Not keen on big puffy jackets and shivering your timbers? Escape winter with the hottest spots (literally) in Australia and beyond.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \n
  1. Viceroy Hotel, Bali<\/strong><\/a>
    \nAvg winter temp: 27\u00b0C<\/strong>
    \nNothing says summer holiday like a luxurious Bali hotel escape. Situated in the Ubud highlands, each of the Viceroy Hotel\u2019s 5-star villas has its own private pool and sweeping views of the Petanu River. But, hey, if a private pool isn\u2019t enough, skedaddle over to the infinity pool overlooking the Valley of the Kings, where Balinese royalty once lived. Look, if you\u2019re going to escape winter, do it in style ?.<\/li>\n
  2. Niramaya Villas and Spa, Port Douglas<\/strong><\/a>
    \nAvg winter temp: 25\u00b0C<\/strong>
    \nA pavilion-style hotel, Port Douglas\u2019s Niramaya Villas and Spa will definitely beat your winter blues. Soak up the summer vibes as you laze on a pool side lounge with a cold drink in one hand and a cheese platter at the other. Niramaya is also the perfect home base for exploring more of the northern tropics, with     Mareeba<\/a>, Kuranda<\/a>, and local wineries close by. Make sure you check out our foodies\u2019 guide to Port Douglas<\/a> before you go!<\/li>\n
  3. Radisson Blue Resort, Fiji<\/strong><\/a>
    \nAvg winter temp: 29\u00b0C<\/strong>
    \nThis 5-star beachfront paradise is a destination in itself. If you\u2019re keen on golf, try your skills (or your luck) on the 18-hole golf course. Or if swimming is more your thing, make a splash in one of Radisson Blue\u2019s five lagoon pools. Don\u2019t forget the awesome swim-up bar too – a summer holiday must-have ?.<\/li>\n
  4. COMO Point Yamu, Phuket<\/strong><\/a>
    \nAvg winter temp: 28\u00b0C<\/strong>
    \nJust a 30-minute drive from bustling Phuket, COMO Point Yamu overlooks gorgeous Phang Nga Bay. It\u2019s not absolute beachfront, but if you\u2019re craving all things sand take a complimentary boat to COMO\u2019s exclusive off-shore beach club (um, WOW!). For a seriously summer-esque getaway, COMO Point Yamu ticks all the boxes.<\/li>\n
  5. Mangrove Hotel, Broome<\/strong><\/a>
    \nAvg winter temp: 30\u00b0C<\/strong>
    \nWith its swinging palm trees and sparkling Roebuck Bay views, Broome\u2019s Mangrove Hotel makes winter feel like a distant (and kinda sad) memory. Make a beeline to the pool area to bag a private cabana or lazy hammock \u2013 it\u2019s like hitting the summer jackpot. Or hit up the hotel reception to join a camel safari tour of Cable Beach (just five minutes away). And DEFINITELY try the goats\u2019 cheese and pumpkin pizza at the on-site restaurant \u2013 it\u2019s a-maze-ing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
