Best warm places to visit in winter

Places whose best season happens to be the northern winter. Not an escape from a bad time of year — the actual peak, at peak-quality weather.

How these were picked

  • Genuinely dry between November and March
  • Warm enough to swim or sit outside at night
  • Not so booked out that it stops being fun
