.

On the Garden Route, the most popular route for a rental car, you can also enjoy the best temperatures in South Africa's spring and summer - which is between the months of October and April.

Oman

In the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula, travelers can also expect summery weather: Oman invites you with temperatures of around 26 degrees in December, and there are generally only a few rainy days.

The largest cities Salalah and Muscat are particularly impressive, the latter boasting one of the most impressive mosques, the Sultan Qaboos Mosque.

Oman also has a lot to offer in terms of landscape, from paradisiacal sandy beaches to breathtaking desert landscapes to fascinating mountain landscapes, there is something for every taste.

Madeira

The Madeira archipelago in the Atlantic offers year-round pleasant temperatures for those seeking relaxation and active vacationers.

In December this means: an average of 20 degrees outside temperature.

Winter is ideal for exploring the countless hiking trails on the Portuguese island of flowers and taking in the spectacular landscapes.

The trip can also be designed in a contemplative way: in the capital Funchal, one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Europe with colorful festive decorations comes up trumps during Advent.

Tenerife

Holidaymakers on Tenerife can still look forward to temperatures between 20 and 21 degrees in December.

It is therefore not surprising that the Canary Island is experiencing a second high season in winter.

The water is between 18 and 20 degrees warm, which allows for a relaxing time on the beach.

However, the holiday island also offers beautiful hiking trails in the Teide National Park or the Anaga Mountains in the north.

Many routes can also be used by mountain bike - so there is no shortage of activities.
