With daily highs around 83 degrees and lows around 79, January is one of the best months for a trip to the Big Island—especially with such stunning attractions like Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and 'Akaka Falls, not to mention all the outdoor activities to be enjoyed such as rainforest hikes, stargazing, snorkeling, golf, surfing, and hot springs. For the ultimate New Year splurge, book one of the five private bungalows at the Mauna Lani, an Auberge Resort. At 4,000 square feet, they will more than comfortably sleep a group of 6 and provide seamless indoor-outdoor living (think private chefs, outdoor rain showers, a pool).

Located just 28 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, Alta is a veritable skiers' paradise. Snowboarding is banned here and it enjoys a fraction of visitors as its neighbor Park City (Alta gets about 500,000 visitors a year, while Park City gets more than 3 million). Stay at one of the newer hotels on the block, Snowpine Lodge, which underwent a $50-million renovation in 2019 to become a fully ski-in/ski-out hotel, the area's first. The après-ski amenities at the 68-room hotel include Alta's first full service spa, slope-side hot tubs and heated pool, an oxygen bar, fire pits, and heated ski lockers.

The birthplace of Alexander Hamilton, the small Leeward island of Nevis epitomizes everything a Caribbean island should be: that off-the-grid feel, laid-back charm, and plenty of lush landscapes and tropical beaches. It's also home to the 11-room Golden Rock Inn. The hidden gem, owned by the artists Brice and Helen Marden, is a foodie paradise that offers visitors a uniquely bohemian experience. Prefer something more beachy? Book one of the guest rooms at the Four Seasons Nevis facing the sugar-soft sand of Pinney’s Beach.

Crystal clear turquoise waters and sand as smooth as silk make Turks & Caicos especially alluring come winter. Nestled in a secluded spot along the pristine shores of Grace Bay is Wymara, a luxe resort that underwent an extensive renovation just last year during which the property remodeled rooms and added new villas. With minimalist, bougainvillea-laced design and a 7,000-square-foot mosaic-lined infinity pool, is there a better way to recharge and relax ahead of a brand new year?

Winter may not be the most popular time to visit Yosemite National Park but it may be one of the most beautiful. There are certain road closures to navigate around but sections of the park (as well as hiking trails) remain open in January. Vistas of glistening landmarks and landscapes dusted with snow—which, with far fewer crowds, can be enjoyed in near solitude—are hard to resist. For winter sports enthusiasts, there is also the option of snowshoeing, cross-country and downhill skiing, and snowboarding. After an adventurous day in the cold, the warm, cozy, and romantic Château du Sureau at the gateway to the park beckons with old world charm, a fabulous spa, 9 acres of picturesque rolling hills, and all the topnotch food and service expected of a Relais & Châteaux property.

January is often considered one of the bleakest months of the year. The excitement of the holidays has worn off, it's unbearably cold (for most of us), restrictive New Year resolution diets have begun, and there's nothing ahead but a long, interminable winter. All this makes it an ideal time to plan a getaway, especially more so since most travelers have already done their trips during the holidays so there are less crowds to contend with. Whether you're in pursuit of sun or snow, here are a few ideas for your first trip of 2022.

Spectacular Sanssouci Park, laid out between 1744 and 1756, is considered the most celebrated example of Potsdam Rococo. Reflecting the personal influence of Frederick the Great, the park includes a lovely Baroque flower garden, more than 3,000 fruit trees, and numerous greenhouses. It's a pleasure strolling around this huge park, especially the straight-as-an-arrow, two-and-a-half-kilometer-long avenue, shielded on each side by trimmed hedges, perfect lawns, and gorgeous gardens.

The lovely Bavarian lake of Königssee is one of the great beauty spots of the region of Germany referred to as Berchtesgadener Land. Also known as the King's Lake, this area near Salzburg is a hiking (and biking) paradise thanks to its vast network of trails.

One of the most popular things to do is follow the attractive footpath located along the east side of the Königssee to the Malerwinkel. Also known as Painters' Corner, it's notable for its superb views over the lake and the surrounding mountains.

Another equally attractive sightseeing option is taking a boat trip to the 17th-century Pilgrimage Chapel of St. Bartholomew, at the south end of the lake, and to walk from here to the Obersee. Berchtesgaden, at the end of the Deutsche Alpenstrasse, is perhaps the best-known tourist town and one of the most popular mountain resorts in the Bavarian Alps.

Another draw are the island's beautiful Stubnitz beech forests, part of Königsstuhl National Park. One of the most dramatic parts of the island's scenery can be enjoyed where these dense old forests come to a dramatic end on the Königsstuhl (King's Chair), a sheer chalk cliff plunges down to the sea from a height of 117 meters.

There's also a great visitor center here, which offers plenty of valuable information regarding all aspects of the island. Another must see is the little old resort town of Putbus, seat of the Princes of Putbus and with numerous Neoclassical buildings and parks.

Rügen is the largest and most beautiful of the German Baltic islands. Separated from the rest of Germany by the Strelasund, it's linked to the mainland town of Stralsund by a causeway. The island's beauty stems from its diversity of landscape, including everything from flat farmland and forest-covered hills to expansive sandy beaches, lagoons, and lovely peninsulas.

A fun thing to do here, especially for outdoor enthusiasts, is to pay a visit to the Jasmund Peninsula, which in places reaches heights of 161 meters. Here, you'll find Jasmund National Park, popular among nature lovers for its abundance of wildlife, with notable species found here, including rare white-tailed eagles.
