  • Maui, Hawaii: With an average daily high of 80°F, choose between beachfront resorts or old-school campsites to take in the island’s beauty.
  • Miami, Florida: A classic warm-weather destination is Miami, where you can choose between upscale restaurants or affordable local cuisine in Little Havana.
  • Scottsdale, Arizona: While the average temp in January sits around 66°F, you can quickly warm up at one of the many local spas between the free attractions like Balboa Park and Old Town.
  • Key West, Florida: It’s no surprise that Florida makes the list twice, as the warm weather powers through January in the southeast. Explore Old Town, enjoy live music on Duval Street, and sit in the sun as you enjoy the mid-70s in Key West.
  • San Antonio, Texas: Explore the history of the Alamo, check out the River Walk, and fill up on Tex-Mex. Highs will hit the mid-60s in this part of town.

  • Bora Bora, French Polynesia: January is off-season at Bora Bora, which means fewer tourists and cheaper prices. While it is wet season, you’ll be nice and warm in the mid-80s with lots to explore.
  • Cape Town, South Africa: From budget-friendly hostels to luxury views of Table Mountain, get out of your comfort zone and explore South African this new year.
