Japan in every season: cherry blossom, powder snow &amp; steaming onsens<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/hotels\/country\/japan\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/hotels\/country\/japan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Japan<\/a> rewards visitors year-round, but two windows stand out. Cherry blossom season runs from late March to early April (this can vary slightly), with the best displays in Kyoto, Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima. Snow season in Niseko and Hakuba runs December through March or even later, drawing skiers chasing the light, dry powder (known as JaPow) that falls reliably from Siberian weather systems crossing the Sea of Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Japan isn&#8217;t only worth visiting in peak season. The shoulder months \u2013 May, post Golden Week, and October \u2013 offer mild weather, fewer crowds and the kind of unhurried access to temples, ryokan and rural towns that the cherry blossom rush rarely allows. First-timers tend to anchor in Tokyo and Kyoto; return visitors head for the Noto Peninsula, the backstreets of Kanazawa or the onsen towns of Beppu, where the ground itself steams.

The north, including Hanoi and Ha Long Bay, is best from October to April (depending on the area).

The fortified capital, Valletta \u2013 one of Europe&#8217;s smallest capitals \u2013 is all honey-coloured limestone and baroque churches, with a food scene that&#8217;s quietly become one of the region&#8217;s best. And then there&#8217;s Gozo, the smaller sister island: slower, greener, with cliffs that drop straight into clear water and a pace of life that makes the rest of Europe feel frenetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/ultimate-five-day-malta-itinerary\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/ultimate-five-day-malta-itinerary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Malta<\/a> offers the same blue water and less foot traffic than the Greek islands or Amalfi Coast.

In Kandy, the Temple of the Tooth draws pilgrims daily. In the hill country around Ella, tea plantations run to the horizon and the train journey from Kandy is one of the best in Asia. The Ayurvedic tradition runs through all of it \u2013 authentic treatments, not hotel spa versions, are available at dedicated retreat centres across the island, particularly around Galle and the south coast.

Star-filled desert skies, ancient souks &amp; turquoise wadis in Oman<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/hotels\/country\/oman\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/hotels\/country\/oman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oman<\/a> offers a deep, authentic Middle Eastern experience, a step change from the glitz of its neighbours. It&#8217;s a country that&#8217;s quietly confident in what it has, which turns out to be quite a lot. Muscat&#8217;s waterfront corniche and the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque are musts. Beyond the capital, the Wahiba Sands offer dune camping under skies that are genuinely dark, while the canyon walks of Jebel Akhdar \u2013 the so-called Green Mountain \u2013 sit at 2,000 metres and stay cooler even in summer. Along the coast, turtles nest at Ras Al Jinz from May through October. It&#8217;s the kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/a-journey-through-oman\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/a-journey-through-oman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">destination<\/a> that visitors tend to keep to themselves, which is precisely the reason to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Seoul&#8217;s street food, mountain temples &amp; K-culture cool: South Korea in full stride<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/hotels\/country\/south-korea\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/hotels\/country\/south-korea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">South Korea<\/a>&#8216;s capital, <a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/spotlight-on-seoul-top-7-things-to-do-in-the-south-korean-capital\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/spotlight-on-seoul-top-7-things-to-do-in-the-south-korean-capital\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Seoul<\/a>, is easy to underestimate from a distance. Up close, it&#8217;s one of the most interesting cities in Asia \u2013 a place where a 600-year-old palace sits surrounded by glass towers, where the street food in Gwangjang Market has passed through generations, and where a night in a jjimjilbang (a Korean bathhouse) costs less than a cocktail and leaves you feeling considerably better. Outside the capital, the pace drops sharply: the templestay program at Haeinsa, the walled city of Suwon and the tea fields of Boseong are all within a few hours. Time your visit for late March to mid-April for cherry blossoms, or November for the fiery autumn colour on Seoraksan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. New Zealand&#8217;s dramatic south &amp; vibrant north: why one trip is never enough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/hotels\/country\/new-zealand\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/hotels\/country\/new-zealand\" rel=\"noopener\">New Zealand<\/a> is one of those destinations that people plan to visit eventually and then somehow never get to. The distances feel manageable on a map; in practice, the country rewards more time than most itineraries allow. Milford Sound is the obvious drawcard on the South Island \u2013 best seen by boat, early, before the afternoon clouds roll in \u2013 but the drive there through Fiordland is as good as the destination. In Rotorua, the thermal activity is constant and strange: mud pools bubble beside the road, steam rises from the ground in the town centre, and the M\u0101ori cultural experiences here are among the most substantive in the country. On the North Island, Hawke&#8217;s Bay offers a quieter version of Marlborough wine country, with better weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lux_UI lux_offer_carousel\">\n\t\n\t<h3>Discover Top Offers<\/h3>\t\n\t<section class=\"splide lux_offer_carousel_feed\" aria-label=\"Discover Top Offers\">\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__arrows\">\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><\/button>\n\t\t<button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<div class=\"splide__track\">\n\t\t<div class=\"splide__list\">\n\t\t\t\n<div id=\"offer_006RF00000aQq4fYAC\" class=\"splide__slide offer_item type_hotel cacheid_1792f8e39a8951c5da33f854a7535506\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/us\/offer\/rah-gili-maldives-asia\/006RF00000aQq4fYAC\" data-le=\"promo\" data-type=\"offer Flash carousel LuxPlus\" data-name=\"Rah Gili Maldives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"offer_link_wrap\">\t<div class=\"offer_preview\">\n\t\t<figure><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/wdc2ieqr9py0s07c09k.webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_250\/wdc2ieqr9py0s07c09k.webp 250w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_400\/wdc2ieqr9py0s07c09k.webp 400w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_600\/wdc2ieqr9py0s07c09k.webp 600w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_800\/wdc2ieqr9py0s07c09k.webp 800w, https:\/\/images.luxuryescapes.com\/q_auto:eco,c_fill,g_auto,ar_16:9,w_1200\/wdc2ieqr9py0s07c09k.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 250px, 250px\" alt=\"Rah Gili Maldives, South Mal\u00e9 Atoll, Maldives \" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\"><\/figure>\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"offer_details\">\n\t\t<div class=\"tags\"><\/div><div class=\"location\"><i><\/i><span>South Mal\u00e9 Atoll, Maldives <\/span><\/div><div class=\"name\">Rah Gili Maldives<\/div><div class=\"tagline\">Grand Opening: Maldives Island Paradise with Daily Dining, Unlimited Free-Flow Drinks &#038;
