63 ~~~ The best holiday destinations for 2022 We’ve pulled together the places that will be truly making their mark in the year ahead As the green shoots of travel turn to tall, towering oaks, 2022 is a chance for us to reconnect to the best holiday destinations in a deeper, more authentic way. We’ll be reminded often of why we travel; those sparks of curiosity and adventure will be fanned to roaring flames, and as travel steadily finds its way back into our lives, we’ll appreciate every moment that comes with it – every hidden street-food shack, every quiet beach gilded by the low sun, every slow and magnificent swoop of a train journey.
Which is why this year, our list of top holiday destinations is perhaps more important than ever. We’ve taken great care in selecting places to suit all travel appetites, taking our cue from those in the know – the surfers, the food-truck vendors and the museum curators. On the list you’ll find destinations varied in character and geography, from north-east Australia to the very best places to visit in Europe. Evergreen spots such as Edinburgh and Thailand will be singing louder than ever, while others – Jersey and New Orleans – are shining a light on their own untold histories. Big global events, such as the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, will certainly hold sway, but there are quieter stories to be told too, from family-run farms packing a real foodie punch, to festivals dedicated to the healing properties of the Earth.
So however you picture your own travel landscape, there’s something on this list to satisfy all inclinations. There are, of course, countless spaces to explore on this planet, and many ways in which to do so, but this is our carefully curated selection of those spots coming into their own in 2022 – in no particular order, and including an insider tip on where to book to stay if we have personally already tested somewhere we'd like to recommend to you. Always check government guidelines before booking and before travelling. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/best-holiday-destinations#10 November 2021

65 ~~~ Where to go on holiday in December: 28 top destinations The 28 best destinations in the world to go on holiday in December, from Caribbean islands to Christmassy tinsel towns Forget summertime: December just might be the best time of year to travel.

Off-season surprises include Fiji and Madagascar; for a limited time only, these are a (relative) bargain. And with the sunny season in full swing Down Under, it’s an ideal time to discover Australia’s most unlikely success story. Plus, our tips on how to do it all as sustainably as possible.

74 ~~~ The best seaside towns in England ~ Conde Nast ~~~ The essential summer-holiday guide to England's best seaside towns – what to do, where to eat and the best places to stay Seaside towns in England may not be best known for their weather and white sand, but there's no denying they have charm. On the south-westerly corner of Britain, beaches with clear Atlantic waters and powdery sands await. Parents tuck into seafood platters in beach shacks and hotel restaurants and look out to sweeping coastal views as children ride waves at surf schools. Elsewhere, Eastbourne offers a quintessentially British experience. Fish and chips in hand, the town and its surrounds are best explored on foot – just wipe your hands clear of batter residue before fingering through bargain finds in the stores that hide among the alleyways. Further up, Norfolk has been a spot for holidaymakers for many years. The hills inland are littered with reminders of the past and its people, while new openings on the coast are making it an attractive destination for those in search of a stylish staycation. From north to south, east to west, these are some of our favourite seaside locations across England – along with what to see, where to stay, and what to eat and drink during your time there. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/best-seaside-towns-england?6 July 2022

75 ~~~ The best things to do on the Isle of Wight ~~~ These are the highlights awaiting visitors on one of the UK's sunniest islands, from grand castles to garlic farms Lord Tennyson described the air on the Isle of Wight as "worth sixpence a pint", and, as you cross the Solent, it proves impossible not to lift your face to the sky and draw in a deep breath of the stuff. The island, just off the south coast of England, is just a 40-minute ferry (or three-minute hovercraft) from the mainland. Yet as you drift toward the undulating cliffs and greenery-enfolded hills, most voyagers are met with the distinct feeling that they are travelling backwards, into an almost romanticised version of yesteryear. The coast is a study in blue and green and the water can segue from dazzling turquoise to slate-grey in the passing of one morning. Inland, cattle and sheep graze in jade fields sheltered by giant oaks; winding roads edged with hedgerows and wild grasses evoke Enid Blyton's adventures. Hiring wheels is by far the best way to explore, and since the phone signal is notoriously patchy it's also a good idea to brush up on old-school map-reading skills. Despite the wholesome nostalgia, there's also a mini food revolution happening, reflected in a gentrified locavore spirit, and a palpable effort to move with the tides, so to speak. So savour the chintzy tearooms and fresh crab sandwiches, the candy-coloured ice cream outposts and the peppered patchwork of beach huts, for this is an island where slowing down, switching off and just letting the sea air wash over you is very much the order of the day. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/best-things-to-do-isle-of-wight?3 August 2022

77 ~~~ The best places to see Autumn leaves in the UK The prettiest spots in the UK to see falling autumn leaves change colour As another glorious(ish) summer comes to an end, the arrival of autumn leaves season transforms national parks, commons, and secret gardens across the British Isles. The lush greenery and beds of wildflowers wilt, turning popular picnic spots into forests of fire. Wild ponies navigate the changing landscapes of the Brecon Beacons, amblers take to the New Forest for bracing strolls before hiding out in cosy pubs, and Londoners wrap up for weekend markets and strolls around historic parks. As they change from bright green to a kaleidoscopic spectrum of red, orange and yellow, these are the most beautiful places in the UK to take in the spectacle. www.cntraveller.com/gallery/autumn-leaves-uk#6 Sept 2023

78 ~~~ The best Christmas hotels in LondonThe countdown to Christmas is extra glittery at these festive London hotels Jack and the Beanstalk, Puss in Boots and other thigh-slapping, crinoline-costumed pantomimes aren’t the only theatrical productions in London at Christmas (oh no they’re not): London's best hotels know how to put on a show too.
