When thinking of Australia, you instantly think of beaches, and Sydney’s Bondi is the first that comes to mind. The soft sand, sunshine, and picturesque scenery turn Bondi into a dream destination in 2024. There’s more to Sydney than just beaches; this relaxed city is the perfect destination for culture, arts, sporting events, and food with five-star dining, street food, and picture-perfect restaurants dotted across Darling Harbour.  

Since hosting millions of visitors from across the globe for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™, it’s no surprise to see Doha feature on this list. With balmy weather from November to April, visitors can enjoy pristine beaches, five-star hotels, all-catering shopping malls, desert safaris and exotic treasures in the traditional souks. For those looking at flights slightly further afield, turn one holiday into two by staying in Doha to take advantage of the world's best value stopover.  

When you learn that Sri Lanka enjoys temperatures in the high-20s all year round, it’s obvious why Colombo attracts such interest. Ocean breezes both save it from the heat and whip up the waves that make it one of the most popular surf spots in the world. Hiriketiya beach offers some of the country’s best surf, while a sheltered horseshoe bay in the centre is great for swimmers. If you seek culinary delights then try Bentota where you can savour the fresh seafood cuisine at one of the seafront restaurants.

The largest city and the capital of the beautiful island of Bali, Denpasar’s stunning blend of ancient and modern always makes it a popular choice for holidays abroad. From spectacular monuments and tranquil parks to ancient temples, it’s a welcoming city that rewards travellers looking to explore. Bali is just one of the almost 17,000 islands that make up Indonesia, but within its shores, it has endless contrasts. Sandy beaches and rugged coastlines stand alongside volcanic hillsides, lush rainforests and traditional rice paddies.
