Now that the days are getting shorter and the new year is fast approaching, it’s time to start dreaming of your next short holiday! Now is the perfect moment to start planning the trip of your dreams for 2020.
If you’re one of those people who still doesn’t know where to go or would like to discover something different, you’re in luck as we already know the best destinations for next year.
From the incredible kingdom of Bhutan in the Himalayas to the breathtaking coastline of northern Macedonia, Hoteles.com has made an exclusive selection for you to stay in one of the top three destinations. The new year is already looking a lot more promising!
Bhutan, Himalayas
Sustainable tourism is going to be huge in 2020, and Bhutan is the ideal destination to visit. The country operates a “high value-low volume” tourism policy, charging a daily fee to those who want to set foot on the hills crowned by its monastery.
Make sure to visit Terma Lina Resort. This hotel is a sanctuary of zen, peace and luxury, 2850 metres above sea level on the banks of the Thimphu River, which flows down from the Himalayan mountains. Terma Lina Resort is located right at the entrance to the capital city of Bhutan, making it ideal for exploring the centuries-old Simtokha Dzong monastery and the surrounding mountains. After a long day of hiking in the mountains, you can relax in the hotel’s spa, which offers a variety of treatments, including steam baths, a sauna and a traditional herbal hot stone bath.
Penzance, England
In second place, we have England, the land of rolling countryside and green meadows. Following the trend of sustainable tourism, why not make 2020 the year to explore parts of England that you didn’t even know existed? Camilla House is an ideal base for exploring Cornwall and St Michael’s Mount with its beautiful sea views.Located in the coastal town of Penzance, this elegant ‘5 Star Gold’ guest house is a refurbished late Georgian townhouse with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere that will make you feel right at home.
The eight guest rooms are tastefully decorated to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable. Access to St Michael’s Mount is via a cobblestoned causeway at low tide, and there are also regular ferry boats from the mainland. And to make your experience a full-on adventure, you could follow the footsteps of the medieval pilgrims on the Saints’ Way, which takes you on a 19km route from the St Ives Bay to the St Michael’s Mount.
Ohrid, North Macedonia
North Macedonia wins hands down for its mix of Greek, Roman and Ottoman architecture. It’s one of the most fascinating countries in the world to visit and is renowned for its gastronomy, time-honoured tradition and spectacular nature. The lake and the city of Ohrid and Lake Ohrid, both accepted as Cultural and Natural World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, are the jewel in the crown of North Macedonia. New flight routes have just been launched, meaning the old cobblestoned streets, distinctive architecture, the city’s beach and lakefront bars will now be easier to explore than ever before. Stay at Villa & Winery Mal Sveti Kliment, a 4-star Bed & Breakfast with stunning views of the lake. The owners of the villa also run a family-owned winery, which produces only a couple of thousand bottles each year. And the best part is that they invite their guests to an exclusive tasting during their stay.
