SUMMER AND WARMER CLIMATES

WHEN THE SUN REIGNS SUPREME AND THE CALL OF ADVENTURE BECKONS, CLUB WYNDHAM ASIA INVITES YOU TO BASK IN THE WARMTH OF THE SUN AT SOME OF THE WORLD'S MOST COVETED DESTINATIONS:

Bali, Indonesia

Bali’s dry season is between May and October, and this is the best time to soak up the sunshine on its gorgeous beaches. With its lush landscapes and rich culture, the ‘Island of the Gods’ offers an idyllic tropical getaway. Families will love the abundant facilities and kids’ club at the beachfront Ayodya resort in between exploring Bali’s many attractions.

Phuket, Thailand

Immerse yourself in the tropical paradise of Phuket, where azure waters and golden sands await. Be sure to set some time aside for island hopping. Day trips to the nearby Phi Phi Islands or Phang Nga Bay are popular choices. While the dry season in Thailand runs from December to March, you can still enjoy Phuket at any time of year. Whenever you decide to travel, the weather tends to be reliably warm.

Tuscany, Italy

Take a vacation under the Tuscan sun, and indulge in the romance of Italy. Here sun-kissed vineyards and charming villages invite exploration. Your Club Wyndham Tuscany accommodation is set in an elegant historic manor in the countryside. Florence, Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano and Volterra are all within easy distance, and the renowned beaches of Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta, Viareggio, and Cecina are a few kilometres away.

Hawai'i, USA

With its lush and dramatic landscapes, towering waterfalls, and picturesque shores, Kauai promises endless adventures. Let the aloha spirit of ‘the Garden Isle’ welcome you, from the warm hospitality of its locals to its balmy weather. Hawaii is blessed with sunshine virtually all year-round, making any time a great time for a visit.

Plan your trip to Thailand for mid-April to experience the vibrant Songkran festival.

This laughter-filled celebration marks the Thai New Year, symbolising the washing away of sins and bad luck.

For four exhilarating days, the streets come alive with what can only be described as the world's largest water fight, featuring buckets, hoses, and water pistols.

It's a fun filled cultural experience you won't want to miss—definitely one for your bucket list!
