The archipelago in the Pacific Ocean is not considered a dream destination for nothing. It's so diverse that everyone gets their money's worth. While Kaua'i, with its lush green vegetation, is considered the Garden Island, on Big Island, for example, you'll be amazed by the vast, barren lava fields. Oa'hu, on the other hand, is a shopping and surfing hotspot with cities such as Waikiki.

Phuket, Thailand

Temperature: 25 to 32 °C in February

Thae Jirapon

The Thai island impresses with beautiful beaches, clear water and lush nature. Water sports fans will get their money's worth. The rich culture is reflected in the delicious cuisine, colorful festivals and fascinating temples. Phuket is also known for its lively nightlife, which offers something for everyone.

Cairns, Australia

Temperature: 26 to 31 °C in February

Hardly any other Australian state is as diverse as Queensland. From the tropical north with its rainforest to the Great Barrier Reef and the extraordinary fauna - think koalas, kangaroos, crocodiles, wombats and more - you won't cease to be amazed. If you choose Cairns as your home base, you can combine a beach vacation in winter with numerous outdoor activities and a lively cultural life.

Mauritius

Temperature: 25 to 30 °C in February

Maldives, but make it more varied? Then Mauritius is the island to be. It's small enough to explore during a vacation, but at the same time big enough so you'll never get bored. In addition to swimming, snorkeling and surfing, it's also worth climbing Le Morne, going shopping on the waterfront of Port Louis and learning how to make a curry properly.

While you stroll through narrow alleyways in the historic old town and let yourself be enchanted by the oriental aromas, the palm-fringed beaches and turquoise waters are always just a stone's throw away. Exotic culture (think spice tours) meets beach vacations in winter, diving, snorkeling and surfing included.
