Looking for stunning tropical destinations that won\u2019t break the bank? Join the club.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems like a truly Utopian dream: a tropical paradise that offers all the trimmings \u2014 minus all the exorbitant prices. Well, I\u2019ve spent the last decade of my life chasing the dream (of living in a sarong on an idyllic stretch of beach for months on end), and I\u2019m going to let you in on a secret: these tropical destinations really do exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sure, you may have to fork out a little more on a plane ticket, and you may want to have more than a week up your sleeve (winter lasts longer than that, anyway), but if you\u2019re after a little corner of paradise to while away a few weeks while everyone else freezes back home, then best pack your bags right this minute. Paradise waits for no traveller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bali, Indonesia \u00a0<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If epic surf, delicious food, and gorgeous guest houses by the beach are your thing, then Bali is where you\u2019ll want to head. This famous tropical destination is anything but overdone \u2014 despite what everyone else will have you believe. Just bypass over-touristed Kuta and you\u2019ll discover a wonderful, laid-back, and super-friendly haven that\u2019s made for relaxing vacations. Choose between the cooler temps and uber-trendy vibe of Ubud<\/a> in the highlands, the glorious reefs off the coast of Candi Dasa on the east, or pick just about any spot on Bali\u2019s north coast where you\u2019ll find dolphins, boat rides, amazing grilled seafood, and very, very few tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bali offers 101 options, and if you\u2019re willing to go beyond the usual hot-spots, you\u2019ll discover an island that\u2019s steeped in ancient traditions and outstanding natural beauty. Life is blissfully easy and inexpensive in Bali, making it one of the world\u2019s best hubs for digital nomads. But there\u2019s more to it than that. With exceptional beaches, friendly locals, and a lifestyle that just screams \u2018tropical paradise\u2019, Bali is the bees\u2019 knees, helped by the fact that delightful Lombok and the unplugged Gili Islands are all but a short boat-ride away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caribbean Coast, Costa Rica<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Costa Rica still remains one of the most popular choices for tropical destinations in the heart of the northern winter. The eco-adventure-tourism capital of the Americas is a hard one to overlook, its tropical wilderness offering an abundance of activities for thrill-seekers. Ziplining, canyoning, whitewater rafting, horse-riding, mountain biking. You name it and, if it\u2019s totally fun, you can probably do it here. What\u2019s more, you\u2019ll be pumping your adrenaline in a luscious landscape that\u2019s brimming with active volcanoes and tropical rainforests. For these reasons, Costa Rica suits nature-lovers who love to be active on vacation. If you\u2019re happy to just lay on a beach and sip cocktails then by all means go to Mexico, but if you can\u2019t sit still for more than a minute and just want to get out there, then Costa Rica\u2019s the one for you.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mind you, there are still plenty of glorious beaches for relaxing afternoons. Families and honeymooning couples tend to congregate on the central Pacific coast (the headquarters of all-inclusive resorts), but if you\u2019d love a more traditional, charming, and rustic (not to mention less crowded) stay, then head to the Caribbean coastline instead. Puerto Viejo, Cahuita, and the startling Tortuguero National Park receive fewer visitors than any of the hubs on the west coast, which can make your stay all the more enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cartagena, Colombia<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d love an infusion of history and culture on your tropical vacay, then set your sights on Cartagena, one of the most magnificent architectural treasures in all of Latin America. The colonial-era historic centre is insanely charming and offers a colorful abundance of shopping, gastronomic feasting, and sightseeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019ve had your fill of city-life, just hop on a boat and head straight for the Rosario Islands, one of Colombia\u2019s prized jewels and one of our top picks for tropical destinations. This sparsely-populated archipelago is only one of many along Colombia\u2019s coastline but, in many ways, it\u2019s the most impressive. A marine reserve that\u2019s been left mostly undeveloped and unspoiled, the Rosario Islands are easy to reach and offer the kind of \u2018Caribbean dream holiday experience\u2019 that would cost an absolute fortune further north. We\u2019re talking swaying palm trees along white sandy beaches, turquoise seas, an abundance of underwater treasures that entice snorkelers and SCUBA-divers, and a handful of super cool places to stay. Just fight the urge to only visit on a day trip \u2013 with 3+ hours allocated to transport alone, a day-trip really is counterproductive to relaxation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Koh Lipe, Thailand<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sunrise

Alongside Bali, Thailand is an incredibly popular choice for tropical destinations thanks to its abundance of sun, beaches, grilled seafood and super friendly locals. Thailand is also cheap as chips, which never really hurts. However, if you were to head to famous hubs like Phuket and Krabi in winter, you\u2019d have to elbow your way through the crowds just to find a little square of sand to park your rear end. And, in my book, that\u2019s a sure way to ruin a tropical vacay. So, head to Koh Lipe<\/a> instead \u2013 you will spend a little more, but when you see the kind of \u2018paradise beaches\u2019 that await you here, you\u2019ll forget all about the few extra dollars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coined the \u2018Maldives of Thailand\u2019, Koh Lipe is in a league of its own in the country \u2014 crystalline and balmy seas, fantastic accommodation, unreal stretches of sandy shores, snorkeling, amazing food, and completely devoid of tourist crowds. Koh Lipe is the only inhabited island in the Adang Archipelago, and it\u2019s so far down the coast of Thailand (just to the west of Malaysia\u2019s Langkawi Island \u2013 another gem) and time-consuming to reach, that 90% of visitors to Thailand simply give up and stay in Phuket instead. This spells fabulous news for all you intrepid adventurers! Lipe\u2019s remoteness is certainly part of the appeal and if this were anywhere<\/em> else, it would be plastered all over Instagram. So do yourself a favour and be the one to break the mould \u2014 promise you won\u2019t regret it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
