New Year, New Destinations: Take your vacation to new shores
If 2023 is your year to take your vacation to new destinations, we’d be lying if we said you weren’t in the right place! We know you’ve got your favourite hot spots to beach binge and live la vida local – confession time, so do we! – but travel is all about trying new things and what better way to dive into new adventures (or dip your vacation toes in new waters) than by booking a different paradise this year. We’re really leaning into the whole new year, new you mentality, and with the world as your oyster, we’re here to help you crack it open with pearls of paradise that you’ll love!
Hollywood’s Golden Era playground
Speaking of pearls, allow us to introduce you to this unsung hero in Mexico – Acapulco! Once a favourite destination for the likes of Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley and Elizabeth Taylor, Acapulco still holds plenty of glamour and charm for your next beach getaway. If you love the golden-sand shores of Los Cabos and the charming city life of Mazatlán, this fellow Pacific Mexico destination has both in spades. If you’re looking for family-friendly all inclusive Acapulco resorts to experience prime beach and city vacations, head to Princess Mundo Imperial, just a short drive away from the city’s shopping, restaurants and nightlife.
Calling all lush paradise lovers
If you’re a frequent visitor to the exotic shores of Saint Lucia and Jamaica, have we got a dreamy destination for you! Nestled in the heart of Central America, Costa Rica is an eco-vacationers nirvana. This breathtaking vacay spot is one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet with nearly a quarter of the country covered by protected rainforest. Leave only footprints and take only pictures with Sunwing Experiences, powered by NexusTours excursions that highlight what make Costa Rica the paradise it is! Zipline through jungle canopy, explore ancient volcanoes or chill out on black-sand beaches – try it all and then some with Sunwing’s Costa Rica vacation packages!
Beauty is in the eye of the snorkel holder
There’s more to paradise than meets the eye and no destination proves this more than sunny Roatán, Honduras. If you’re looking to spend more time beneath the waves than by the pool, Roatán should be number one of your list of 2023 must-see spots! With virtually its entire coastline fringed by a diverse coral reef teeming with exotic marine life, it’s a snorkeller and scuba diver’s heaven on earth – or should we say sea? You can dive into vacation charm when you stay at Fantasy Island Beach Resort, Dive and Marina, the ultimate Roatán all inclusive experience, set on its own private island just south of Roatán with a secluded beach area and its own five-star PADI dive centre!
We’re going, going, back, back through history
One of the most prominent hubs of culture and history, Havana has long been a staple Caribbean destination for city escapes but there’s a new sheriff in town… well not exactly new, per se. Cienfuegos, Cuba, known as the Pearl of the South for its charm and beauty, was founded in 1819 by French émigrés whose influence is still seen and felt today. The city’s neoclassical architecture and historic attractions earned it a UNESCO World Heritage Site listing and highlights what makes Cuba such a draw for Canadian travellers. The best of the city, from the charming bayfront Malecón to the stunning urban parks and historic attractions is just a short excursion away from the adults only Mystique Trinidad La Popa by Royalton, located in its own little historic alcove.
Shore you’ve seen it all? Beach, please!
If you’re one of the many Canadians who seek out the sun every chance they get, you’re not alone! The Caribbean is home to some of the best beaches across the globe with hot spots in Cancun, Varadero and Punta Cana at the top of the list, but if you’re looking to take your getaway to new shores, head to the exotic island of Antigua! Beaches are one of this island’s claims to fame, with a sandy stretch of coast for every day of the year. With 365 beaches to explore and weekly flights to Antigua on board Sunwing Airlines from Ontario and Quebec, you’re never too far away from sand in your toes and a bevvy in your hand.
