It’s safe to say that there is a very large group of people who don’t travel in January. Maybe they had just traveled for the holidays or don’t want to take their children out of school in the start of the new year.
For those of you who plan ahead and have the option to take some time to travel in January, it’s a perfect time for a big trip.

If you want to get to where the weather is almost perfect, places like The Dominican Republic, Bali and Nicaragua are perfect places to fly to and just relax.
Maybe you’re still after some winter weather, if that’s the case places like Hokkaido, Japan and the slopes of Whistler and park city.
Here are the Top 5 Best Places To Travel in January
Miami, Florida
This magical city shows no signs of slowing down during this time of year. The city has seen substantial growth recently with new openings such as the Faena Hotel Miami Beach and the Palatial 1 Hotel South Beach.
If you’re looking for travel in January to this location then be sure to come for the beaches and to see all the hotels.
Bali, Indonesia
Trying to get a hotel room in Bali during the Holiday season is all but impossible. However, come January the crowds thin out.
One of the best places to stay is Mandapa, the new Ritz Carlton Reserve which is situated in a very lush jungle setting. The rooms in this hotel are spacious and modern the views are unbelievable and you couldn’t ask for better service.
Palm Springs, California
This desert town makes another list as the Hollywood hideaway. Lately the town has seen Barack Obama and Nicolas Ghesquiere, who put on a Louis Vuitton fashion show here.
Check out stays at places like Parker Palm Springs or the new L’Horizon Palm Springs.
For travel in January this location is perfect for weather and for spotting celebrities.
Hokkaido, Japan
So far the Japanese yen is still weak against the U.S. dollar so it’s the perfect time to visit this beautiful Asian country.
Hokkaido has some of the best powder in all of Asia which makes it ideal for skiing in the month of January.
If you’re a skier Hokkaido is the perfect winter getaway. Remember, when you’re there, do as the Japanese and be sure to soak in the onsen or hot spring.
The Dominican Republic
The latest opening of Aman’s two new stunning properties on the northern coast of the island offer an unforgettable time. The glass-wrapped Amanera has a world-class golf course and the Playa Grande Beach Club will fill your beach dreams.
These two great properties are within walking distance of each other so you can stay at one and dine in another.
Here’s My Suggestion…
If you want some rest after the holidays, look into booking a big trip with travel in January. Less hassle and memorable experiences that last a lifetime.
Happy Travels =)
