Bring summer back with these 10 best long-distance travel destinations in the cold season

Now it's slowly happening again. The days are getting shorter, the temperatures are dropping lower and we actually only want one thing: to be far away. It's good if you know which onesLong-distance travel destinations in winterare particularly beautiful and worthwhile.

And when you come back to Germany with charged batteries, you can survive the winter quite easily - especially since spring is soon approaching again.

There are a whole range of countries that can delight you with paradisiacal dream beaches: Brazil, Mexico, Costa Rica, Thailand - and without a doubt the Seychelles are one of them. It's no wonder that the beaches there are regularly voted among the most beautiful in the world, that couples want to get married there and that they are often abused for advertising campaigns. It couldn't be nicer. But the African island state also has a lot to offer, so why not go there, and ideally now, when winter is approaching. Because the Seychelles are undoubtedly one of the best long-distance travel destinations for the cold season.

Brazil is without a doubt a perfect long-distance travel destination for the winter. The South American country impresses with breathtaking nature (although unfortunately it is becoming less and less, especially with regard to the Amazon) and with absolutely dream beaches. Just take the Fernando de Noronha archipelago in the Atlantic, about 350 kilometers from the Brazilian mainland. A tropical island paradise with fantastic beaches, crystal clear water and (still) intact coral reefs. Not only are there some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, but also the most beautiful diving areas. No wonder that Fernando de Noronha is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Really beautiful!

The Hawaiian island chain in the Pacific Ocean is an absolute place of longing for many people - and rightly so. What a great long-distance destination in winter (and the rest of the year too). There is so much to discover there - not least the many great beaches that make the US state so unique.

South Africa is also a perfect long-distance travel destination in winter - especially because the time difference is small, just an hour in winter, which means you don't get jet lag and can fully immerse yourself in the greatness of the country right from the start. Because South Africa is full of them: and it almost doesn't matter which corner of the country you move to. Of course, Cape Town with Table Mountain is special, but so is the Kruger National Park. A great country!

Costa Rica is also a country that really has everything to offer: rainforests, lakes, volcanic springs and over 1,200 kilometers of coastline - this makes Costa Rica a first-class long-distance travel destination for those who don't like winter. On the South Pacific coast, Nosara, for example, offers the ideal retreat for those who want to really switch off. What's particularly great is that the country is committed to making tourism as sustainable as possible, which is why there are many environmentally friendly accommodations in Costa Rica. Great!

Vietnam is a country full of cultural diversity, breathtaking landscapes and culinary highlights. A great country and, with its more than 3,000 kilometers of coastline, a perfect long-distance travel destination for the winter. Especially because you can mix well between the vibrant life in cities like Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi and beach holidays in areas like Nah Tran or the island of Phu Quoc. Not to forget the great national parks. A really great country to escape the cold in winter.

New Zealand summer runs from December to the end of February, making it the best time to consider New Zealand as a long-distance winter destination. Especially for those who want to get as far away from Germany as possible, because it doesn't go any further. The distance between the two capitalsand Wellington is over 18,000 kilometers as the crow flies - more long-distance travel is virtually impossible. But: it's worth it. Because New Zealand has, coastlines, snow-capped Alps, lush jungles, fascinating wildlife, picturesque beaches, hot springs and breathtaking. To be honest: there really isn't anything more possible.

Oh yes, the Philippines: completely underestimated as a fantastic long-distance travel destination in winter, but the Philippines are really incredibly beautiful. The best time to travel is December to February, as this is when there is the least amount of rain and the likelihood of tropical storms is quite low. An absolute place of longing that you will never forget again in your life.

The best time to travel to Oman is between November and March - then the temperatures are pleasant, the sun is shining, but you don't melt away and can instead fully immerse yourself in the country and its people. This is the best time for a long-distance trip (not that far away) where the flight duration is only six to seven hours. Nevertheless, you find yourself in another world that you can then immerse yourself in - either on the coast or in the mountain and desert landscapes that Oman has to offer.

Flawless beaches, a rich culture, impressive nature and fantastic food – Mexico is undoubtedly an absolute gem among long-distance travel destinations in winter. The sandy beaches in Cancún are world famous, as are the Mayan fortresses on the coast of Tulum. Mexico offers countless opportunities for a dream vacation in the cold season, where you can escape the cold German everyday life at 25 to 30 degrees.
